Rusty Introduces Reality to the Blogosphere

UDPATE: Assistant to President Bush and VP Chief of Staff Scooter Libby has resigned his White House position, under indictment for lying to the grand jury and special prosecutors.

It looks like VP Chief of Staff Scooter Libby is busted. Rove's fate still appears to be in the air, but it looks to me like he is going to skid through with little more than a political scratch. But what does this mean for politics in TN? How will this ethical scandal play into the Senate and Gov's races in 2006? Will this "off-set" the mostly Democratic scandal of TN Waltz? Is this going to be bigger? Some point out TN Waltz just outed Dems and one GOPer for personal corruption but this scandal exposes powerful GOPers and the administration to charges of corruption for power at the expense of national security? Is that accurate?

From AP reports: The White House did expect an indictment charging I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, with false statements in the probe.

Also from the article...
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove escaped indictment in the CIA leak case Friday but remained under investigation.Rove's lawyer said he was told by special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's office that investigators had "made no decision about whether or not to bring charges" and would continue their probe into Rove's conduct. Rove is President Bush's closest adviser.

But here is another good question, how will the TN blogosphere react? Will large parts of the partisan blogging aparatus either ignore it and give those in trouble a free pass or try to spin it? Will the other end of the political blogosphere spectrum offer insight or just regurgitate talking points?
