Rove is a 'two-headed rattlesnake' says former Ala. Gov. Siegelman

Former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, himself a purported victim of the machinations of Karl Rove, urged Congressional patience when it comes time to interview the former top Bush strategist of his alleged role in the politicalization of the Justice Department.

But his calls to the House Judiciary Committee to take its time in building its case against Rove didn't stop him from calling Rove a "double-headed rattlesnake" in a Thursday phone interview with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow.

"Karl Rove is like a double-headed rattlesnake," said Siegelman, a Democrat. "You have to back him into the corner before you get anything out of him."

For this reason Siegelman urged that Congress not rush to interrogate Rove now that he has finally agreed to answer questions reports The Washington Post about his role in the 2006 bribery conviction of Siegelman.

2. I don't know why, but I keep messing up with Rove and Rush

Sometimes when I see name "Rove" I think it says "Rush" and vice versa.

3. rove should be asked of his role in withholding aid to NO those 5 days

as they waited for black on white violence to use on talk radio/fox for the elections

4. Thanks for the link I was wondering how his comments would

accent this chaos in the judicial department. His recommendations to bring in other involved in this case against him would be a very good move by congress. I hope they listen to him. Prosecuting him for actions that have never been perceived as criminal in any law of the land is interesting. Can't wait to see how this is finally tried.
