Isn't that interesting. Here's a wild eyed theory- what if The US Attorney firings was something like a play for pay deal- Rove might have done it for anyone who could pay the freight...

I know it's not directly related to this story but I am sick and tired of hearing about JUST Barack Obama and Blageovich being having this Rezko guy fundraise for them.

Ex-Governor Jim Edgar and our very own President, George W. Bush ALSO had Rezko fundraise for them.

In fact, Bush got the most money out of all of them.

Funny, but this info registers with me like proof that Obama is not closeley associated with Rezko.

He might have thought that Rove would help them, but with Fitzgerald already tapped to investigate the Plame case, there is no way in hell that Rove ever returned that call. I'm sure he told them to never bring up the idea again.

Rove is a criminal, but I'd be very suprised if he was stupid enough to even entertain going after Fitzgerald.

A: I predict that neither one of them will go after any of them. We'll hear, "We should move forward and not stay mired in the past."

Rove acts like he does because here in Texas, that sort of thing is standard operating procedure. This is how these Bush people can think a Monica Goodling, an opposition researcher, has the authority to fire Justice attorneys. The Texas Republican party is its own little totalitarian regime. Here's the thing: Rove is an opposition researcher. He uses the White House to continue his opposition research activities, and his staff status grants him access to new channels of info and influence. It's like what Hannah Arendt said about totalitarian style: if you don't like the law that obstructs you, you ignore, decriminalize, or re-write the law. This is why it is so important for them to get immunity for AT&T others in the NSA data mining: so it can be used for enhanced oppo.

And he (Rove) is very certain that he didn't take any steps to do that, or have any conversations with anyone in the White House -- or in the Justice Department -- about doing anything like that.''

"Very certain" = not positive
"Any steps" = a jog (which he never does)
"Any conversations" = but did send emails
"Like that" = I'm not talking about 'that', just things 'like that'.

If Rove is slippery enough to get by with parsing words, his ability to make money at universities and respected circles will be compromised. He's been heckled at public speeches. Imagine his shame if he's got any. I hope he has tons of money to keep Luskin on his payroll.

Sometimes its worse than a prison sentence. Look at former Atty Gen. Gonzales. His income is suffering from being ignored.

Sometimes shame is worse than an indictment.

Kjellander known here in Illinois as KJ, is a very sleazy operative that has been around since his College Republican days back in the early 70's. He has been associated with every Republican Governor the state has had since then. He was a campaign manager for Big Jim Thompson, did fund raising for Jim Edgar and was up to his ears in the Ryan fiasco. Just before he took his current job at the RNC he did a short stint in the Ryan administration. He was there just long enough to be in charge of a large state investment fund, which he passed on to a buddies investment firm and took a cozy couple of million dollars in fee's. He and Rove go way back to CR days and are cut from the same cloth. Never worked a day in their life just fed off of other peoples power.
