Rove is the personification of Ivory Soap pure innocence. Ha ha ha ha ha.

I can see it now....

"mr. rove, did you ever contact the justice department in any way to discuss the possible prosecution of the governor?"

"Well... what I can say is that the first time I learned the fact he was being prosecuted, I read about that in the paper.."

Leanred about what the first time? That he was actually indicted? So what - that has nothing to do with whether Rove was invovled with getting him indicted.

Rove is mincing words. A form of lying.

Once again Rove insults the intelligence of the American people.

Rove has no respect for Americans.

How much wasted time and money is spent on things that are not as important as fixing national security, social security, the FAA, IRS, etc., etc? Politicians never focus on what is best for the nation. They want to be the next soap opra on television! JERKS!

When Bill Clinton was elected he fired all of the Federal prosecutors. Did he have a good reason for firing each of them? Why is it an issue that Bush did it and not Bill Clinton?

This seems another cause of Democrats and Republicans doing the same thing, but when the republican does it, it automatically becomes a crime!

Just another quick comment. Isn't this what all these Democrats got elected to do? Endless hearings on things that matter to no one? Baseball, football etc etc.

These hearings should not be covered on a serious news channel as a waste of time. They should be on a comedy channel!

Heather, do you mean hearings like the ultra ridiculous impeachment of Clinton that the Republicans spent millions of dollars and endless hours on in the late 1990s. Especially since they knew in advance that their efforts would fail and Clinton would remain. I would be ashamed to call myself a Republican right now.

Karl Rove is everything that we do not want in American politics. His evil actions have polluted our government.

Heather,
Clinton fired his judges in the beginning of his term, like most Presidents do. Bush fired his judges because they would not agree to conduct investigations that were petty and partisan and to his(and turdblossom's)liking.

Anyone can get subpoened. Big deal. What makes democrats mad is that Rove never got into any trouble that they claimed he would. Poor things, they were so devastated.

Jon Meachum, editor at Newsweek admits that now that Karl Rove works part time for them, much to their surprise, he's very popular there. Everyone likes him. Shock - he's not the devil the liberal media portrayed him to be!

LOL.

Don,

Clinton did nothing of the sort.

1. Federal judges cannot be fired by a resident. They are appointed for life. Clinton fired federal prosecutors.

2. Clinton was the first president to sack his federal prosecutors en mass. Until 1992, this was not "normal" practice.

3. In addition to the 93 prosecutors initially replaced at the onset of Clinton's term, he also replaced approximately 30 more. Admittedly, there were a range of reasons for this and some were deservedly replaced (i.e., the person who was photographed grabbing a reported by the throat, for instance)

4. You have to be utterly niavite to believe that personal politics was also not at the root of Clinton's decision.

This is not about separation of powers as Karl Rove suggests. Instead, it is about targeting political opponents using the justice department in order to influence elections. Now ABC news needs to investigate the claims of voter caging, voter fraud, and the firing of the US attorneys. It's clear to those who have paid attention that these scandals are all related. The question is why aren't Karl Rove and Alberto Gonzales in jail.

I cannot you believe that you give Rove a forum. He is nothing more than a traitor and a criminal and IS advising McCain and should not be treated as an impartial analyst. Do not degrade your program by having this man on anymore.

How about we give Rove the benefit of the doubt?
If he is guilty, it will be proven. Just like the Plame witch hunt, Rove was not involved, and that was proven after an exhaustive investigation.
I realize it gets the Dems all excited to think that they may get a shot at Rove, but until someone actually charges him with something that has some merit, everyone should just get of his back.

Maybe they should sit back and watch his analysis on Fox, the man actually has some great insights into politics and government, and maybe that is why Bush got 2 terms, not because Rove stole elections.

j2theb, you need to do your homework. Rove orchestrated a multi-state plan to have millions of votes thrown out, giving Bush two elections. Check out Greg Palast's "Armed Madhouse" to find out the details. The evidence is there, but the justice dept won't pursue it because up until now, they have also been loyal Bushies.

LOL!

R.I.P. The U.S.A Republic.

They lied to get elected, they promised they would not do what they have been doing. But they had a mission, an that was to get the PResident, an especially Karl Rove. Look at all the wasted time an money the Dem controlled Congress has done. Its no wonder the economy started taking a nose dive after they took control. This Nov, we need to throw them ALL out, both partys. Then make the new ones sign a pledge that they will Drill for oil an build refineries, so we can then figure out alternatives. Start feeling for the little guy for once besides pandering for their votes, an then kicking them aside after you get elected.

Hearing Cheney say “the campaign was over and that our actions in office would not be dictated by what had to be said in the campaign,” Chafee writes, was “the most demoralizing moment of my seven-year tenure in the Senate.”

Seeing republicans still supporting these criminals with no knowledge of the facts is a sad day in America. Rove is at the fore front. Look at where we are now. Our country is desimated and they're okay with it. Idiots supporting liars.

The prosecution of Don Siegelman was a tragedy. Rove is another McCarthy-ite fascist and is NOT above the law.

Someone in this discussion vein suggested that reporting on this matter was a waste of time, a purely political exercise, and that we should be directing our attention to other, more vital matters for the nation. Please be reminded that, should be allow officials in office to be subjected to false accusations and prosecutions for drummed up crimes they did not commit in order for opposing politicians to have them removed from office, we in turn will be no better off that people in a dictatorship. We have to care about things like what Rove has orchestrated here, and we must keep caring, and we must keep reporting when things like this happen. We call that "democracy."
