Now why do you suppose Robert Luskin went to the trouble of orchestrating a limited hang-out in the NYT and WaPo yesterday?

The WaPo reveals that they had an hour-long interview with Karl Rove earlier this month–at which he tried to spin his role in the US Attorney firings. Apparently, though, his spin was debunked by documents the WaPo received.

Saturday Night With Cotton-Eyed Joe Biden

Revolving doors discard ethics.

So we get transcripts and documents after the interviews are over. No one hold your breath.

Well, isn’t THIS interesting:

A federal prosecutor investigating the dismissal of nine U.S. attorneys during the Bush administration has issued a subpoena to former senator Pete V. Domenici (R-N.M.) and is preparing to interview key witnesses…

Mikey Isikoff (surprise!!!) has the exclusive (!!!) read of what Fred Fielding is now trying to assert for Rove: Executive privilege. For the first time. With no specific review of whether or not Rove’s actions–particularly as they relate to pursuing a witch hunt against Governor Siegelman and attempting to get Patrick Fitzgerald fired while investigating Bush’s orders to go after Joe Wilson–merit “executive privilege,” Fielding is now asserting executive privilege. And Isikoff is such a crack journalist, he doesn’t notice the change in stance!!!
Welcome to old ways in Washington DC!

Chairman Conyers isn’t all that satisfied with the outcome of the US Attorney investigation last Congress. So, he put a little present for Harriet Miers and Josh Bolten in the rules that just passed to make sure he can still get their testimony in this Congress.

And guess what? He included Karl Rove in there, too!

Eric Holder is a horrid choice to lead the Obama Department of Justice. But fear not, Karl Rove will be running and leading the GOP effort against Senate confirmation of the Eric Holder nomination

In 2008, America judges the consequences of Karl Rove’s actions. For the sake of the future, we can only hope that the young wannabee Rove’s out there carving “Bs” into their faces see that the laws of karma still prevail.
