Just for fun, I might start a Facebook group to give the Marcy Wheeler Pixie Dust Brigade a home. Membership requirement would be the donation of at least $15 to the Wheeler Support Campaign. Purchase of Disney “Pixie Dust Hits the Spot” lunch tote optional.

And to Rayne @18, yes, a netbook should fit just fine in the Pixie Dust lunch tote, along with the power supply cord and one or two accessories.

Not a chance. The laws, and penalties for breaking them, only apply to us “little people”. With a few exceptions (Siegelman, et al.).

that long deposition is very good news to me, contrary to republican belief, rove is not an intelect and not quick on his feet, he can only recite prepared statements and I do not believe he can withstand questioning under oath, especialy where those posing the questions have avenues to fact check

I really think this will lead to some very edifyind information

I’m just concerned that perjury, from Rove, would not bring any consequences. I seriously doubt that the WH and Holder would permit it to happen.

Available evidence suggests poorly. Rove would say anything to get it to stop and it’d get thrown out of court. Holder can tell you all about that over an alka seltzer some time.

I think the best technique for Rove is perfectly legal: A photo of a prison cell and the reminder that perjury can bring several years. Rove WILL NOT take that bullet for anyone, he’ll squeal like a pig.

From TMP, according to AP, “The agreement called for Rove to testify “under the penalty for perjury,” Conyers has said.”

So, what the hell does that mean? NOT under oath, would be my uneducated guess. So in this scenario, “testify” means what? Discussion, little chat, “I don’t recall”, or “kiss my ass”.
