You magnificent b@st@rd.
Clutching at straws, these democratic socialist congress critters are investigating whether or not the Justice Dept. prosecuted people for political reasons, and they wanted Mr. Rove's valuable, non-partisan help. Of course.
Turns out Mr. Rove kindly refused their polite request for help: a congressional subpoena. Being the former White House political director, he claimed executive privilege.
The democratic socialist congress critters voted 7-1, with all Democrats agreeing, that Mr. Rove had no such privilege. That vote could not have possibly been for political reasons. Of course.
The panel is trying to determine whether partisan politics influenced the Justice Department's decision to bring a corruption case against former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, a Democrat. Rove has rejected the notion and said he would speak with the committee only in private, not under oath and without a transcript. He also proposed answering questions in writing.
And the democratic socialists continue to beat the rotting horse corpse of the 2006 firing of nine U.S. attorneys.
12% approval rating, nancy! Twelve percent!
