49. Did you actually see what happened that night?

They all tried to stay with him, but the numbers on the screen were changing as he was speaking. Even they could not contradict what people were seeing with their own eyes.

He was like Baghdad Bob. It was over, everyone knew it, even Fox Hacks could not pretend anymore, they tried to go along with him, until they couldn't.

It was like watching someone who had planted a bomb, waiting for the explosion, it doesn't happen, people go check and come back and tell him 'there is no bomb'. He KNOWS there is because he ordered his hit man to plant it there. So he keeps screaming, 'wait, it is there, it's too early to say it isn't'. So they go look again. But there really is no bomb. He still can't believe it .... because it never failed before.

THAT'S what happened that night. It was not Fox Hacks suddenly being honest. It was Rove unable to believe what was actually happening.
