Rove, the Rat?

While many of us have long considered Karl Rove to be a porcine type figure, it appears he may actually be of the rodent variety.

Via Raw Story:

According to several Pentagon sources close to Rove and others familiar with the inquiry, Bush's senior adviser tipped off Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to information that led to the recent "discovery" of 250 pages of missing email from the office of Vice President Dick Cheney.
[...]
According to one source close to the case, Rove is providing information on deleted emails, erased hard drives and other types of obstruction by staff and other officials in the Vice President's office. Pentagon sources close to Rove confirmed this account.

Rove's lawyer denied that Rove might be attempting to save his own butt by working out a deal to avoid prosecution in Plamegate and stated that Rove has been freely cooperating with Fitz's office all along. And, there certainly is no love lost between Rove and Cheney. Now, if we could only find out quickly what was in those missing e-mails...

Perhaps Fitzmas, Pt 2 will arrive early this year.
