Hellooo Peoria

Wish I knew how this Rove/Wilson/Miller/Cooper story is playing in the heartland. The following is quite in the minority of questions at an ongoing live chat with Dan Froomkin:

Manington, W.V.: Why is the White House press corps so worked up about Karl Rove? The whole issue seems so trivial to those of us outside the beltway. Is there something that I am missing?

Dan Froomkin: Evidently.

For all you know, Manington, W.V. could be sitting in the West Wing.
