It is time for Rove to be taken down, but Bloch is not the one who will star in “Taming of the Shrewd.”

Rove Investigator Himself Under Investigation
By Jason Leopold
t r u t h o u t | Report
Tuesday 24 April 2007

The problem is whether Bush appointee Scott J. Bloch, who heads the Office of Special Counsel,
will conduct a real investigation, or a white-wash.

I haven’t read all the way through the comments, so this is something of a drive-by, but I did check the thread and no one has mentioned Leopold yet.

Sorry, gotta run; will check back later.

Snarkassandra,

Bill Maher is sort of a contrarian. He likes to take unpopular stances for the sake of arguing in lots of instances.

He falls into the libertarian left on some issues. Moderate Republican on others. Always very secular on religious matters.

But he is witty even though he doesn’t seem to do a lot of research on topics he discusses.

I still do enjoy him.

-GSD

Why is he allowed to swear on TV?

His show is on HBO, a premium cable channel. They can say whatever the heck they want.

-GSD

This is the Internet. You can say frick. Maher is funny sometimes like Russert is evocative sometimes.
Actually, if you reverse the two, … nevermind/
