Rove Warns of 'Show Trial,' Says Dems 'Would Love to Have Me Barbecued'

Karl Rove tells FOX News he is looking forward to telling the House Judiciary Committee about his alleged role in the firing of federal prosecutors and the prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman.

Although he says it could turn into a "show trial," Karl Rove tells FOX News he is looking forward to telling the House Judiciary Committee about his alleged role in the firing of federal prosecutors and the prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman.

Until now, Rove had been shielded from testifying by his former boss, President George W. Bush, who had asserted executive privilege on Rove's behalf. But on Monday, lawyers for Bush and President Obama reached a deal that will allow Rove to be deposed by the Judiciary Committee, which is chaired by Rep. John Conyers, Michigan Democrat

"We're closing in on Rove," Conyers was overheard saying by two people just off the House floor last year. "Someone's got to kick his ass."

Rove acknowledges that Conyers probably has more interest in him than in two other former Bush aides entangled in the case, White House Counsel Harriet Miers and Chief of Staff Josh Bolten.

"I understand they may be the hors d'oeuvres, but I'm the main course," said Rove, who was Bush's top political adviser in the White House. "Some Democrats would love to have me barbecued."

during that deposition. And I'm sure he's already had some Bushite lawyer write him up a memo that will excuse his perjury through some kind of made-up, get-away-with-murder-free legalese.

IN PRISON

What I long for is to see Turdblossom living out the rest of his days behind bars, unsuccessfully fighting off rapists in the shower.

Davis was born in Montgomery, Alabama, and was raised by his mother and grandmother. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University in 1990 and received his J.D. cum laude from Harvard Law School before returning to Alabama. He was the recipient of the Best Oralist Award in the esteemed Ames Moot Court Competition at Harvard Law School.
After working as an intern at the Southern Poverty Law Center and then as a civil rights lawyer, he served as an assistant United States Attorney.
In 2000, he ran for the House in the Democratic primary against 10-year incumbent Earl F. Hilliard. He criticized Hilliard for taking a trip to Libya in 1997 despite U.S. sanctions, but despite vigorous campaigning, Davis lost the 2000 election 58%-34%. Davis ran again in 2002 and was elected.

He and Obama are cut from the same intellectual cloth. And it doesn't hurt that he's running for Gov. of Alabama...he'll want to shine even more.

Go for it Arthur !

... and be on the hook or lie and be on the hook for perjury. Seigleman will
get his pound of flash from Rove through civil court.

the 11th Circuit has yet to decide on his appeal. Siegleman would like more than a pound of flesh from Rove, he would like the truth and the conviction tossed.

I used to live in his district and I remember his campaign against Hilliard. He's quite DLC.

I would love to see Davis strip the bark off Rove, but I'm not holding my breath.

A sentiment shared by pigs the world over.

I don't want him barbecued. Canned into Alpo chunks dinner maybe ... for pitbulls.

Can you imagine the paperwork? Environmental impact statement, finding of no significant impact, hiring of experts, hearing, and on and on. Better to just toss him in the clink.

The old cliche about staying out of the kitchen if you can't take the heat comes to mind.
:rofl:

Just a personal preference I guess. :evilgrin:

fried has so many connetations to read into it.

Like HE'S the important equation here. A meat grinder is too good for him.

Forget the lawyers ruined and the terrible thought process that thinks the Justice Dept. is for whomever is in power at the time. Forget all that anti-constitutional, un-american stuff...

It's all about KARL. They want HIM.... justice be damned.

Uh huh. Riiiiight.

Once again, the Kinsey Sicks' mellow harmonies come to mind:

"I want to be
In the GOP
'Cause it's all about
ME ME ME!"

Or a verse from the "Anything Goes" hit "You're the Top"

You're the top!
You're a dance in Bali.
You're the top!
You're a hot tamale.
You're an angel, you,
Simply too, too, too diveen,
You're a Botticelli,
You're Keats,
You're Shelly!

You're Ovaltine!

You're a boom,
You're the dam at Boulder,
You're the moon,
Over Mae West's shoulder,
I'm the nominee of the G.O.P.

Or GOP!

But if, baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top!

(See, they understood in the 1930's, we will also today)

Hung, drawn, and quartered is what I want.

sounds good to me!

and done live on National TV and have a lottery to raise money for the US Treasury, but only let those who voted for Gore AND Kerry to be eligible to play!

:puke:

I'd rather eat chocolate covered dog doo.

Which is better than losing lunch, I suppose...

I'm confident that a fair trial will still produce the desired result.

And yeah, I'd love to see you roasted, traitor.

But he's not the only dangerous one.

John Yoo is another. Rumsfeld is another. Cheney is another.
Bush is another. Bush Sr. is another.

"Show trials" is what you'd expect Rove to say, and if the Congress
and the people of America let this guy off, well, it's over.

We're just peaceful, law-abiding citizens who want to see all felons jailed.
You're just one of them, although if your cellmate happens to be a 275 pound
ax-murderer named Billy-Bob who has an IQ of 86 and likes boys, well that
wouldn't break our heart either.

it's called justice you treasonous shit bag fascist.

Some said the Nuremberg Trials were "show trials" too.

Get ready for jail you fat-fuck!

But roasting would not be sufficient.

That would cause too much air pollution.

besides, he's more like a rat or weasel than a pig, despite the enormous back end. Rodents and vermin are lousy even with BBQ sauce.

in the world good enough to cover that stink.

I'm content with a long jail sentence.

Then we wouldn't lose our appetites!

It's quicker :evilgrin:
