		<description>154: Clean, understood.

The alternative solution is being prepared as I write, just in case. I have faith in the actual Justice Department, as well.

The circumcision is proceeding nicely, with or without the well meaning legislators.

The great part will be the last act-one nobody will want to miss.

		<description>Come again??

The Office of Special Counsel, is COMPLETELY seperate from the DOJ and seperate from Gonzales.


The Office of Special Counsel that would include, Patrick Fitzgerald, James Byrne, a slew of other career officials etc then there is &quot;Scott Bloch&quot;


Now Scott, he&#039;s a political appointee. 


But pay attention.


What we&#039;re saying is they can be trusted and we&#039;ll get the job done.


See Senator Ted Stevens??

http://www.tpmmuckraker.com

He&#039;s going to be staring outside of a prison cell and a Grand Jury is preparing finishing touches on that all important investigation.


That was all our work, so the so-called &quot;leadership&quot; in Congress needs to pick up the ball and run with it!!! The corruption is going to be removed, and we&#039;re going to have impeachment with cherries on top.</description>

		<description>The corporate press favors Republicans.  Are you surprised?  They incessantly attacked Bill Clinton, remember.  But they let The Imposter and Deadeye get away with murder - Iraq.  Corporations and their captive press love Republicans, hate unions, and hate workers.  If you don&#039;t understand the preceding, let me sell you at least one span of the Bay Bridge.</description>

		<description>anybody who wants to read about historic parallels shoud pick up copies of Richard J Evans first two parts of his trilogy. He discusses in detail the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;coordination&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; of all aspects of the political landscape in germany to reflect the Nazi ideology.

What is of particular interest is how it clearly shows that partisan ideology inevitably leads to the rise of the mediocre. meritocracy is replaced by sycophancy. pure talent, in terms of any job description, becomes irrelevant.

The only plus is that it eventually leads to demise. no system can survive the strain of uncritical thoughtlessness.</description>

See what learning the facts for yourself can do?   I like him, too.  I know that the perception of him is unfairly harsh.  Some have only seen him singing &quot;Sixteen Tons&quot; at that speech.  And when they run footage of him without the sound, all one sees is a deceptive picture of a small man.  But hear him speak and your opinion immediately begins to change.

But, unfortunately, it&#039;s unlikely (though not impossible) that he&#039;ll get the nomination.  I think he ought to use the campaign slogan &quot;Doesn&#039;t my wife deserve to live in the White House?&quot;</description>

		<description>It&#039;s end-of-semester time, democratic representatives.

Divorce the self from all entanglements and focus.  Nothing else matters.  Don&#039;t ask if Pinky&#039;s a genius: Act like he is.  Failure can not be an option.

Think about his relationship with his mother and father and frame everything around these weaknesses.  Never, ever let Pinky grab dominance in any exchange.  A yes or no answer will do fine.  He is guarded.  Break him down.

Once he busts, he is yours.  Screw this up and you&#039;ll fade from our senses like a bad smell, then lose our favor permanently.

http://www.light-to-dark.com/karl_rove_plays.html

And, one last thing: Find the best private sector attorney(s) and have them make a list of questions.  No offense, but you rose to your position not on the strength of your courtroom skills but on above average communicative skills.  Realize your weaknesses and recruit the strengths you have not got.  Never let ego dictate your course.  You represent us, and we are more serious than you might imagine. 

The entire world is watching.

		<description>Note that this might be a setup from the Office of Special Counsel to clear Rove. After all, this is the Justice Department of Alberto and Karl, as some documents released by the Justice Department have indicated. 

Nothing from the Bush Justice Department can be trusted. Their high-level adminstratorsâ€™ outright and frequent lying has already been exposed. 

We donâ€™t know what perfidy these monsters have been and will be perpetrating. They seem capable, though not yet out of futile desperation, of committing any offense conceivable. The Bushboys are just that evil.

The Office of Special Counsel is not located in the DOJ.  It would be wise for you to inform yourself of the facts before popping off.</description>

<p>The Office of Special Counsel is not located in the DOJ.  It would be wise for you to inform yourself of the facts before popping off.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=3863461', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>Just like Lurita Doan, Karl Rove will engage the Democratic Congressmen in a discussion on some obscure esoteric rule of grammar and get away scott free, even if the Democrats are able to muster enough courage to exercise their power and force the Presidential advisor to testify under oath in public.

Methinks Karl Rove and the Republicans are playing the Democrats for the fools that they are, making unforced errors in every play.

Inform yourself, kknow-it-all: the Democrats don&#039;t yet have sufficient votes to do as you demand.  Why?  Because the Republicans are foot-dragging.  So who do you bash?  The Democrats.</description>

		<description>&quot;The White House has admitted that roughly 20 agencies have received a PowerPoint briefing created by Karl Roveâ€™s office â€œthat included slides listing Democratic and Republican seats the White House viewed as vulnerable in 2008, a map of contested Senate seats and other information on 2008 election strategy.â€

WHY GO THROUGH AN INVESTIGATION THAT WILL JUST COST MILLIONS, GET PEOPLE  IN THE HOT SEAT  THAT &quot;CAN&#039;T  RECALL&quot; WHEN THIS PARAGRAPH IS AN ADMISSION THAT ROVE VIOLATED THE HATCH ACT.  NOW, WHAT NEEDS INVESTIGATING IS WHAT AGENCIES WERE INVOLVED. WHO HEADED THEM  AT THE TIME AND HOW MANY EMPLOYEES WERE INVOLVED.</description>

		<description>To whoever said the &quot;Office of Special Counsel&quot; meets with Alberto Gonzales.


This is totally false. They are not in &quot;any way&quot; connected to Gonzales office, anyone in Gonzales&#039; office, and they are a fully independent agency.


The agency director, Scott Bloch was a political appointee.


But that situation has been taken care of, as Bloch has to answer to James Byrne. 


Bloch is under the command of career officers and James Byrne is the one managing the investigations, meaning completely independent. It WILL find wrong-doing, and it will reccomend punishment for it in the harshest way.</description>
