BillO tells Karl Rove: 'who in their right mind would want to go into a House committee, which is just a dog and pony show'
By John Amato Wednesday Jul 16, 2008 3:10pm
BillO is such a mighty man. He sneered at the LA media critics since they are far left loons...how empowering that must be. And he feels so bad for Karl Rove being asked to testify in front of the House Subcommittee about his involvement in the Donald Siegelman case. Since Rover is on the FOX team now, there's really no point to all that malarkey and it's all about dogs. I think....

As was reported on 60 Minutes:
Now a Republican lawyer from Alabama, Jill Simpson, has come forward to claim that the Siegelman prosecution was part of a five-year secret campaign to ruin the governor. Simpson told 60 Minutes she did what’s called “opposition research” for the Republican party. She says during a meeting in 2001, Karl Rove, President Bush’s senior political advisor, asked her to try to catch Siegelman cheating on his wife. [..]
She says she spied on Siegelman for months but saw nothing. Even though she was working as a Republican campaign operative, Simpson says she wanted to talk to 60 Minutes because Siegelman’s prison sentence bothers her conscience. Simpson says she wasn’t surprised that Rove made this request. Asked why not, she tells Pelley, “I had had other requests for intelligence before.”
“From Karl Rove?” Pelley asks. “Yes,” Simpson says.
I did enjoy Rove calling himself SATAN. Yea, that fits. The Factor Man didn't seem to know anything about the case and didn't bother to tell his audience what it was about as he stumbled with Don's name. Hey, Bill, does this seem like a legitimate reason to call your hero in to answer a few questions? Do you think Rove might have turned his life into a nightmare?
O'Reilly: They gave you a hard time about not wanting to go testify..uh..in front of the House Subcommittee about Don..Donald Siegelman...you know, now who in their right mind, and I'm, this is a non-partisan thing, who in their right mind would want to go in to a House committee, which is just a dog and pony show, trying to embarrass whoever it is, you, me whoever has to go, who in their right mind would want to do that? They wouldn't. They won't come on this program, most of those pinheads. Okay. So they give me a hard time about that, and, I guess they're giving you a hard time because you worked in the Bush administration and now you work at FNC?
Rove: Yeah, yeah uh well on the first one, you know they were completely, and a lot of the questions were polite, but they were clearly ill informed. They said why don't, why don't you refuse to testify. I said look I've not invoked any privilege, the White House has invoked privilege. The White House has invoked an Executive privilege to Constitutional authority of the President not to have his aides drawn up to the Hill for any reason that they want and I said but I have been five times offered, through my lawyer to meet with Democrat members, Democrat staff, Republican members, Republican staff, or answer in writing questions that they might want to submit about this in order to preserve the President's prerogatives of separation of powers, while at the same time giving them information that they supposedly want and not foreclosing any options.
Non-partisan thing....It's non-partisan to refuse to testify for entrapping a governor---to ruin his career so he ends up in jail for no reason.

First! Unfortunately, BillO is right.
Thought Rove was traveling abroad? Still can't wait until I can disregard a subpoena!
Was this today? If it was the police should have stormed in and arrested Rove for violating a subpoena by skipping the country. If they don't, then the rule of law is as ineffective for the wealthy as I fear it is.
Of course uncovering lies and criminal activity is just a "dog and pony show". More proof that reich-wingers have utter contempt for this country.
Which one of these two is the dog and which is the pony?
Shorter Rove: I have tried five time to negotiate an appearance before Congress where I won't have to take an oath and perjure myself but they just won't bend to my will. Fuck'em.
Until Pelosi and Conyers are serious about IMPEACHMENT, anything that takes place at the People's House as a hearing is a dog and pony show.
Or maybe people hate BillO because he's a completely pompous asshat??!?
What the Hell is wrong with the Dems? When are they going to get the balls to arrest this guy? He is a CRIMINAL! Plain and simple. In fact why don't they arrest all of them? Chaney, Bush, ..., the list goes on and on.
Billo comparing his show to the House Subcommittee. Like his show is part of the US Government. That arrogant asshole. "They won’t come on this program, most of those pinheads". Karl Rove and Bill just laughing at the Government and getting paid big time.
The only thing that angers me more is the wimpy Democrats.
