We're Hoping Really Hard, How Come It's Not Coming True?

Michelle Malkin details the mania dimentia that seized the blogosphere's left hemisphere over the last couple days, based, it would seem, on a wildfire rumor that was just too delicious not to be true, for a room of left-leaning lawyers and politicians (from the Detroit Free Press):

Whatever it was, the news that White House adviser Karl Rove had been indicted for perjury electrified the 700 or so lawyers, judges and elected officials (including featured speakers Gov. Jennifer Granholm and U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y.) gathered at the Dearborn Hyatt Regency for Saturday night's annual banquet of the Michigan Trial Lawyers Association.

Until they found out that maybe he hadn't been.

MTLA Vice President Robert Raitt was heading toward the podium to introduce Clinton, the banquet's keynote speaker, when Gerald Acker, a Southfield trial attorney and prominent Democratic fund-raiser, mentioned Rove's indictment.
...
Sunday, an embarrassed Acker told me he'd passed along the report of Rove's indictment after hearing it from Mark J. Bernstein, an Ann Arbor lawyer whose resume includes a stint in the Bill Clinton White House.
...
He insisted that simultaneous e-mails reporting Rove's indictment were based on Internet speculation, not unauthorized disclosures of grand jury proceedings.

And yet, good "news" received, moonbats jam their fingers in their ears to ward off any disconfirming data and rejoice.  Hillary Clinton was among the hundreds of banquet-goers to leap to their feet to applaud the "development".

Yeah, whoops.
