Dana Jill Simpson, a key source in 60 Minutes' major report on how Karl Rove helped to destroy the political career of Alabama's former Democratic governor Don Siegelman, very strongly defends her claims in the face of Karl Rove's lies and denials. Simpson looks ready for a real confrontation here and suggests if Rove wants to claim they never met he ought to swear it in front of a judge and jury. Could the Siegelman case be the one that finally nails Karl Rove? Check out the video to your right for more.

Karl Rove is a fat pig. He is a dangerously cunning power-player who pulls GWB's strings. In effect, he and his cohorts ARE the president. George is to stupid to do or say anything on his own- he is a puppet ruler and Rove is one of those who pull his strings.

Looks like Rove thinks he can romp on anyone with impunity, I say give him more rope and eventually he'll hang himself with it, this is the type of person he is. He is a psychopathic liar and is in love with himself.Usually you don't have to do anything, he'll end up being the author of his own demise.

that Karl Rove and all the other bushies can run, but they can't hide.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid that justice will never be served on these criminals. But no one would be happier than me if I am wrong!

Psychopathic, sociopath, with a personality disorder. Send him directly to jail, where he belongs....but make sure he gets his daily dose of waterboarding.

"Pardons for One and All!"

Bush will end up giving his entire administration pardons before he leaves office! I would bet on it!

My first thought was that he couldn't give Rove a pardon because Rove hadn't actually been convicted of anything yet. But then I remembered back to the Ford pardon of Nixon. Nixon hadn't been convicted of any crimes either!

So... "retroactive immunity for the telecoms... AND MY ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION!"

He will find a way to do it to save his own ass.

Who can start a nasty rumor? Karl Rove.Karl Rove.
Give Democracy a tumor? Karl Rove. Karl Rove.
Character assassination -
Campaign of disinformation -
"Screw the people! Screw the nation!"
Karl Rove. Karl Rove.

That's from my video on YouTube (search for "karl rove's pitchfork").
