Send Karl Rove to jail...

[grindmonkeh]

Last week, Karl Rove ignored a subpoena and refused to testify before Congress, choosing instead to take a trip abroad.

On Friday, former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman called on John McCain to compel his informal adviser Karl Rove to testify before Congress, and to remove Rove from any and all campaign capacities. link.

Edited for additional relative info:

From what I understand, Rep. Chris Cannon (R-Utah) is arguing with Representative Sanchez that Rove is not present because of a "long planned trip", even after she cited that Rover asserted that he was protected by Executive privilege.

EVEN STILL...here is Sanchez's report that states why Executive Privilege does not apply in this instance. There's another article about it here.

Bush may be able to keep Dirty Dick (Son of Satan) Cheney from testifying about his role in the leak of CIA Operative Valerie Plame. here. G-Dub's administration certainly is privileged. There's an interesting article about "Executive Disdain" here.

Of course. But he shouldn't go alone. He would get lonely. Cheney and the AG and Bush should go too...

No worries...they'll been roomies in hell with the rest of their neocon administration.

Hopefully there will be a webcam.

He didn't technically ignore the subpoena. Instead, he invoked executive privilege. Executive privilege is a "right" of the executive branch, upheld by the Supreme Court, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Privilege) to resist certain search warrants and other interventions by the legislative and judicial branches of government (I can't do HTML in comments for some reason :( ). I don't personally AGREE with it, and I think it's a delaying tactic at best considering the nature of the investigation, but there you go.

Dubya recently did likewise to avoid his own subpoena, invoking his Extra-Cute Pringles Can. Bad-dum-cha.