Bill, can't you just pull down your republican guest's pants and bury your face in their butts? What's with all the theatrics about it.
Exotic Blue Lensman @ 5:
The one barking up the wrong tree is the dog, and the pony is the one shittin' ya.
The real question is who is riding whom?
Aaaaaggghh!! my eyes!!! Two of the ugliest, most repulsive people on the planet in one place.
Self-hatred as an art form...Fair and Unbalanced!!
greg @ 10:
or he's calling his own show a dog and pony show. which i have to say is pretty offenseive to dogs and ponies.
Was this via satellite link-up from the location of Karl Rove's “long scheduled” trip that was “well known about”?
Exotic Blue Lensman @ 8:
Yeah... that's it!! Arrogant and ignorant can be added to pompous when describing this waste-of-skin fucktard and asshat!
O'Reilly and Rove are swine.
greg @ 10:
I hear you. I am so sick of Nancy and Harry and the rest of them saying if he does not honor subpoena we are going to start procedures for (the next subpoena). I mean, its embarrassing to watch. And the big pig traitor getting paid by FOX and just laughing at all they claim to be protecting. And we want to bring Democracy to Iraq.
uhm if I may ask....
who listens to this garbage? I dont. I dont take fox seriously. Just the uneducated morons of this country take it seriously. For some reason I feel like a genious in a ocean of idiots. These last 8 years I am NOT PROUD OF AMERICA. I AM ASHAMED OF MY COUNTRY. I AM A AMERICAN AND SAYING THIS. I guess I am not a patriot then. I am one of those stupid liberal wackjobs.
Exotic Blue Lensman @ 8:
Das stimmt. True. And the fact that his show is a dog and pony show.
Actually billo's a fan of the south of the border dog and pony sex shows.
Republican = Sexual Deviant
Karl Rove is the embodiment of contempt for the elected representatives of the people -- a.k.a., the House and the Senate. He could stand as the flashpoint for the Democrats to make clear to the citizenry that they have a pair. In Pelosi's case, this is both factually and anatomically false. Satan has a dance partner and she's wearing her hooves.
who in their right mind would want to go in to a House committee, which is just a dog and pony show
I guess Billdo doesn't understand oversight and "Checks and Balances".

I honestly think Billo thinks he's a God. The egos in these cretins is amazing. I really hope the Dems win a mojority in November, if not, we will be subjected to the likes of Billo and Rush for years. If the Democrats crush the Repugs, I will be a terrible blow to these guys. I can just see Billo freak.
In a lot of the novels I read (espionage, CIA, etc) someone like Rove would have to look over his shoulder for the rest of his life after the Bush Administration leaves DC. Then, well....he certainly wouldn't be the first...
I believe in justice. Everyone is brought to justice, eventually. IMO
Does anybody remember the old Un-American Activities Committee?
Does anyone remember what, if anything, happened to the people who refused to testify?
Just curious.
Seems a lot of folks, iirc, showed up, but took the Fifth.
They were 'blacklisted,' innit?
An Average Joe @ 28:
Not everyone. If everyone were brought to justice for wronging everyone else, this would be a different world. For one thing, justice would have a universal definition. For another thing, people would have clear understanding of the boundaries of others. For yet another thing, cultural imperialism would play no part in deciding the definition of injustice. For the last thing, it would require a radically different method for evolution to work, which would in all likelihood have butterflied away today's Eukaryotes.
Lets not forget Sean Hannity. Lets see. Which one do I hate the most.

woody, tokin librul @ 29:
They were blacklisted, and generally shunned by society. Yet HUAC was run by the ancestors of today's GOP in political terms, not the ancestors of today's Dems.
They didn't entrap him, which would involve luring him into committing a crime. They simply made the crime up. There is a difference.
Alice X (Chomsky Nader) status quObama - change you can pretend in - @ 18:

I animated a chunk of this interview today for Salon.com, but it won't go up until Monday.
If Obama is in his right mind why would he ever appear on the Bill O'Reilly program? It is just a dog & pony show.
woody, tokin librul @ 34:
No they are the other white meat.
