If Bush is smart, he will realize that the damage to himself would be greater by not allowing Rove to testify.  That is why I expect him to not allow Rove to testify.  This should be hereafter known as “Bush’s Law”.

Many are saying (including CBS) that Gonzales is sure to go. My guess is that Bush will try desperately to save Gonzales and Rove. If they can pin all the tampering with investigations on lower levels then all they need is a new Libby, Sampson. They must feel strong that Leahy won’t ask for impeacment.

Watching sworn testimony from Rove and Miers will make good theater, but will only show that Bush hired a bunch of amnesiacs. Leahy will never get any useful information from these obfuscating “disassemblers”.The best he can hope for is that either or both will plead the “Fifth”.

I’m a cartoonist from New Jersey, and here’s my take on what’s happening to Karl Rove.

To view the cartoon, go to http://tornoe.blogspot.com.

Of course executive priviledge will be invoked.  Both the president and the vice president are criminals as has been consistently portrayed by all their political appointees; what would stop them from furthering their criminal actions?  For example, executive priveledge was invoked for the 2001"energy talks” that Cheney had with the oil companys and lobbyists whereby he probably told them that we would attack Iraq and that was before 911.  How’s that for national security?  Supeonas are necessary and then impeachment should begin because I’m sure that these 2 war criminals will stonwall any attempt to testify.

In the 2006 election, Americans elected Democrats not only because of issues surrounding the invasion and occupation of Iraq, but also of the utter corruption on nearly all levels by the Bush administration.

Rove, Gonzales ... the list of corrupt officials associated with Bush and Cheney seems to be huge.

It is time for the new Congress to conduct assertive investigations. For more on this, see:

It is about time!  How much longer will Congress continue being a Bush junkie?

It is past time to go into rehab before we all get carried off to a camp.

Related story on NPR’s “On the Media”—the story reports of statistics that were gathered by an independent researcher and these statistics appears to dovetail directly to the Bush plan to fire US Prosecutors around the country, if they ‘did not’ politically play ball with the GOP and were ‘too’ independent.

The Gonzales 85

If 8 prosecutors were fired because they weren’t hard enough on Democrats, does that mean the other 85 were? Maybe. Communications professor John Cragan has found that Bush’s Justice Dept. has prosecuted 7 times as many Democrats as Republicans.

Thank you Senator Leahy.

I find it amusing that Carl Rove, the modern incarnation of Niccolo Machiavelli, Is to be subpoeaned and asked questions under oath by Senator Leahy’s committe. After all, the subpoena did not exist in Niccolo’s ancient Italy. In those times of yore a bit of bad advice from a confident to his prince would be followed by the confident’s head rolling down the castle steps. But I will be satisfied by the modern counterpart of ‘heads will roll.’ I believe its about time that Rove found out what most of us have known for a long time…‘what goes around comes around.’

And a hardy welcome back to Washington for Harriet Miers! Returning not to take up a post on the Supreme Court, as Bush the Court Jester wanted, but to take her place in the docket beside Mr Rove. Ya gotta love it!

All in all, some very good news for a change. Keep up the good work Mr Leahy and Truth Dig!

Good show, Senator Leahy. Please subpoena Karl Rove then bring him to justice. This damned guy had created lots of problems within and outside this criminal administration. There’s no more time to keep absolute silence. You have to speak the voice of the American.

Hooray for St. Pat!!!
