In 1998, Don Siegelman, newly elected governor of Alabama, was a man to watch on the national political scene—a charismatic Democrat able to win elections in the heart of the South. His misfortune was to be a winner in the adopted home state of Karl Rove. Starting as soon as he was elected, Siegelman says, Rove used his power, and the United States Justice Department, to engineer a series of investigations designed to ruin the governor’s career.

1. Why wouldn't Rove be up on *criminal* charges, rather than just a hearing

in front of the judicial committee? It seems to me there would be some actionable criminal charges available for this subversion of the justice system.

3. Karl 'Carpetbagger' Rove

Just like the scumbag republicans that went South after the Civil War.
