Anyone who likes MJ is an idolater!

BRAAAWK!

:sarcasm:

[grasswire]

[Beetwasher]

4. Probably, But Irrelevant

Lying would still be a Federal crime, regardless.

3. Judging by the news, not sure it reflects a HOLY F_ _ _ K!

Sounds like it was pretty laid out. NYT calls it an "interview".

Rove Is Interviewed in Judiciary Panel Inquiry
By The New York Times
Karl Rove, the senior political adviser to President George W. Bush, was interviewed in a closed session on Tuesday by investigators for the House Judiciary Committee about his role in the dismissal of nine federal prosecutors in December 2006, a person briefed on the matter said on Tuesday.

Mr. Rove had long been expected to answer the committee’s questions under an agreement reached after nearly two years of legal wrangling over his testimony,

5. Sure It Does

Lying to investigators is a federal crime, oath or not.

[me b zola]

12. g w bush* called trashing environmental protections "clear skies"

Rove was deposed.

[Ms. Toad]

6. Does it surprise you, given what else was going on today?

After all - the 12th day of "All MJ All the Time" is far too important to interrupt for something minor like illegalities committed by our former "leaders."

[bleever]

7. K&R for every glimmer of hope

that justice will be done.

[Ellipsis]

9. Sent to the greatest... for the eye catching subject line.

oops posted in the wrong spot.


But.. Howdy anyway bleever.

:hi:

[bleever]

22. S'okay.

:hi:

ed: Adding this snip:

WHAT is it about La Follette that has made him such an enduring figure? It comes down to a single idea: America, La Follette argued throughout his political life, cannot live up to its ideals so long as militarism and corporate power warp our democracy.

8. Who cares....it will go nowhere. He was interviewing for a job with them..

and it took extra time. What else is new?

[jaysunb]

17. LOL !

:hi:

[pkdu]

10. I'm afraid it was two 3-minute question sessions interrupted by a

7-hour, 54 minute visit to the crapper

[progressoid]

11. Pretty easy to slip under the radar these days.

The press seems to preoccupied with some other stuff.

[timeforpeace]

13. These guys like this kind of stuff. What else is he gonna do, go have fun?

[Oilwellian]

14. Hmmmm

He certainly wasn't just "interviewed." Conyers has been working diligently for 2 years to get Rove under oath answering questions. And it appears this is the only "interview" the committee investigators will have with him. One would hope after two years of preparation time, the questions would be honed and in depth. I can't wait to hear the results...soon.

[burning rain]

15. Wow. I bet Debbie Wasserman-Schultz hauled him over the coals.

[aquart]

16. Did he sweat?

[earth mom]

19. Buckets, I hope.

:evilgrin:

[LoZoccolo]

18. He was deposed for 8 business hours. n/t

[JDPriestly]

20. Actually, that is not all that long.

I would have expected his deposition to last for days.

[troubledamerican]

21. Signing autographs for 7 out of 8 hours

[omega minimo]

23. now we're talkin'

Conyers would not comment on what Rove told congressional investigators, what the next step in the long-running Judiciary Committee investigation would be or whether Rove would face additional questioning.

“He was deposed today,” Conyers said in an interview. “That’s all I can tell you.”