Let's pretend what should have happened at the airport if Rove has returned to the US. Okay...Hello Mr. Rove, I'm a federal officer placing you under arrest for contempt of congress. I am bringing you to jail to put you before the congressional subcommittee to extract information from you that does not feign death, so you don't have to worry about torture. The only torture you will have to endure is the lame excuses of representatives asking you questions that will not be followed-up with. No turn around, widen your stance, and bend over. Oh, and put your hands behind your back.
This pudgy pig has taken dirty politics to a new low, and he needs to be held accountable. Not so bad had it just been to get some misfit elected to a Congress seat, or some state level position. This turd blossom is responsible for not only getting this crime family elected to the White House, but also he is responsible for CRIMES against public figures...such as Siegelman. He needs to be locked up and disposed of, for the sake of national security.
I hope they press getting this fat ass pig in front of Congress to answer for the wrongs he's done to our government. What a bastard!
BillO and Rove equates to a Dog-on-Dog show!
orcas @ 36:
I hope he never goes on that show. It would be a disaster to acknowledge that show as newsworthy. Please folks contact Obama's folks and tell him never to on that show or any FOX prime slime show.
Between billo and baby-face - who's going to be the dog and who's going to be the pony?
*
It's quite an interview....
Does ANYONE but the 28% Koolaide deadenders still watch this network? The Bush years are OVER.
So is all the blustering blowhards that inhabit Karl Rove's Twilight Zone.
History will not be kind to him. "Satan" is a kind word for little piggy.
Non-partisan thing
So Rove, partisan political advisor to the president, hired by Fox for his knowledge of partisan politics, is asked to testify about the partisan acts he undertook, to achieve a permanent partisan political majority.
Of course its a non-partisan thing!
wow - Billo must think pretty highly of himself (yeah, thats a stretch!) to compare refusing to come on his show with refusing a congressional subpoena. what a joke that guy is
There is something wildly wrong about this congress. There does seem to be some collusion maybe based on extortion. I can't figure it out for the life of me. Years ago I watched Tip O'Neill 's funeral from across the street and now I mourn the old guy even more,(he was a neighbor). There are only a small number of actual fighters in this strange swarm of jellyfish.
Maybe it is a strange post 9/11 amalgam of paralyzing fear wedded to belief in the merit of untrammeled greed.
The only thing I can offer is to repeat that macro forces beyond any one humans control are gathering like a storm that will be the undoing of this strange creepy corporate oligarchy that slipped in to steal the republic.
Much of the corporate world in the US, especially in the financial sector, is insolvent and near collapse.
For now we are stuck with Kabuki and mutt and pony manipulations.
But time will pass swiftly and my sense is that the wave of freshman congress critters will be a huge improvement over the current line up. All signs point to an unprecedented GOP wipe out across the board when you dig beneath the fog stories tossed by the MSM and actually look at numbers like voter registration and on the ground capabilities Obama has made. There may also be a substantial amplifier from the way WWW2 is utterly corroding the impact and power of old media.
One indice I watch is the stock value of the New York Times and today it is near twelve bucks and it is going down even on days when the market is up. It may be useful to track the share price value of a number of the worst offenders from ABC/Disney to Newscorp and so on. Match it to their Nielson ratings data.
Wall street has probably already priced in the certainty of an Obama presidency as a lame old nag like McSame will hardly get out of the paddock and they know it. He is the most incoherent wreck from the GOP since Warren Harding.
At least W had a ruthless and highly capable machine to ride on.
We are in a time Yeats described in some way where the best lack any conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity.
Chris Rich @ 47:
Collusion based on extortion? Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence or greed.
Awesome!
This is a new BO Defense: "Sorry your honor, I know I got all them DUIs but honestly, I think your court is just a dog and pony show, and I gots better things to do with my time, buh bye...."
Can't wait until O,reilly dies and Jeff Gannon gets his job.
Bill makes a good point. who in their right mind wants to go testify when they're subpoenaed. it just doesn't sound very fun.
but. I mean. oh fuckin well, right? you get a subpoena, you have to go testify. I can't believe thats his talking point. it just doesn't sound fun? it doesn't sound like a fun way to spend a Tuesday afternoon? lol, OJ should have said the same thing. "naw, I don't wanna go to court, its just such a hassle, maaaaan..."
I thank C&L for taking it for the team by watching Faux and recording this crap for us.
