In an hour-long interview with Thom Hartmann of Air America Radio, former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman pounded hard on what he sees as the three main issues raised by his case: the involvement of Karl Rove in the politicization of the Department of Justice, the apparent theft of the 2002 election in which he was defeated by Bob Riley, and money-laundering by Jack Abramoff and his associates.

"Rove's fingerprints, from start to finish are on this case," Siegelman told Hartmann, continuing a line of argument he began in an interview last week with Robert Kennedy, Jr. "It's been a very expensive and costly ordeal for me and my family and, you know, we're not whining. If serving nine months in prison and spending every dollar I've got will lead to ... the exposure of Karl Rove's involvement, it will be worth every day in prison and every penny I've spent."

3. I wish I had some money to give him

I have an enormous amount of respect for Don Siegelman for having the kajones to stand up and fight this one out. In time this could and prolly will be seen as a very pivotal development in our quest to save our democracy from this band of crooks.

4. This man is going to end up being a Hero

I agree to have any justice Rove must go jail

[trof]

5. Siegelman now classified as a "Special Offender".

His probation officer just informed him.
Now he must get prior approval for travel outside of Birmingham.
Lots of red tape and delay.
They're really putting it to this guy.

Interview with Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman

I interviewed former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman for an hour Tuesday in the second hour of my radio program on Air America. These are blockbuster allegations of election fraud against Rove and the Bush Justice Department that go way beyond what he said on CBS's 60 Minutes last month.

Listen to the full audio ........

Thom Hartmann: Joe Wilson, the husband of Valerie Plame, the former US ambassador once issued, once laid out a sentiment that I think many of us share: "At the end of the day, it's of keen interest to me to see whether or not we can get Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs. And trust me, when I use that name, I measure my words."

In other words, he knew something was up. He knew something was up. And the evidence is mounting. Don Siegelman is with us. Donald Eugene Siegelman, he was the only person in the history of Alabama to be elected to serve in all four of Alabama's top state wide elected offices; Secretary of State, Attorney General, Lieutenant Governor and Governor. And Don Siegelman, welcome to the program.

Don Siegelman: I'm glad to be with you, Thom, thank you. ...........
