Wilson only won by a few hundred votes and a prolonged count of both absentee and provisional ballots, and believe me, it takes a close election before they even BOTHER to count absentee ballots, let alone the provisionals.

Throughout the campaign, her line was that, as a graduate of the military academy, she did not "lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do." Indeed, she's well known for misleading weasel wording and partial truths, to obscure how frequently she lies and cheats and covers for those of her party who do.

Too bad this kind of thing ONLY and ALWAYS comes out after all the votes have all been cast and counted.

Two more Republican political types ready for indictments . . . Oops . . . There is no U.S. Attorney available willing to investigate the case . . . I guess they get a pass.

Where is the independant Congressional ethics review process I was promised for my vote five months ago?

From members of the Republican Party??? This is such a shock! Wilson and Domenici clearly need help. They should both check themselves into the Betty Ford Center at their earliest possible convenience.

Alberto Gonzales testified before Congress (under oath, no less) that these firings weren't political. That puts him in kind of an awkward position if it turns out he wasn't telling the truth, doesn't it?

I'm guessing they're spending more time figuring out which laws they didn't break. They could issue a blanket denial at the drop of a hat, something tells me that blowing off any interest in the issue isn't going to fly into the weekend news cycle.

Another reply touches on this -- but -- I suspect something much more sinister.

In Texas, Karl Rove worked with a "rogue" FBI agent who would start an investigation against a Democratic candidate just prior to an election, thereby forcing the Democrat to deal with the investigation and neglect his campaign. In every case, the "investigation" was dropped after the election.

Has anyone else noticed that two of the federal attorneys who were fired were in New Mexico and Arkansas? And the one in Arkansas was replaced with Karl Rove's former chief of staff?

Two Democratic presidential candidates are involved here -- Bill Richardson from NM, Senator Clinton from Arkansas.

I'm betting that sometime later this year "investigations" will be opened into Richardson and Clinton that will serve to distract them from their campaigns and that will give the Republican lie machine a lot of ammunition to accuse two Democratic candidates of criminal activity.

Vintage Rove.