I rather not watch tools like BillO and Hume making porno slurping sounds while they suck bushie balls.
I'll bet you anything they'll replace Snow with another neocon bushie like andrew card or alberto. That's just how they roll...in the horseshit.
Jeez Renn, didn't you die in the Masurian Lakes in the early days of world war one? Just kidding. Sure there is lots of incompetence and even more greed but this is strange as if collusion from fear and it is the most wretched abrogation of opposition prerogatives I have ever seen.
I for one always felt the true flaw of our system is the failure to embrace an equivalent to Parliaments where all manner of parties come and go but the emphasis is on coalition building and deal cutting. Here we have these two superannuated fossils, Dimmacrites and Repugnicans and they suffocate and any actual sorting of the people into their preference patterns.
What a load of crap. Pursuant to US v. Nixon, the president can't evoke privilege for any reason that he wants.
So BillO is disrespecting our government, the founding fathers, and the Consitution. Such a great patriot, isn't he!
Yeah, no one in their right mind WANTS to go to jail, either. There
isused to be, however, something called the law, and itsayssaid that sometimes youhavehad to do things youdon'tdidn't want to do. No matter who youthinkthought youarewere.The impeachment of Clinton over Monica Lewinsky, now THAT was a dog and pony show. Bringing the criminal Bush regime to justice, that's showing patriotic love of country.
He is a coward.
The only thing good about Addington and Yoo was they were man enough to testify under oath.
what is the democratic response?
capitulation!
... who in their right mind would want to go in to a House committee [...] They won’t come on this program ...
he is equating a subpoena to appear before CONGRESS to an invitation to his "talk show"...
imagine that... keep 'em dumb, billo...
Chris Rich @ 53:
Actually, the guy I named myself after died in the Russian Civil War when Lenin decided the only answer to some Tsarist generals wanting to join his new Russian army was to give them a bullet in the back of the head for an answer.
Actually, you kinda underestimate one benefit of American-style democracy. Whereas Westminister systems tend towards rigid party identity and never. crossing. the. party. line. ever., the American system under the right circumstances has broad-tent parties that can range from old-school Stalinism to Dixiecratism (the Cayazoux Dems) on the Dem side and extreme Right-Libertarianism and isolationism (the Paul Republicans) to authoritarian imperialism (Bush-Republicanism and Neoconservatism). Under a broad-tent system, interparty co-operation is theoretically easier than under the ironclad loyalty of the Westminister system.
who in their right mind thinks they can just snub a congressional subpeona?
I'd like to have that kind of hubris!
Yeah, you Republicans would know all about that wouldn't you
Betcha Rove knows how much of his millions Billo had to give to Andrea Mackris
Pelosi and Reid love the Bush White House. They will never, NEVER, pressure Bush for any reason. Period. They will never impeach. Period. Prove me wrong if you can, I would welcome being enlightened.....
alzuben - maybe everyone getting a subpeona from any government body should cite Bushco precedent.
Oh I forgot laws and being forced to follwo the law is for the little people
(thanks nancy)
this is just how it went in Germany and this is how it went in Russia:
one set of rules for the Reich loyalists, another set for the insufficiently patriotic.
ETHIOLIB @ 1:
Nah. Bill-O is wrong, comrade. If the executive privilege is going to be invoked, it should be done in the chamber on a question by question basis (or at least topic by topic). Time to grab the egghead by the collar and haul is ass in. Problem is, the demos don't have the cajones that the republicans had.
clytemnestra @ 66:

How dare we pretend we have rights!
Renn, you are among the best here, keep at it. The Rennenkampf I'm thinking of died at Tannenburg in a general route led by an obscure staff officer of Paul Hindenberg's army in 1914. It's in Barbara Tuchman's 'Guns of August'.
The fate of Marshall Tuhkochovsky (sic) in the Stalin Purge trials is even creepier.
Back to topic, there is something really strange about the utter incapacity to just go arrest Rove for contempt of congress. I don't get it.
prunes @ 67:
insufficiently patriotic=less than $10million in assets.
Funny how they hide behind the Constitution.
