BRAD BLOG | Palast Exclusive: The Tears of a Clone
Conyers Closes in on Karl and his Rove-bots...

*** Special to The BRAD BLOG by Greg Palast

Boo-hoo! I made Tim Griffin cry.


He cried. Then he lied.

You remember Tim. Karl Rove's right hand (right claw?) man. The GOP's ragin' cagin' man.

Griffin is the Rove-bot exposed by our BBC Newsnight investigations team as the man who gathered and sent out the infamous 'caging' lists to Republican state chairmen during the 2004 election.

Caging lists, BBC discovered, were used secretly as a basis to challenge the right to vote of thousands of citizens - including the homeless, students and soldiers sent overseas. The day after BBC broadcast that the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, John Conyers, sought our evidence on Griffin, Tim resigned his post as US Attorney for Arkansas. That job was a little gift from Karl Rove who made room for his man Griffin by demanding the firing of US prosecutor Bud Cummins.

Last week, our cameras captured Griffin, all teary-eyed, in his humiliating kiss-off speech delivered in Little Rock at the University of Arkansas where he moaned that, "public service isn't worth it..."

13. And Sampson Makes Three...
Yup. Sampson matches the set perfectly. As he didn't come into play in this particular story, unfortunately, I didn't have the cause to include him in the "separated at birth" graphic I used with the article.

4. Man, these guys all stood in the "pasty-faced" line, didn't they?
And they were amply gifted there. Ugly, doughy, maybe charter members of the "Revenge of the Nerds" club. Yuck. What a bunch. They're as unsavory on the outside as they are on the inside.

Why are there Soooooo many republicon chickenhawks?

Why do the republicons love these military wimp-out weenies? Is it because there are sooooo many republicon chickenhawk war profiteers?
