MoveOn, the left wing political action group, sees a White House conspiracy in the announcement of President Bush's new Supreme Court nominee.
When the White House revealed that the president would release the name of his pick Tuesday night, MoveOn quickly issued a press release suggesting the timing of the announcement was simply a "wag the dog" effort to help Karl Rove.

The MoveOn release reads:
"President Bush has apparently speeded up the announcement of his Supreme Court nominee to deflect public attention from the Karl Rove scandal."
Evidence of the timing conspiracy?
MoveOn cites an unnamed "Republican strategist" who told Reuters Tuesday that the announcement "helps take Rove off the front pages for a week."
MoveOn reiterated its contention that "the President should keep his pledge to the American people and fire Karl Rove for his involvement in disclosing the identity of a covert CIA officer."
No matter that Rove claims he never released Plame's name or that he learned of her CIA connection through a reporter, Robert Novak.
