Sheldon Whitehouse Statement on Karl Rove's Resignation

Monday, August 13, 2007

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) released the following statement today on the resignation of Karl Rove:

“Karl Rove leaves behind an administration whose relentless pursuit of partisan political gain, at the expense of the principles of justice, our nation’s security, and the rule of law, have seriously damaged our credibility at home and around the world. Americans still have significant questions about Mr. Rove’s role in the firing of several U.S. attorneys and decisions related to national security, and I trust the Senate will continue to push for answers to those questions.”

1. Ya know, I REALLY like Sheldon Whitehouse. I like the way he handles himself, I like the way he

asks questions in committee.

While Linc Chaffee was probably the best Republican of a very bad lot in the Senate, RI has gotta be very pleased with the fellow they chose to replace him.

2. I think Whitehouse is soooooooooo great!

I am really impressed with the man ~~ bright, well-prepared, handles himself well, questions well, and does NOT pontificate or go looking for a sound bite.
