Can we put Rove in jail?
It seems like he's always in the background planning the next conspiracy.
What offenses has he committed that might be found out?
Does he actually have an official position in the government?
Can we try him for treason?

1. Rove Is Goebbels without a microphone.
Daddy Roveler taught him well.

3. His time will come and he will go to prison.
It's only a matter of when. He's been trained by Lee Atwater who was also the same kind of criminal. It's just with Rove, he covers all of his bases and hides the money though often forgets about the breadcrumbs......his friend Ralph Reed and Thomas Noe are giving him a headache now. :mad: :mad: :crazy:

5. I want to put Rove in an alternate universe wherein nobody returns his
phonecalls and he is a political nebbish for eternity. Something like the president of a Kiwanis club.

8. I would rather have him rendered insignificant and obscure.

That would be far more torturous to his ego than jail.

9. Bullmooseblog has a piece you might find interesting.
http://www.bullmooseblog.com/2005/06/what-did-rove-know.html

What Did Rove Know?

The Moose would like to know what did Rove know and when did he know it?

Old Karl Rove must be a little nostalgic this week with the Deep Throat revelation. After all, he cut his teeth on College Republican dirty tricks during the Watergate era. Maybe, he will get his own chance at a White House scandal.

The Moose asks if the White House had a role in the Abramoff/Scanlon/Delay/Reed/Norquist Indian gaming scandal? That is the question addressed in a must read piece by Lou Dubose in the Texas Observer appropriately titled, The Pimping of the President. Dubose writes,

"Four months after he took the oath of office in 2001, President George W. Bush was the attraction, and the White House the venue, for a fundraiser organized by the alleged perpetrator of the largest billing fraud in the history of corporate lobbying. In May 2001, Jack Abramoff's lobbying client book was worth $4.1 million in annual billing for the Greenberg Traurig law firm. He was a friend of Bush advisor Karl Rove. He was a Bush "Pioneer" delivering at least $100,000 in bundled contributions to the 2000 campaign. He had just concluded his work on the Bush Transition Team as an advisor to the Department of the Interior. He had sent his personal assistant Susan Ralston to the White House to work as Rove's personal assistant. He was a close friend, advisor, and high-dollar fundraiser for the most powerful man in Congress, Tom DeLay. Abramoff was so closely tied to the Bush Administration that he could, and did, charge two of his clients $25,000 for a White House lunch date and a meeting with the President. "

The article also maintains that the the Commissar of the Right, Norquist, sold access to the Oval Office,

12. Thanks for the link.
Not many degrees of separation between Rove and corruption then.

10. Rove is smoke - Bush is the Mirror
About throwing Rove in jail:

Remember all those bad TV shoes like "Starsky & Hutch?"
This will hit Fox TV in the fall as a remake of Dukes of Hazzard:

Smoke & Mirrors.

Haven't you seen the old Bela Lugosi Dracula films - he can drift through the bars like smoke.
