Posted By trnscndr 1 year, 11 months ago in NewsSenator Patrick Leahy has decided he is going to subpoena Karl Rove to testify before congress. Well, it's about time.

I love the pics! And of course, he will lie. He knows no other way, but these lies will finally be ones for which he is legally accountable. There is a difference, and call me naive, but it's a step in the right direction. Something may come of it.

The legally accountable part is what the White House is trying to avoid. After all, they have been lying so long about so much, lying has become a very useful "executive privilege."
No matter how they spin it, if they were going to tell the truth, they wouldn't resist being under oath or fear all the legal ramifications of lying.
These people are sleazier than Nixon's White House, and are not afraid to show it. Who's gonna stop 'em?

Water board the SOB. Let him have a taste of what goes on in Gitmo. Then drag his worthless fat rear before a judge and give him his day before a jury of his peers.

If he's not bound to the truth he can tell the Senate anything. It doesn't have to be true. What's the sense? To hear him lie repeatedly for hours on end? What a joke. If he can't take an oath then don't even bother to hear it.

Good point. That's the hardest part about lying. But he is a pro.

After watching Gonzo's performance before this committee I can't wait to see "Turd Blossom's" act. If they would have had these guys in New Orleans during Katrina they could have "sand bagged" the whole 9th ward!

If lies were money, Karl Rove could pay off the national debt all by himself. He needs to be under oath, in public, with documentation. No hiding, no obfuscation. Just let him tell the truth, if he can remember what that is.
He reminds me of a Chucky-type Pillsbury dough boy. Evil behind a pleasant countenance.

"He reminds me of a Chucky-type Pillsbury dough boy. Evil behind a pleasant countenance."
I met him at a public hearing in Williamson County once. Only his pictures give him a pleasant countenance, up close he is pretty creepy. When I went eye ball to eye ball with him, the theme song from "Jaws" started playing in my head.

"I hope you don't get upset by my comment but this should be under humor because this guy has always been a joke as far as I'm concerned. As for him ever telling the truth on anything, it'll be a frosty Friday before that happens."
Seems like you haven't upset anyone so far. We're all on the same page.

Put him under oath. If he doesn't show up in answer to the subpoena, have the Congressional police handcuff him, and bring him before Congress. THEY try him right there, and can put him in the jail in the basement until the trial is complete. Just do it. I don't think Congress realizes how fed up people are with this nonsense.

Bellieve me, Karl Rove is like St. John the Baptist!! Hes like the profit who prepared the way for the Right Wing Savieur!
Like me, Karl believes in his God given arrogance. As such, I dont much see how or why he needs to even talk to Lehay let alone answer questions.
Everbody knows that this administration answers to only one judiciary. And Jesus Christ is the Chief Justice of that boddy.
Far as Im concerned, you all just need to git more faith that GW is a deeply conflicted man. And Karl Rove has deep conflictions also.
I beleive strongly in deep convictions.

More money wasted, just as all the other meaningless congesional investigations .... with the amount of money they waste I'm not sure what is the bigger crime.
....but then was most of the paper the story was written on.
He is a liar, naturally with additional training and protection, the rest of the storry was ovedone repeats of the first line with total irreivant subjects being brought in.

I would have to agree any story committed to Rove would be a waste of paper. How indolent and ignorant of me! I beg for your forgiveness and wisdom for a correction to my non-ecological use of forest resources.
As we all know, every internet blog wastes so much paper and money! How astute of you!

Don't try to reason with these people, Ningyo. They're liberals. They don't operate on the principles of logic and reason. Everything is emotion and feelings for them. The real facts are irrelevant. Bush lied, Cuba has utopian healthcare, the economy is horrible, the planet is burning up and we're all gonna die. That's the truth because they say it is. It doesn't matter if it isn't the truth. Like I said, facts are irrelevant to liberals, because they so glaringly show the weakness and errors of their arguments.

"Ass" is not on the sh1tlist, because it is within so many other words and it is actually a word used in the bible.
Also, it is technically one of the technical definitions for Rove, Bush and Cheney. Gonzales is technically the stuff that comes OUT of an ass (as in, the thing Jesus rode, of course).

FTA: "Meanwhile, Bush, Cheney and Snow will simply complain that there has become a proliferation of politics where there once was none."
That's the most ludicrous lie of all of them, coming as it does from the lips of people who have used the bully pulpit to try to destroy their opposition with every kind of spin mastering, lying, obfuscating and slandering known to man.
All brought to you by the man who ran on a platform of ending partisan bickering in Washington. Just one more lie from the lie factory. Bush never even bothered to try.

I would pay to see Karl Rove testify. Pay per view. It might be great television viewing. We know he can write, we know he can rap - "whats my name? m.c. Rove" - we know Rove cant dance. But can He tell the truth?

"we know Rove cant dance".
Like hell he can't! He dances with the same zombie-like rythm (more like a St.Vitus dance)of which nearly all those "devout" fundies, like Robertson, Swaggard, Baker and the rest of the wild-eyed "Saved Ones"...

They all lie. From Bill Clinton's 200 "I don't remember, recall" etc. when deposed and on to Libby, all of these guys seem to be dishonest. Even Mr. Clean, Ron Paul, inserts pork into the budget for his district and then votes against it knowing full well that the budget will pass and he will have his cake and eat it, too. I am as conservative as they come, but I think the time has come for Nader.
