Breaking news from the Washington Post: Former top White House official Karl Rove will be interviewed tomorrow as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into the firing of U.S. attorneys during the Bush administration, according to two sources familiar with the appointment. Rove has remained in the news as a commentator and political analyst since […]
Those are five words I swore I never would write. Now I have to eat crow and defend him against this: Karl Rove follows me on Twitter. That’s creepy. I joined Twitter a few months ago; so far, it has been a liberating way to transition from political to personal blogging. It’s allowed me to […]
Steve Schmidt, a former top advisor for the McCain Campaign, is going to urge the GOP to get behind gay marriage: “I’m confident American public opinion will continue to move on the question toward majority support, and sooner or later the Republican Party will catch up to it,” Schmidt plans to say according to excerpts […]
Didn’t expect this: Former White House political adviser Karl Rove and counsel Harriet Miers have agreed to face questions from Congress about allegations of improper political influence in the Justice Department, the House Judiciary Committee announced Wednesday.

Things look like they are going to get interesting next year: “The Bush administration overstepped in its exertion of executive privilege, and may very well try to continue to shield information from the American people after it leaves office,” said Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, who sits on two committees, Judiciary and Intelligence, […]

This morning Joe Scarborough was bitching about it saying that Emanuel was nothing but a partisan, pointing to his time chairing the DCCC. In comparison I guess Karl Rove was the epitome of partisanship?
This is amazing. Here is a picture of the line to vote yesterday in my home county of Butler County, Ohio. That line was over two hours long and it has prompted officials to open early voting today (Sunday). To give you an idea of Butler County, it’s population is around 350,000. There aren’t any […]
