Can someone please make this clown go away?

United Soviet States of America.
Blackout bad news?
What a country.

Karl, speaking from the friendly confines of Fox, the Weekly World News of broadcasting, protests.
The architect's winged victory disintegrated in flight, his sweet dreams of flying machines in pieces on the ground.
Doesn't stop him from stinking up the place some more anyway.

Let's all shed a tear for poor Karl "Atwater" Rove.

OTOH, it's also possible that Simpson is playing a game on Rove and Co.s behalf. I used to think Simpson was mucking up the whole case by kinda lying and kinda telling the truth and nothing more than a tar baby for sucker Dems. However, I've slowly come around to believing that she's on the up and up but just stuck with a fairly weak story. Her tale is a little strange but the context--the only woman in a very small Republican men's club, not terribly ambitious, always around to do some dirty work--makes it seem plausible. Regardless, I wouldn't hang everything on Simpson's tale. I suspect Rove and Co. are pretty happy everyone is focusing on her and not the dogs that haven't barked--like, say, the Abramoff money that poured into AL. I do think Martin and Canary are corrupt and it's worth pointing out over and over again that they have neither justified their actions nor released the relevant paperwork.

There are few things in life that I would enjoy more than giving Karl Rove a swift kick to the balls.

It amounted to a complete denial that he ever knew Dana Jill Simpson... and that she ever worked on any campaign with which he was involved. "I never asked her to do a darn thing," he said.

It seems like that should be the kind of thing which could be factually checked.

Surely there would be some evidence, or some witnesses, which could corroborate the idea of Rove's involvement on the same campaign as Simpson?

Lies are solid gold if told on Fixed Noise by Uncle Karl, who right now still wears the "I'm GWB's a-hole buddy" cloak of invulnerability.

But...if the lid really blows off the Seigelman scandal, all bets on Rove's invulnerability might be off. Political prosecution by DoJ & 7 yrs. subsequent jail time all @ Rove's behest smacks too much of the gulag to be tolerated in an election year.

RE: pollenmail:"Her tale is a little strange but the context--the only woman in a very small Republican men's club, not terribly ambitious, always around to do some dirty work--makes it seem plausible."

WOW!! With believers like you, who needs Karl as an enemy. Such compliments, plus:
"I used to think Simpson was mucking up the whole case by kinda lying and kinda telling the truth and nothing more than a tar baby for sucker Dems.", are you practicing to be the next TURDBLOSSOM? Couldn't think of a synonym for "tar baby"? Not too sharp a mind there that you have.

To be sure you understand, I am laughing at you, like you deserve to be laughed at with such enlightening thoughts. ROFLMAO

A small point: he said CBS is the Enquirer of network news, not "60 minutes." Now, if you'll excuse me, after helping set the record straight for Karl Rove, I need to shower.

If it's a lie, sue CBS and let's get this issue into a legal arean.

CBS could sue Rove for SLANDERING THEIR GOOD NAME!

If the brakes on Dana Jill Simpson's car aren't already bad, they soon will be. She's a courageous woman and Karl Rove is a filthy pimp from Hell.

So let's see; the choice is between a man who had to testify 5 times to the grand jury to avoid being indicted on obstruction of justice charges himself and who is now a talking head on that bastion on fair reporting, Fox News, the man who did the McCain South Carolina takedown. the man who has "THE math," turd blossom himself. Or Dana Jill Simpson.

Hey, call me crazy, but my money is on Simpson.

Dan Abrams just had Seigelman's lawyer and Dana Jill Simpson on his show. My God, she must have the goods on Rove et al!!! She might come off as looking a bit strange, but she knows her stuff!!

Uncle K-K-Karl - you've got a problem and so does the Alabama GOP.

Listen carefully to Rove's statement. Here's what he denies:

"She's never worked on a campaign in Alabama." Did Simpson say that she did? (I didn't watch the 60 minutes piece, so I don't know.) Or is this a flourish that Rove added so that he could imply (without stating!) that she was lying about being a "Republican operative"? My guess is the latter, since he said it twice.

"She never worked with me." Did she say she did? Just because she didn't "work with" Rove doesn't mean she didn't do his bidding at her boss' request.

"I have never asked this woman to do anything." No, he didn't; he asked her boss.

What did Rove not deny? He didn't deny that there was a campaign underway to politically take down Siegelman. He didn't deny the Justice Department followed his marching orders. He didn't deny that this woman was told to catch Siegelman in compromising positions. In short, he didn't deny any of the allegations against him; he just made it sound like he did, and then called (and implied) Simpson a liar.

Am I paranoid to think that Karl Rove went over Siegelman's statements to 60 minutes in detail, and then planned how to deny it without actually denying it? Probably. Is that unreasonable when we're talking about Karl Rove? You decide.

Why am I not surprised that Abramhoff and Rove are involved is what I meant to say.

Oh, I'll bet 60 Minutes will give Karl a chance to go before the camera at some point not too far down the pike. I'll bet we'll hear the details of the "off the record" conversation of 5 months ago, too.
Karl is soooo much slicker than his minions while he aw shucks his way through the pile of crap spewing from his lips.
Like all the rest of his cronies, he'll get away with it. He's sure of that. He's accustomed to it.

Let's see.

Jill Simpson is a Republican attorney who does opposition research for the Alabama Republicans, and she has testified under oath to Congressional investigators prior to her testimony - on camera - to CBS News.

Karl Rove is the man who called the FBI in to locate a bug that he claimed Texas Democrats had planted in his office. The FBI found the bug, but it had a very short battery life, and the only person who was in position to plant it during the time it was "live" was - Karl rove himself. He now appears on FOX ~NEWS~ the home of the Liars and claims that Jill Simpson is lying.

Who to believe? Who to believe? Oh, What a quandary?

----------
Also, if Karl is implying that CBS News is airing inaccurate reports when he says they are the "Inquirer" of News, perhaps he does not realize that he just complimented CBS for its accuracy.

After the Inquirer lost a high-profile Libel suit to the comedienne Carol Burnett some three decades or so ago, they put an extremely rigorous validation process and legal team into place so that they have never again been shown to have printed something that was false. It may be sensationalized, that is their judgment on what is important may be questionable, but when they do print it you can take it to the bank as accurate. So Karl was actually complimenting CBS on their accuracy.

Somehow I really doubt that Uncle Karl is going to dare to sue CBS for Libel.

If Mr. Rove wants everyone to be certain that this story is a lie, then why did he refuse to testify to Congress about this matter? If you have the balls to ignore a Congessional subpoena, you can't complain about bad press!
