Bush Speaks on Rove! Well, Kinda...

I'm sure you've heard by now, but Bush did have a few words about the Rove / Plame story today, and some are reading something into his lack of a ringing endorsement:

"This is a serious investigation," Bush said at the end of a meeting with his Cabinet, with Rove sitting just behind him. "I will be more than happy to comment on this matter once this investigation is complete.

"I also will not prejudge the investigation based on media reports," he said, when asked whether Rove acted improperly in discussing CIA officer Valerie Plame with a reporter.

Man, where are the people with the inside scoop, like Robert Nov - oh, wait...I guess Novak would want to sit this one out, eh?...
