Karl Rove refuses to comply with a congressional subpoena, calling it "ludicrous" – but he's taking "booking requests" through his website. Let's book him to appear before the House Judiciary committee.

::::::::

From CC --Pop quiz: How can you get Karl Rove to show up and answer questions about his role in the politicization of the Justice Department?

1) Issue a congressional subpoena compelling him to testify
2) Hire him as an analyst for your "fair and balanced" cable news network
3) Book an appearance through his website, rove.com

We already know that #1 doesn't work. Rove refused to appear before the House Judiciary Committee, despite a subpoena.

#2 could work – he recently appeared on Fox News to answer questions from Sean Hannity. (Fox News transcript, July 31, 2008). But unfortunately, we don't own a cable network.

So let's try #3! Karl Rove's website says you can book him for an event to talk about "public issues and controversies." We have some questions that fit that bill.

Sign on to Common Cause's "booking request" to Karl Rove.
