Context

Cooper's paraphrased grand jury testimony is out. You can read it at kos, but here's the important bit:

The 'wingers will excerpt just one line from this article -- out of context, and without the subsequent damning statements:

So did Rove leak Plame's name to me, or tell me she was covert? No.

Cooper gave the right wing spin machine a gift with that one. The next sentence:

Was it through my conversation with Rove that I learned for the first time that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA and may have been responsible for sending him? Yes.

Kossacks, the DLC, and good people everywhere need to be prepared to respond with that follow-up sentence when the 'winger spin kicks in.

I did not have sexual relations with that woman, anybody, anybody?