Bill O'reilly Flips Out.. ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tJjNVVwRCY
Wow. Somebody file that nugget about not going before the House. I'm sure if the Republicans take back the House while the Falaffel Guy is still on the air, he will scream about people not wanting to appear before House subcommittees.
as much as this exchange between two people that test my good nature and respect for other human beings, this sort of attitude will continue to fester and grow until the day the dems in power grow the political courage to do the right thing and take the bush co criminals down. but time and time again we see that this will not happen and so we are left with the smirking bushies flipping the bird to the rule of law. and so i am left with one thing to say....nancy and harry must go. somewhere there certainly must be a dem leader that can and will do the right and called for thing here.
Well, BillO is right, but not in the way he meant. Congress has become nothing more than a dog and pony show, especially since they don't show any real backbone on these issues.
But one argument that should be thrown back at the right is the same one they threw out about illegal detentions, wireless wiretapping, and removal of habeas corpus:
If you have nothing to hide, then what are you afraid of?
Of course, it's TOTALLY different when you're a high government official than when you are a regular citizen. Regular citizens are expected to ALWAYS follow the law at all times. High government officials don't have to if they are protected by executive immunity (or else the lack of Congressional cajones).

I'd be willing to spend money towards a campaign to paint their districts with posters spitting on their constituents who voted to keep these obstructions of justice in place.
We don't need any hearing Rove Billo and the rest of the gang are bigger traitors then Capt Smith of lost in space, one day I hope Billo will get his clock punched.
who in their right mind would want to go in to a House committee, which is just a dog and pony show, trying to embarrass whoever it is, you, me whoever has to go, who in their right mind would want to do that?
once again, BlO says 'btw, im so incredibly important...but this isnt about me or how awesome i am'...hey, bill...have you EVER been asked to testify in front of congress?
this is like when he was talking about the peabody awards and then blew off the fact that he'd won two...which was easy to do, since he's never won a peabody award....
Guys take names every one of the fascist swine are going down, I will turn my own father in for being ignorant piece of shit.
Chris Rich @ 70:
There's a raft of plausible reasons, IMHO. First, the Dems probably don't want to get caught in the traps the Bush Administration may have laid for them by setting it up that even innocent Dems may seem guilty. Such traps are the norm for politics everywhere. Second, fear that if they do this, and a Dem slips up even slightly in Obama's term, the GOP will land on it with the sweetness of a 100 lb anvil. Third, regular corruption and greed. Fourth, simple inertia. Fifth, a sense that arresting Rove might lead to some nasty retaliation by Bush's gang on someone, also par for the course in the profession of amorality. And sixth, simple fear that Bush may have the GOP rallied to his side like starving African Wild Dogs on a wildebeest if they actually lift a finger.
None of those reasons are moral, but then morality seldom enters politics, IMHO, unless somebody wants to hoodwink someone in an election, and that's been true as long as government has existed, about 6,000 years in both Eurasia and the Americas.
Oh, how I long for the chartreuse sky of the Rovian's world to fall.
Listening to Bull O'Really?'s rhetoric is like encountering someone whose right and left eyes are of different colors. At first, you might not be able to pinpoint what disrupts your sense of normalcy, but once the aberration is spotted it is too glaring not to notice. His propaganda goes over the heads of folks who won't bother to figure out what's wrong, but screeches like fingernails on a blackboard to anyone who thinks.

Pssst.... Bill'O - nobody gives a mouse turd about whether or not you WANT to go into a House committee. You're legally mandated to do so if they summon you. You're not legally mandated to go on the O'Rly Factor.
mouse turds is the appropriate coin of the realm.
Exotic Blue Lensman @ 5:
Neither. They're both horses' asses.
Rove should be locked in the basement of the capital right now!
It's simple. Rove and O'Reilly are the news. They don't cover it - maybe make up a lot of its content for their own pleasure and ratings.
In addition, how is the injustice of having Don Siegelman wrongfully convicted using our tax dollars and thereafter imprisoned not news ?
I love the idea of bringing up media bias, but never citing numbers or facts. Keep it vague and repeat the propaganda. Maybe people will forget about all the disasters that are occurring around the world... I wonder...
I almost threw up watching that video. The most radical right wing biazed "news" station on television claiming someone else is biased?
These far right loons actually believe their own b.s..
