Senator Patrick Leahy has decided he is going to subpoena Karl Rove to testify before congress. Well, it's about time. But according to Whitehouse Spokesperson Tony Snow, he has already offered himself up in such a way that "he would tell the truth" only under the condition that he not be sworn, documented and that he be free to hide one

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.

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.

They had better make certain they swear him in. Anything less should be considered contempt of Congress.

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.

One day he [Karl Rove] will forget what he told whom and when he said it. I could see Rove holding his own head.

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!

Getting the truth from Karl Rove will be like trying to nail a hunk of jell-o to the wall.

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.

Gotta love those repugs! They're always willing to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth (as long as you don't hold them to it).

What is the point of testimony if he's not under oath? If you're not going to lie, why not testify under oath and prove it to the American people.

My gut feeling tells me, that we will never hear the underoath testimony nor the truth from KR nor anyone else in this administration.
Only after this administration is out of office, will the truth be exposed.

Karl Rove and Truth go together like oil and water. He would much rather lie than tell the truth.

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.

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.

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?

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.
