Smelling blood, finally

The blood spewing from the Administration's "outing" of Ambassador Wilson's wife -- an Administration official illegally leaking Wilson's wife's identity as a CIA operative in retaliation for Wilson's statements about the absence of "yellowcake" from Niger -- has been in the water for months, literally since July. Only now, however, has it reached the mainstream media, with the resultant hue and cry.
Question: Why did it take so long for the major media to smell it?
Question two: Now that this blood is in the water, along with all the blood about unfound WMD's, nonexisting yellowcake, aluminimn tube BS, and so forth, has a critical mass finally been reached so that no longer will the media (except Faux, of course) be pussies when it comes to investigating and reporting on the Bushies?
Like Watergate, which was stuck on the back pages of most dailies for months before Judge Sirica forced the defendants to come clean, this one has languished, but once the floodgates opened (pardon the multi-mixed metaphor), Katie bar the door.