Two evil men who enabled death and destruction and war on massive scale. And they are laughing about it. Why has God forsaken us?
I hate to agree with Bill O'Reilly, but he's right about the dog and pony show. The democrats have allowed it to be just that, because they aren't about to go after these guys for anything because they are complicit in the crimes themselves.
Bill O'Reilly is right and that is a God damned shame
We just want Rove to testify under oath. No dog and pony.
O'Riley -- "Who in their right mind would want to obey the law and the Congress, one of the (supposedly) co-equal branches of our republic."
Delusional Billo thinks he's been in journalism for 35 years? hahahaha. I'll tell you why I hate you Bill: your ego is so big, you couldn't find reality or truth if it smacked you on the side of the head.
Zeno @ 88:
because your god is an evil psychic vampire who loves racists and hypocrites, alex?
talk about a mutual masturbation society, eeeesh... (major shudder). Couple points. 1) BillO is in criminal contempt for giving shelter and protection to person willfully ignoring a congressional subpoena. 2) BillO said that far lefties can never give a reason for our contempt. How about this: You are an arrogant bastard who treats the left wing guests with zero respect and even contempt. You push truthiness in your reporting. You refuse to go on Bill Moyers show, and refuse to have him on your show. Bill Moyers had Grover Norquist on his show for crying out loud.
I second my thanks to C & L for watching this shit so I don't have to.
I don't read the Siegelman case as even approaching entrapment. He didn't do anything wrong to begin with. So he couldn't have been "tricked" into breaking the law by overzealous prosecutors. It was prosecutorial misconduct and perjury that put Siegelman away. Rove's involvement probably was not criminal in nature. But he has information that would probably lead to prison for some prominent Alabama Republicans. So if he is ever put under oath he either commits perjury himself, or he puts some Republican bigwigs in jail. Thus Rove's offer to testify in private without being sworn. The critical part of the offer is his requirement not to be sworn. That way he can lie without committing perjury.
Our laws no longer constrain or control our government and its employees.
That is the Cheney legacy.
I hope Obama sticks it to the "dog and pony show" of Billo and Hannity. If Obama consents to interviews on Fox News I hope he limits his appearances to Greta, Chris Wallace and Major Garrett.
Why wont Bill OReilly and Karl Rove just hurry up and DIE?

the democrats are probably afraid the neocons will stage a false flag attack or launch a preemptive attack on iran if they move to impeach.
and let's face it, we the people have been far too reticent to talk about what's really at stake. we'd rather lampoon dildo o'reilly or send out the paparazzi to find out if lindsey lohan's a lesbian, than ask the tough questions re: iraq (oil), afghanistan (opium) and 9/11 (pnac).
my guess is that the only thing giving joe sixpack a chance at survival is that most in the military and u.s. intelligence now believe the entire executive branch as well as most of the legislative branch are bribed, blackmailed crooks.
i wonder if rove's down in one of those "continuity of gov't" shelters, like ten miles beneath alaska, or in a stiudio in the united arab emirates.
come to think of it, that backdrop looks a little like the one i saw in the last bin laden video.
i won't believe rove's above surface, in america, until i see him throwing out the 1st pitch at a washington nationals game...
Wait, I'm confused... I thought Rove was in Ukraine? Is he back in the U.S. now?
Pete @ 20:
Join the club, we've been waiting for you.
God, would I like to see that pasty fuck in a dog and pony show.
is oreilly telling the truth that his show is the highest rated? Where does KO stand?
O'Leilly is the highest rated CABLE talking head show. But you have to put that in perspective. At even 2 million viewers, it is less than one percent of the adult population in the US. Also, WWE Wrestling and Spongebob Squarepants regularly have more viewers than O'Leilly. Finally, his audience is mostly made up of the geriatric over age 60 set who, due to hearing loss, are probably more attracted by the shouting than the content of what is being said. So all the bragging about the factor being number one is just more FOX bluster.....to paraphrase David Letterman, about 60% of what O'Leilly says is crap......and that's because he speaks mostly out of his ass.
For the sake of not physically damaging my computer, I will not watch that clip!!
I blame our Congress Members for this kind of outragous bull shit from our government and media. These ass holes are simply flipping off our Congress and the American people who have really suffered under the control of these lunitics.
