The current target:  Karl Rove.

"Turdblossom" Loves "W"

Rove has been asked by the House Judiciary Committee to testify about his involvement in the Justice Department’s prosecution and imprisonment of former Alabama Governor Don Siegleman.  As Rove has so far refused to testify voluntarily, members of Congress have started sending signals that they are prepared to go to the mat over this.

Yesterday, Rep. Robert Wexler sent out a strongly worded E-mail advocating the use of “inherent contempt” against Rove, which would allow the House Sergeant-of-Arms to forcibly bring Rove to the House to testify.

Also yesterday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers alluded to the use of inherent contempt.  "We'll do what any self-respecting committee would do,” Conyers said. “We'd hold him in contempt. Either that or go and have him arrested."

(And if you haven't already heard, Conyers spoke to a colleague a little too loudly and was overheard by reporters to say, "We’re closing in on Rove. Someone’s got to kick his ass.")

It is time for all of us to let our representatives know that we support this forceful action.  That is why I just sent an E-mail to my representative through the American Freedom Campaign Web site.  I hope that you will join me. To do so, just click this link to send your own.

Together, we can restore balance in our system of checks and balances.

Thanks for taking action, and for helping preserve the Constitution from the men who swore to preserve it, and lied.
