For those who want, finally, an answer to whether Karl Rove and others at the White House were behind the United States attorney scandal — and ordered federal prosecutors to bring and not bring cases to help Republicans win elections — next Tuesday could be an interesting day.
The House Judiciary Committee has scheduled a hearing for Oct. 23 on selective prosecution.
The committee is expected to take a hard look at the prosecution of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, a Democrat, who may have been prosecuted primarily to keep him from running against the state’s incumbent Republican governor, Bob Riley.
Mr. Siegelman is serving more than seven years in prison on charges that seem to have been greatly overblown by federal prosecutors.
The committee has already conducted a lengthy interview with Dana Jill Simpson, the Republican lawyer from Alabama who says she was on a phone call in which a plot to take out Mr. Siegelman was openly discussed.

“Mr. Siegelman is serving more than seven years in prison on charges that seem to have been greatly overblown by federal prosecutors.”
The man has been convicted by a jury of his peers and sentenced to more than 7 years in jail by a federal judge, and the NYT says that the charges were “overblown by federal prosecutors?” Give me a break. Prosecutors just prosecute the case. It’s the jury that decides guilt.
The NY Times is surprised that the government would dare investigate *any* Democrat.
Siegelman went down initially over fixing traffic tickets for his “friends” of all stripes, then was caught up in the NY Times’ own trashing of HealthSouth’s Richard Scrushy (who was convicted of bribing Siegelman just as Siegelman was convicted of taking the bribes).
This is one of those cases where the NY Times’ own anti-Alabama zeal triggered the very thing that they are pretending to decry: the downfall of a powerful Democrat (though inadvertent).
But it had nothing to do with Karl Rove, and the one felon who claims otherwise is a laughingstock in this state...
...yet that’s what the NY Times and the Turkey-genocide-war Democrats are hanging their hats on this week.
(next week, they’ll fabricate some new “scandal” as they squirm to keep the Public from seeing that they have accomplished nothing in Office and have no new ideas worthy of public consuption)
Keep in mind, also, that the NYT apparently had no trouble with Ronnie Earle going after Tom DeLay, even after Earle declared a year in advance that he would “get” DeLay.
Prosecutors decide just how selectively the law is enforced.
He is out to get the NY Times for the slanted way they have covered the Bush administration.
Pssst...pass it on.

Somebody should tell the NY Times that they are way behind on the news when it comes to Rove (and everything else for that matter).
Karl Rove has moved on since leaving the WH and his latest project is killing the NY Times. Murdoch is fronting it but it is Rove who is presently killing them.
Well they like conspiracies so this one will do quite well...in a Pinch.

If any of them are your reps, particularly the Republicans, get on their case and make sure that they do this right. Call Ronny Earl and demand that he explain his obvious and blatantly partisan attacks on Kaye Bailey Hutchinson and Tom DeLay. Subpoena Fitzgerald and grill him about the bogus persecution of Libby. There are hundreds of other examples of corrupt Dhimmicrat prosecutors going after their political opponents, starting with scumbags like Elliot Spitzer.
This one goes in my over-filled “Is That All You Got?” file.
Well, the nyt has been actively involved in conspiracies to subvert presidential elections, leak classified information , undermine the war effort and aid and abet our enemies. So for them to believe someone else does it too...
