Time to "take the appropriate action"

-- Kevin Siers, Charlotte Observer, via Cagle.

The Republican Roveheads are trying to change the debate, using the GOP's talking points to: (a) slime Joe Wilson, husband of the CIA agent Rove helped to expose, and (b) try to change the debate to the question of whether Rove committed a crime. Whether all of the elements are present to convict Rove criminally, it is clear that what he did damaged national security. The "appropriate action" is to have him exit the government, whether through resignation or firing.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has produced a video on the Rove affair. Watch it, and you'll be ready to sign a petition asking for his ouster.
