I want to know where Dov Zakheim is. Over $2.3 TRILLION of taxpayers money went missing from the Pentagon under his watch. Rumsfeld publicly announced the missing funds on 9-10-2001, the day before 9/11. Dov was officer of a corporation that makes remote controls for really big planes, like the ones that flew into the Pentagon (the accounting department, by the way) and into the WTC. Where are you Dov??? You got some 'splainin to do. Forget Karl Rove. I want to know where Dov Zakheim is. Over $2.3 TRILLION of taxpayers money went missing from the Pentagon under his watch.

Craven coward would be redundant. Than again calling Rove a cowardly coward, does have a nice ring to it. I too wish the Democrats where more assertive across the board. However whenever they are, the general ignorance of the public, has them sympathetic to the Republicans when they start wining about the Democrats being bullies.

If that happens, we can't do anything, and he's off the hook. Let Bush leave, and we'll can clean up properly with no pardons.

That would be an Executive function (i.e. the White House). All Congress can do is vote to hold Rove in contempt in accordance with its inherrent contempt powers, issue an order to the Sergeant at Arms to arrest him. If that were to happen now, it would be really good to see if he ever comes back. If he did not, he would then invite the comparison to Benedict Arnold. I say that if that's what he wants, more power to him. Sorry Walt, Congress can’t do what you wan’t. That would be an Executive function (i.e. the White House).
