  • Comey for AG!

    Did anybody else catch Comey's testimony yesterday and begin to wonder what a good Attorney General he would make? His testimony was clear, concise and centered around a true concept of justice. I then checked out his history a bit and found the reference to his refusing to okay shady dealing on illegal wiretapping while he was acting AG during Ashcroft's surgery. That action, of course, immediately accounted for both why he is no longer in the Justice Department and why he would be one of those best suited to return it to its true purposes.

  • Karl?

    You mean, "M.C. Rove"? Maybe he could rap his testimony to Congress!

  • Magnet for Trouble

    "the president's chief political advisor may have been involved in an attempt to mislead Congress -- one more reason they are demanding to see his emails and force him to testify under oath."

    Wait, haven't they already de-magnetized the servers that were vaulting those incriminating e-mails? Didn't Rove et al. put faithful GOP interns to that task by now? Haven't they been "lost" yet? I'm imagining Young Republican career opportunists (e.g., future Supreme Court law clerks) hastily spilling cans of Coke on the servers, shorting them out (in case they haven't found any de-magnetizers in time).

  • For the sake of what's left of our constitution.....

    Karl Rove should be chained, shackled, dragged screaming from the White House and thrown into a 'Supermax' prison for the rest of his miserable life. His concerted acts against the constitution are the worst crimes of treason and sedition this country has known.... though... as it comes out... I'm sure the rest of the Bush crime syndicate will be found equally culpable. But for the time being.... lock the monster up and throw away the key!

  • Senator Patty Murray, you listening?

    We know that Patty's staff reads salon.com. (She's even roasted a general, in a committee meeting, with a kindling wrapped in a salon.com article about Walter Reed. She makes me think about fine senators in the past, including Bobby Kennedy asking about Vietnam.)

    Senator Murray, this is something to hand-carry to the members of the Judiciary committee for both your chamber and the House.

    I am no lawyer, but if this were a civil or criminal court testimony, wouldn't the term be called "witness tampering"? (And wouldn't anyone who did it be subject to, oh, perhaps losing a security clearance and spending time in prison without his blackberry?)

  • I'm shocked. Shocked!

    Oh, please! Is there a single intelligent person in the United States who doesn't know that Cheney & Rove actually run our government, and that nothing that this administration does is not done for political power? George W. Bush never, ever had to study, work hard, save, plan for the future... all the things that we adults were taught to do, and which we do every day of our lives. George W. always knew that his father or one of his father's friends would open the door for him, tell him what to do or, when he didn't listen and mucked things up, help him to fix it. His numerous arrests, multiple drivers licenses, failed business ventures all are proof of this. All this amiable doofus had to do was stand up, (try to) read the words written for him, smile and shake a few hands. Others would always do the heavy lifting, others would always take the blame.

    The genius of Karl Rove and Dick Cheney is that each morning George W. Bush wakes up and believes that he's actually running the country.

  • Article needs correction.

    It wasn't James Comey who testified about Rove's meeting, it was the current Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty. Reference: http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/17174983.htm

  • Keep Fatty McFat roasting on the spit for awhile.

    I hope the Democrats drag their heals abit where Mr. Rove is concerned. Nail his fat ass to the wall the minute George Bush slinks out of office so he can't be pardoned.

  • A meeting with Karl

    it now appears "the president's chief political advisor may have been involved in an attempt to mislead Congress.

    No. It now appears we may be able to prove the President's chief political advisor was involved in an attempt to mislead the congress.

    It has appeared so, obviously so, for a good deal longer than "now."

  • A meeting with karl

    is like a day without sunshine. Pass the baloney...

  • Does anyone think

    that Doofus will not issue a pre-emptive pardon to Rove, whether he has been charged with any crime or not? Recall that when President Ford pardoned former President Nixon, he had not been charged with any crime.

    One suspects that Rove views this life as merely a dress rehearsal for his dream job: managing the campaign of Richard Nixon for president of Hell.
