Just who in hell does that punk congressional committee think they are in summoning the great and powerful Rove. He answers to no government lackeys and answers to King George only. The Bushtapo does NOT answer to silly ass laws or provisos of that silly old piece of paper called The Constitution.
Fie on your paper, fie on your common laws, fie on all of you serfs. You WILL honor the divine right of kings! National security uber alles!
Rove has repeatedly stated that he'll talk if there is NO record kept, NO tape recording, and the talk is informal, non binding, and he can lie like a motherf*cker with no consequences. Now, what's wrong with a deal like that?

Exactly, Teech!
All these Neo-Cons need is FOUR MORE YEARS to consolidate (infect) their ideeologie to accomplish their ULTIMATE goal ... UN-ACCOUNTABILITY.
All that needs to happen is to have Johnny 'Slick' McCain become the next presdient!

Teech, Rove was an employee of President Bush, not an elected official. He's protected by the term Executive Privilege. As I've mentioned before, if you want to change this and clearly define the rights of the President and his staff, then amend the Constitution. Your other comments are strictly ridiculous. If the President really was a king or dictator, you would have already been picked up by one of the blue party vans. I believe in Nazi German, the USSR, Cuba or Venezuela it's the fog and mist decree.

All I heard when Clinton was being investigated is "What is he trying to hide?" and the Supreme Court ruled that he had to give testimony. Now that the other party is being investigated it's Executive Privilege. Make up your mind. Executive Privilege does not overrule the investigation of a crime. The Republicans didn't quit until they got Clinton to make a false comment under oath. Now I would like to hear Karl under oath and see how many lies that he's told.

I really think Clinton wasn't an honest politician. He made great sums of money trading in futures and other very risky investments. It's called insider trading by the way.
Also with the Global Crossing and Whitewater Development Corporation regulators were told to stand down when questions arose. Before you claim it was a Bush thing, this was well before he was in office.
Another problem besides the renting out of the Lincoln bedroom to the highest bidder, I think people didn't like the selling of pardons. Lots of pardons were issued in the final days of the Clinton White House. Many were to people who didn't deserve them. Some also question the convenient heart attacks and suicides that seem to follow the Clinton's.
I think the worst, the multiple payouts for claims of sexual misconduct. One okay, money grubber looking for a fast buck. 4-8 claims of assault and sex with a young intern in the Oval office, we seem to have a problem that needs help.

Given the climate of the past seven years, the death, the destruction, the lies, the law breaking, the Constistution trashing.....yours is an absurd remark!! Next to the current gang of thugs, Clinton is little lord fauntleroy! And you had best get your head around what they've done, and how it's affecting YOUR country! This "but but but but but but Clinton" crap is pathological!

LOL!
Little Lord Fauntleroy! I liek that.
Yes ... continuing the references to characters from fine literature ... if you had to measure the length of Clinton's nose and Goerge W. Bush's nose ... were each to reprise the role of Pinnochio ... Clinton's nose might shade his shoes ... but Gee Dub's nose would span three time zones.

You better hold your breath pal, I will bet the ranch that you are fixing to see some real doozies right before Bush leaves - and Rove will be one of them.
By the way, EP ONLY APPLIES TO NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUES. Covering up of criminal acts doesn't fit in that category.

Do you think Bush is? I'm just trying to see where your head is because if you think Clinton is dishonest (and I'm not disputing that) how could you not recognize the same to an even greater and extensive degree, in the present administration? That blows my mind!!

Yeah maybe if Bush was getting blown regularly he wouldn't have needed to invade an oil rich Arab nation that didn't attack us or pose a significant threat to us. Maybe he could have stayed focused on bringing al Queda and the Taliban to justice(instead of letting them have a home base in Talibanistan). Hells-bells maybe he would have been focused enough to put a stop to the 9-11 attacks altogether.
Oh wait, you meant impeached but aquitted on all charges, nah, I rather see him leave office as the most disgrace American President of all time (that he is), and then face charges for his administrations crimes.

For the love of Ol' Mrs. Mitchell! Clinton lied about who he screwed in his own home, and the Republicans cost the nation a young fortune over it and haven't gotten over it yet.
Bush's lies have cost us over 4000 American lives, trillions of dollars we don't have, the value of our reputation AND the value of our currency in foreign lands, untold personal expenses to private citizens due to the cost of oil. And these are the SMALL things compared to what he's done to our Constitution and laws with his oath-breaking. Get your head out of youe a$$, FSU. What is your degree? BS in Self-Deception?!?

Sorry neg'd by mistake. Your absolutely right, Rove committed crimes while acting in a government positions. The repugs seem to think its perfectly OK to claim executive privelege when there is clear evidence that they have violated the law yet see nothing wrong in invetistigating a presidents sex life when it clearly didnt effect his performance in the office nor did it violate any law. What would the din have been from the hAlpha crowd if CLinton claimed executive privelege.

First of all, the concept of "Executive Privilege" is NOT in the U.S. Constitution, anywhere. It is a concept that was introduced by the Supreme Court to ONLY cover issues of extreme national security, where if information was revealed about something that could legitimately compromise the security of our nation, then Executive Privilege could be invoked.
That means that Executive Privilege does NOT allow the President or his staff to commit crimes, break Federal law and otherwise subvert the overall rule of law in the U.S. (which this White House has done repeatedly in it's 7 years in office) and then claim "Executive Privilege" to avoid being investigated. Bush invoked Executive Privilege 4 times in a single month alone when stonewalling the U.S. attorney investigation. If you believe that has anything to do with national security, send me an IM, I've got a bridge I want to sell you.
