RAGGED THOTS: "I've Already Said Too Much"

"I've Already Said Too Much"

Before the subject of the early-week media frenzy is completely forgotten:

Matt Cooper says in Time magazine:

Although it's not reflected in my notes or subsequent e-mails, I have a distinct memory of Rove ending the call by saying, "I've already said too much." This could have meant he was worried about being indiscreet, or it could have meant he was late for a meeting or something else. I don't know, but that sign-off has been in my memory for two years.

Hmm...Cooper already admitted to channelling the movie Animal House with the e-mail reference, "double super secret background."

Is it possible the seemingly un-hip Karl Rove could have been unconsciously channeling Michael Stipe and REM? Consider "Losing My Religion":

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
