So the Valerie Plame affair has disrupted the White House, is the cause for much of the bumbling and Karl Rove is a very worried man. My question is: "Who runs the White House?"

How about the fact that democrats and liberals don't take kindly to the fact that Bush wants to install his crony gal pal on the Supreme Court with a wink and a nod while James Dobson knows more about her than the Senators.
Capitol Buzz has this: When a campaign committee sends out a memo saying "we're not worried," it means that they're shitting bricks.
