Why, when he’s a “Presidential” Advisor in the Bush “administration,” of course!

Talking ’bout you, Karl:

An intelligence analyst temporarily lost his top-secret security clearance because he faxed his resume using a commercial machine.

An employee of the Defense Department had her clearance suspended for months because a jilted boyfriend called to say she might not be reliable.

An Army officer who spoke publicly about intelligence failures before the Sept. 11 attacks had his clearance revoked over questions about $67 in personal charges to a military cellphone.

But in the White House, where Karl Rove is under federal investigation for his role in the exposure of a covert CIA officer, the longtime advisor to President Bush continues to enjoy full access to government secrets.

Of course, there’s always the possibility that Rove will do the honorable thing and recuse himself from discussing matters that require a security clearance until the Fitzgerald investigation is concluded….
