		<description>&lt;p&gt;Yes, it is the ultimate hypocrisy for Rove to be lecturing to Democrats about how to play fair and be bipartisan (attack their strengths, right?).&lt;br /&gt;
Rove should name names–Democrats and Liebermans in his office pleading for mercy. Mercy!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Technically, in his answer Rove is stating what &lt;em&gt;we should change&lt;/em&gt; about American politics (that was the question posed him), and he says we should change “the sense that once an election is over, the election is over.” So his answer advocates for Partisan politics all the time–just like he practiced. But this hardly represents change, so maybe Rove really is Conservative. The rest of his answer is unrelated fluff about supposed Democrats.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now for my soapbox:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When will our Congress start supporting our troops? Nearly &lt;em&gt;ALL &lt;/em&gt;the Republicans have been willing to cut &amp; run from the hard-fought freedoms and life of liberty that our US troops (from 1700s through 1945) bequeathed to us and defended to the death for us. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ingrates!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yeah, I like the nickname Bueller for Bmaz too. How about it Bueller?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, okay then Roger Rocket!  Bye the way, how do you like your new appellation?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;this would be one show i would pay for a ticket to see.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but, since it will be on c-span, i won’t have to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i would just love to watch davis (alabama) and hank johnson (georgia) tag team rove. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;both are exceedingly sharp and persistent questioners, just the kind of lawyers you would want doing your depositions for you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i’m willing to bet they would turn the wicked warlock of west texas into a puddle of piss.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and then finally we would understand that not only is karl rove an incompetent presidential and political adviser, but he is simply a bullying, lying sociopath who loses his power and his poison when he has been hauled out from under his rock into the sunshine.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;No.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Senators are very deferential to their colleagues–it’s one of the membership rules of belonging to the most exclusive club in the country. Furthermore, there’d be no legal justification for doing so. Rove would be testifying, after all, the SJC would not be prosecuting Rove.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Wouldn’t someone on the SJC have enough backbone to “request” that Sessions recuse himself ?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Though one more thing: remember that the outstanding subpoena for Rove (which is not part of the suit for non-compliance) came from SJC. So Rove might be less willing to show up before SJC.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;No reason SJC can’t subpoena him themselves. They’ve largely ignored the Siegelman issue, of course. And in SJC there’s the whole neat detail that Jeff Sessions would presumably be running interference for Rove–the same Jeff Sessions named as one of the two other people who actually do have criminal involvement in the scheme in question.]&lt;/p&gt;</description>