They don't need a dame majority to do the job they need to do with this slime ball bastard and yet they make up every escuse they can think of, instead of doing the dame job. Just last week the bitch was supposed to have left the country without their knowledge and on and on . I said then that it was a lie, that is now confirmed with the fat bastard all over Fox News. What do these people expect from us?
Our Congress needs to go the hell out and collect this nasty fat bastard and throw his ass under a jail. If the one they had does not exist, then make one up and lock the bitch up, until he talks the way he is told to talk.
This country has NO problem locking up people with lessor means, especially blacks and people of color. We watch this shit played out in this same disgusting media, each and every dame day. They distroy any black person especially with money, they feel he or she should never be privilaged to have and yet these evil, sleezy, rich white bastards are screwing the hell out of this entire country and then giving all of us the dame finger.
This is bull shit and all of them know it. Cindy Sheehan is running for Pelosi's office and we get two for one on that deal, because if she replaces Nancy, we get rid of the ass hole blue dog Hoyer, that is second in comand of her and we get to appoint a new majority leader that WILL, do the dame job.
We should be so dame tired of this kind of in your face crap.
hotmouth @ 106:
I can't say that I blame you
IT'S A LEGALLY BINDING SUBPOENA!
I
I don't give a shit if the Justice Department won't enforce the law.
All the Congressmen and women on the committee should go over to Rove's house and make a CITIZEN'S ARREST. Hell, even tiny Debbie Wasserman-Schultz could take down that puffy dough-boy in a fight!
For that matter, anyone who sees this fucker in public should make a citizen's arrest of him, and drag his punk ass into Congress to testify!
NO MAN SHOULD BE ABOVE THE LAW.
OH! Please,please,please, let me water board BILL'O and Rove(TURD BLOSSEM),Please, Just one time.
"The Factor Man didn’t seem to know anything about the case"
You can bet the house that O'Reilly does indeed know about the case. The reason he acted like he did is because he didn't want his viewers to know anything about the case. Otherwise they just might think that Rove is hiding something. O'Reilly is a right-wing tool.
Who in their right mind would want to go to trial after committing a serious crime? I mean, you have to go into the courtroom and have the prosecutor talk bad about you in front of a bunch of people. It's all really embarrassing. Then, on top of that you probably have to go to prison afterward. What a bummer. I would never want to do that.
What if all criminals thought that way? Anarchy. Nobody gives a shit whether you want to go. If you are subpoenaed you have to go, dumbass. At least, you would have to go under any other administration.
Maybe if any of the lame dems on the judicial committee sees the clip of Rover & O'Lielly basically mocking the system and them, it'll get their asses in gear to charge Rover with contempt and throw his sorry butt in jail where it belongs. Sigh. Well, it's a thought :(
Did turd blossom say Jim Russert?

History...
Just like Nixon, Raygun, Oillie North, Admiral Poindexter, Elliot Abrams, Papa Doc, Baby Doc, Bush the father, Kisinger...
History is such a tough little bitch of a taskmistriss...
We get fucked in the ass with no lube, no condom and this is what we get?
History will not be kind????
Water boarding is not kind, electrical wires tied to your nuts is not kind - This Fascist Pigs are living large as they laugh their way into heaven and wipe their ass with what is left of the constitution.
If they burned in hell my fear is that it might be too kind for them.
Well, Rove does have a point. It's not like the worthless Democrats would ever actually DO anything with his testimony.
He could confess to treason by the entire administration, and impeachment would still be "off the table."

Everyone knew it was a show. Let the dems pretend to be offended by KKKarl not showing up. Let the repigs pretend to be offended that the dems are offended.
What a fucking joke. Give it up, people. Your country is officially a fucking joke. Time to find another one or stand up for the one you have.
Haul Rove's butt in in handcuffs and leg irons if you have to, haul Cheney's butt in in handcuffs and leg irons if you have to, he may be the AG but haul Mukaseys butt in if you have to, if Bush tries to defend them...haul his butt in too, if Billo the Clown or Rush Hamburger or even Simple Sean H gets in the way don't even bother with a hearing....just send them to Gitmo or Abu Ghraib and see how they like waterboarding (oh, wait...its not torture...its persuasive reinforcement !!!!!!!!)
