PJ - I think if nothing else, this entertains the both of us:

"My understanding, from talking to somebody quite close to this investigation, is that they think there are going to be indictments and possibly Karl Rove could be among them, if not for the act of the leaking information about Valerie Plame, then perhaps for perjury, because he‘s now testified four times."

. . .

"Michael, you wrote a piece in this November issue. I guess it‘s November issue. Let‘s take a look at a quote from it on the reason why Cheney might not, by—keeping a low profile right now: “The outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame is reaching rather to close for comfort for the vice president. Best just not to be available to anyone who might want to ask you what you knew and when you knew it.”

You are right: time for some popcorn and a glass of wine. The show is about to start.
