Scandal gives Democrats a chance to investigate Rove
http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/17003053.htm

WASHINGTON - Allegations that politics improperly influenced the Bush administration's decision to fire eight U.S. attorneys last year are providing the new Democratic majority in Congress with a long-sought opening to investigate the maneuverings of White House political strategist Karl Rove.


The testimony in the Senate this week by a former top aide to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales seemed only to heighten Democratic lawmakers' determination to force Rove to provide a sworn, public accounting of his role in the controversy. In that seven-hour testimony by Kyle Sampson, Rove's name came up some 70 times.

1. as does the GSA scandall (tied to a top aide of Rove) and
the use of external email accounts (found in the USA scandal - but suddenly brings back the Abramoff scandal).

Old turdblossom is about to get stinkier and stinkier.

2. He should have been derailed during *'s gubernatorial race.
It's astounding that he has had clearance and access to the Whitehouse destroying our democracy bit by bit from inside for so many years.
