IS THIS THE NEBBISH WHO'LL BRING DOWN KARL ROVE?

Scott Bloch, Special Counsel of the United States. He's opened an investigation into Karl Rove's activities, particularly certain alleged violations of the Hatch Act. Scott Bloch was on C-SPAN this a.m. Seems like a kind of bumpkin (and incidentally master of the double-negative: "We will not leave any stone unturned"), but he just may be that rarest of birds in the Bush administration, an honest man uncorrupted by political manipulation.

Look for the Rovians to begin discrediting him, but Bloch has this history that'll make him hard to discredit without doing the administration itself some harm, because Bloch has been criticized for being a right-wing tool and even a Christian Right tool. It would be poetic justice for him to be the one who finally gets some goods on Rove.
