Maybe I’m a hardass, but it doesn’t mean much to me that a criminal will be "tormented for the rest of his life" by his crimes (or at least by the fact that he got caught). He can just endure that same torment in a cell.
Apparently, this is just breaking. Karl Rove has been indicted on charges of perjury and lying to investigators.
Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald spent more than half a day Friday at the offices of Patton Boggs, the law firm representing Karl Rove.
During the course of that meeting, Fitzgerald served attorneys for former Deputy White House Chief of […]
Becky, over at Preemptive Karma, makes an interesting observation about Ken Lay’s courthouse steps declaration that "God has blessed me and my family enormously."
Funny how many crooks invoke God when their honesty is being questioned. And funny how they seem to overlook the obvious conclusion that the God who is "blessing" them somehow forgot to […]
I haven’t said much yet about the whole Cheney shooting incident. After all, there are plenty of people working ovetime to flog that one for all it’s worth. (And well they should.) I have my own questions. Was Cheney drinking? It’s well known the man has heart problems (possibly a lack of one). Was he […]
Update: Delay has given up his leadership position.
I somehow missed the Post’s style column on Jack Abramoff until the hubby pointed it out to me yesterday. (When you follow a few hundred blog and news feeds every day, stuff slips by.) And while I enjoyed the skewering of Abramoff’s fashion choices, it was this […]
I haven’t been following this whole Abramoff thing to closely, but I remember someone saying that if the truth every really came out Capitol Hill would “look like a bomb went off.” Bodies everywhere.
Well, boom.
Jack Abramoff, the Republican lobbyist under criminal investigation, has been discussing with prosecutors a deal that would grant him […]
Nothing yet, but the Washington Post reports that White House aides are bracing themselves.
Also, not to rain on anyone’s parade, but TalkLeft has posted an interesting scenario in which Rove could slip the noose.
I’m beginning to think it possible that Karl Rove either is not going to be charged in the Valerie Plame Leak investigation, […]
Washington Note says the other shoes are dropping.
An uber-insider source has just reported the following to TWN (since confirmed by another independent source):
1. 1-5 indictments are being issued. The source feels that it will be towards the higher end.
2. The targets of indictment have already received their letters.
3. The indictments will be sealed indictments and […]
I’d have posted about this last night, but after hearing of the death of Rosa Parks, decided to shut down for the night and leave the post about her death at the top of the blog for the night. Of course, last night it broke all over the blogs that Libby learned of Plame’s identity […]
Today might be the day. When it happens, I’m sure it’ll be all over the internet. In the meantime, we have the arrest warrant!
Pretty, ain’t it?

OK. I know it’s wrong to take pleasure in others’ misfortunes, but news of the arrest warrant issued for DeLay just makes me feel all warm and toasty inside.
Today a Texas court issued a warrant for former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay’s arrest, and set an initial $10,000 bail as a routine step before his […]
Chris makes an interesting point, after noting recent headlines.
When’s the last time that the Majority Leaders of both chambers of Congress were under indictment? Ever? Add in the VP, and I’m certain this would be a first.
With DeLay indicted, Frist facing an SEC subpoena, and the Cheney said to […]
With rumors still swirling about pending indictments coming down in the Plame case this week, it looks like there may be something to it if the latest development is any indication. Karl Rove has agreed to testify again, but with no guarantee against indictment.
Presidential adviser Karl Rove has agreed to testify again about a CIA […]
And it ain’t just Tom DeLay. I heard about this today, and wasn’t going to say anything about it, but it’s already out there.
Interrupting our regular focus on Pre$$titution, we want to let readers know that rumors are flying around D.C. that over a dozen indictments may be coming in the Plame case.
We caution that […]
Wow. The times we’re living in get more and more interesting every day. DeLay’s second indictment came down today.
A Texas grand jury on Monday indicted U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay on a charge of money laundering, less than a week after another grand jury leveled a conspiracy charge that forced DeLay to temporarily step down as […]
