...Rove was behind the prosecution of another politician, Don Siegelman. It was a total railroad job, the man was prosecuted for something which (a) was common practice historically and (b) did not benefit him financially. Yet Siegelman was tried and convicted and sent to prison -- making sure they handcuffed him and got a nice photo-op in the process.

When the Obama administration took office, most of us expected his DOJ to look into that case and unravel what went on there.

Nope. Holder's DOJ declined to get involved.

Fast forward to today, where Rove is accusing Obama of something illegal when it is (a) common practice historically and (b) does not benefit him financially.

Do we see a pattern here?

Let's hope it does not hold up. But if Rove is free to spout this nonsense, then the Obama administration's history of appeasement of the rabid right wing has contributed to that. So quelle surprise, the rabid pit bull bites him in the ass. Who could have seen that coming.
