Rove knows no law

Whats going to happen anyway? (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hZDPDG3HNjIv0GWUaM1t0BED3UoAD91R2BMG0)

Worst administration ever. Has any administration used the White House as a playground as much as this one?

I hope they arrest him and he has to go to Federal Pound-Me-In-The-Ass Prison.

A girl can dream, right?

The arrogance is absolutely astounding.

[yeahwho]

It's real interesting, I mean you know, Rove just basically told the Congress of the United States to "Go Fuck Themselves".

His whole wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Rove#George_W._Bush_Administration) is a bizarre creepy tale, from being a nerd to finding out his father is a homosexual, the draft avoidance and right on up to the Senior Adviser for President Bush and the criminal behavior he seemingly cloaks himself in.

I don't know where I heard it but it still makes me laugh when I think back to his resignation from the Bush cabinet and his reason being he wanted to "Spend more time with the family" someone quipped, "He's got Family?" that's comedy!

He's very scary

While Cheney tells one Congressperson at a time.

definately worst administration ever. i still remember cheneys comment about the iraq war. when given the number that almost 70 percent of americans think we should not be in iraq, and that it was a war based on lies, he simply said, "so what".

bush making comments that the constitution is just a peice of paper.

the lies

argh.

Last time I checked, Congress still has oversight over the executive branch. While the Republicans were in charge from '00 to '06 this was ignored, and now that the Dems have control the White House is just flat out refusing to cooperate. Their assertion of executive privilege is a flat out statement that Congress has no oversight authority whatsoever.

I think this is something that should be challenged in court, and taken all the way up to the Supreme Court. Not because I care about the specifics of Rove and these appointments in particular, but because the limits of executive privilege need to be defined once and for all.

Bush DID set a new precedent for firing US Atty's mid-term for partisan reasons. That had never been done before. And the alleged reasons for firing the US Atty's that he did, for their failure to follow White House directives (emanating from Karl Rove) to use the office for partisan gain, would most definitely be considered an abuse of office. The Department of Justice is supposed to enforce the laws of the country, not attack the political enemies of the party in power while protecting corrupt members of that same party.

Honestly, can the Dems just put one of these clowns on the stake before this admistration leaves and they look at each other in disbelief saying "we made it!"

If this administration doesn't abide by the law....why should the citizens of this country?

Seriously...if these people had nothing to hide (ehem bush's quote) why are they acting this way?
