Rove: Remembering E-mails Is Like Remembering ‘Raindrop In A Thunderstorm’

The Washington Post does us the favor of tallying the “I don’t recall”-s that saturate the hundreds of pages of Miers and Rove interview transcripts.

In 10 hours, Harriet Miers said she couldn’t remember events almost 150 times.

Asked if Miers ever responded to an October 2006 email from Rove with the subject line “Domenici is calling me about the USA for New Mexico”, Rove offered investigators this gem:

“I don’t recall. I generally receive hundreds of e-mails a day, and asking me to remember replies is like asking me to remember a raindrop in a thunderstorm.”
