16. I sincerely hope you are right ...
...there are similarities ....

I thought the Nixon administration was BAD, I think Chimpy and the evil cabal are EVIL INCARNATE ... So, I guess I'm afraid to hope for anything resembling justice.

4. you can accomplish a lot from jail . . .
just ask any of the Sopranos . . .

Bush would be lost without Rove, and will find ways to consult with him no matter where he is . . . the go-between will probably be Karen Hughes . . .

5. Unless...
... Rove is somehow isolated from BushCo and in jail, then I can't really see how he can be properly shut down. Firing him won't it. He could still pull the strings.

6. Well, if you believe someone was feeding B** answers through
the listening device (i.e. debates, press conferences) then he won't be able to do that. When Rover is in jail, we will be able to see if B** tone of speaking changes -- that will mean that the replacement is in...

7. OK...
... I agree with you there. Rove would not be able to do the direct hands-on stuff. But he still would be able to continue to direct the BushCo reign of terror.

8. I agree - Who do you think is the closest to Rove besides Cheney?
I mean to pick up the slack if Rove goes to jail?

10. you can do a lot with a phone
just look at how quite clinton kept his relationship with Morris during his first term. No one besides Bill and Hill knew about it for a long while. Bush can easily keep that sort of thing really quite.

13. He wouldn't have much access to a phone

in jail.

I think most reporters would be a little leary of taking a collect call from the slammer (at about $4/minute) with a beep every 15 seconds and a voice saying "This call is being made from a correctional facility and may be recorded."

Yep, the slammer would take care of turd blossom.

17. who said he is going to jail!
this will at worst, I predict, cause Rove's termination at the white house but the leak isn't serious enough to cause Rove to go to jail. Don't forget Plame was a well known name in Washington circles (I can attest to that) and this so called secret wasn't that bad. But to admit, yes it would be difficult for Rove to speak to Bush while getting pounded by "Big Rufus"!
