Conyers: 'We're closing in on Rove'
Politico ^ | 5-15-08 | Ryan Grim

Posted on 05/15/2008 10:57:21 AM PDT by kingattax

Just off the House floor today, the Crypt overheard House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers tell two other people: “We’re closing in on Rove. Someone’s got to kick his ass.”

Asked a few minutes later for a more official explanation, Conyers told us that Rove has a week to appear before his committee. If he doesn’t, said Conyers, “We’ll do what any self-respecting committee would do. We’d hold him in contempt. Either that or go and have him arrested.”

Conyers said the committee wants Rove to testify about his role in the imprisonment of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, among other things.

“We want him for so many things, it’s hard to keep track,” Conyers said

If anyone should be arrested it is the antediluvian jive turkey from Detroit.

You want him for kicking YOUR ass. I expectthat Rove knows some inside dope about Conyers. mr Rove should wait till he was before the committee, and when he was questioned, reply with that information, and keep pouring it on.....

Thanks for being a great American, John. Get that Rove guy!

And quit laying off of Cheney! Get him, too!!!

And Chimpy McBushHitler - you're going to miss him if you don't hurry up and get him indicted at the Hague. You can't live with yourself if you don's secure that indictment for war crimes.

And get Bush's daughters, too! They're both over 18.

Meanwhile, the American People are taking it in the shorts with increasing daily gas prices because the Democrats will not allow ANWAR while this POS thug gets his pound of flesh. Disgusting.

“We’re closing in on Rove. Someone’s got to kick his ass.”

Kind of says it all.

I am glad Conyers is not making any judgements before they have all the facts.....nothing like an impartial investiagation. It is funny that Democrats are everything that they accuse the GOP of being.

Is this another anti-American offspring of Adolph? Like most other Democrats they are traitors who support terrorist enemies of the American People. And racist.

I would give anything to hear Rove get in front of that committee and tell them off. Says what needs to be said and blast the Dems for their lies and dirty tricks. Not to mention the power grabs. I bet contributions to the GOP would skyrocket overnight. I would even send a check. I seriously doubt it would happen though.
