Let the beating of breasts begin:

The prosecutor in the C.I.A. leak case on Monday advised Karl Rove, the senior White House adviser, that he would not be charged with any wrongdoing, effectively ending the nearly three-year criminal investigation that had at times focused intensely on Mr. Rove.

The NYTimes spends most of the rest of the article indicting Scooter Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff. Typical.

Update: An Ldotter suggests creating a new word:

Fitzzle- the fizzling out of a manufactured, trumped-up charge.

Now that’s funny, I don’t care who y’are.

Vodka Pundit observes:

It’s really too bad this news didn’t come out on Friday. The reactions from the wackos at the Kos Konvention would have been priceless.

Yep, an opportunity missed.

Update II: RightWingProf reports that there is some good news for liberals.

Blackfive celebrates. A sample:

Bite me Joe Wilson and your silly, scarf-wearing wife. Suck it Firedoglake and Kos and every other deranged lefty collection of wankers who spent so much effort over nothing, well an attempt to bring down W’s brain isn’t nothing, but it sure didn’t work out now did it? Hey can we get a definitive ruling that Joe Wilson is a lying, self-promoting, man whore?

Michelle Malkin declares this Rove Derangement Syndrome Day.

Moonbats are hoping that Rove got a ride because he “flipped on Cheney”. Here’s just one comment extracted from those posted at AmericaBlog (via TigerHawk):

Well, it is possible he turned on Cheney, but does anyone think that ANY of these criminals will ever face justice? They are teaching young Americans to break the rules and laws of our country. I want to go back to the national discussion on oral sex. It was a much better conversation to have with your child. I keep telling my son that the behavior of Bush & Co. is traitorous and not the way ANY presidency is run.
