And in other news, another dingleberry may have hit the fan in the Rove/Plame case.

Miller's singing, and her source was Libby.
Hmmm. 2 sources. Same story. But none of it was intentional. Move along folks, nothing to see here...

I don't believe most people had any doubt that it was Rove and Libby, they just needed confirmation, which they appear to now have.

Hooray! Dingleberries!
I almost thought they'd gone extinct.

Did you k now a dingleberry is a piece of poop that hangs onto your butt hairs after you have crapped and wiped?
They can jail you and force you to reveal a journalistic source in the US? :eek:

Not normally, no. In this case, the "source" was the person actually committing the alleged crime itself. No source, no crime. Therefore the journalist was ordered to cooperate with he Grand Jury.
Someone more versed in law can probably explain this better, but it is a rather gray area.

Let me try. In the U.S. you can be forced to reveal a journalistic source if they are legally defined as a dingleberry. You can be held in contempt indefinately no matter how much you wipe. Exceptions to this rule involve the voluntary shaving of all butt hair. This case contrasts starkly with the Novak controversy which involved multiple douchebags. Some legal experts have argued that a douchebag can be effective against dingleberries, but this has been untested in case law.
