I’ve always held him in contempt.
This will only give MC ROVE the street cred he needs.
Ah, now sick someone on the motherfucker. I hear Dog the Bounty’s looking for work.
The contempt really goes both ways, I guess.
Yo Karl, you wanna be the husband or the wife?
They should have him arrested during a live segment on Fox News.
Handcuffs. Shackles. It’s frog marching time, Karl.
I’m sure he’s really upset about it.
I love that picture. The tie really suits him.
…this week just keeps getting better and better! Would it be too much to ask for Dick Cheney to develop a brain tumor?!
In before pardon.
Don’t people realize yet? These kinds of legal actions only make him stronger.
I’m thinking Karl’s going to experience some sort of jailhouse conversion. Oh, and he might get religion too.
I can’t wait to see this episode of COPS.
Perp walk! Perp walk! And now Karl can go from being Cheney’s bitch to being bottom boy from some lovely inmate named “Skeazy.”

Karl ain’t going to jail. If Dubya doesn’t pardon his boy, assuming the DOJ prosecutes him for anything, they’ll meet up in Paraguay at the ranch.
It’s to learn South American, Karl. http://www-tc.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/paraguay604/images/paraguay_map_604.jpg
Hell, he’s already got a nickname fit for any inmate’s bottom bitch.
He’s like a greased pig, ain’t he?
We’ve got Unitary Executive douchebags in the White House, and the AG as well. Congress can’t force jail time on Carl (although there is a minimum of one month imprisonment) even if it wanted to, which it doesn’t. They just wants to appease those of us bitters who still cling to this rule-of-law fairy tale.
Oh my God, I am eating a fking taco and seeing this caption just sealed this moment for me:
Best fking taco ever, on the best day ever!!!
Herr Karl’s future lies in Nancy Pelosi’s hands.
Does she have the balls to go through with it?
Lemme get this straight. According to Lamar Smith, the effect is what should receive the most attention, but the cause should just be swept under the rug? Does he honestly think that this administration’s action will be soon forgotten? We should have a witch hunt for these smug republican assholes. Cover ‘em in oil and light ‘em up.
I have a feeling he’s going to be going away for a long, long time.
Either that, or absolutely nothing will happen to him. Yeah, probably that.
[re=47748]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Please do not bring down the GOPVixen’s wrath upon us.
Life is good. For me, not you Karl.
Hey Congress! I hate Rove as much as any of you, but you all are bigger bitches than Karl will ever be. Harriett and Josh are walking around free after your last contempt citations. No wonder you have lower poll numbers than Dubya. Grow a set and lets see some perp-walks, or shut up, and write some more stermly worded letters. You’re the ones who make sure the federal marshals get paid, for fuck’s sake! Power of the purse!
Seriously.
[re=47762]S.Luggo[/re]: Bush can go live in the department named after another president who didn’t really win the election that put him in office…
[re=47761]Terry[/re]: Hell, he probably won’t even be prosecuted before 1/20/2009, and if Obama wins and the new AG snaps a subpoena on him fast enough, George “Kenny Boy Who?” Bush won’t lift a finger to save him. At least that’s the crumb of Hope ™ I keep in my bitter little heart.
You can’t pardon someone preemptively, right? So let’s all just sit on this until, oh I don’t know, January 20, 2009 and then drag him to jail.
I almost jerked off to that picture, then I realized, it wasn’t REALLY the Turdblossom….
[re=47767]Volumptuous[/re]: …inherent contempt doesn’t work like that. When you are found in contempt of congress you are pretty much shit out of luck if they decided to enforce it. Lets just hope they don’t castrate themselves and let him slip away.
I was going to masturbate to the girl with the black swimsuit in the American Apparel ad but I may fantasize about this instead.
I’m sure a very, very strongly worded letter will be forthcoming from the House.
OH NOES NEXT THING YA KNOW THERE GONNA SEND HIM AN ANGRY LETTER!!!!!1!
Way to do nothing, chumps. Fuck you very much.
[re=47785]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Under 2 U.S.C. § 194, once either the House or the Senate issues a citation for contempt of Congress, it is referred to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, “whose duty it shall be to bring the matter before the grand jury for its action.”[4] It is unclear (as of March 20, 2007) whether Mr. Taylor would fulfill this duty to convene a grand jury, or resist Congress at the direction of Bush or Gonzales.
Mr. Taylor is the current US.A for DC. He’s an Ashcroft and Gonzales crony, who was a major author of the PATRIOT ACT.
There no fucking way in hell he’s going to convene a grand jury on this one. It’s pretty much up to him, and he’s a Grade-A #1 fuckhole.
[re=47748]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Seriously. What a week.
[re=47794]Volumptuous[/re]: Well let’s hope Taylor isn’t taking orders from Gonzo still…
Well, I’ll bet this really has the president and Carl worried…I mean they voted on it and everything. So, what happens now? A resolution stating that the democrats in congress are really, reaaly, not kiding, followed by a statement that they really, really, mean it this time? Maybe another subpoena, to answer as to why he ignored the last one, followed by a stearnly worded letter, and then if that doesn’t work….
When do they get to use the tasers?
And it’s only Wednesday! Who is the next cockroach? Line ‘em all up and give ‘em fifty lashes each from both Barry and Michelle, then deport ‘em to Afghanistan, naked and shackled in irons.
[re=47735]RuperttheBear[/re]: He’ll spend his days lifting in the yard and working on his first album. I picture lots of hardcore tattoos also.
[re=47806]TGY[/re]: …fukk the taser, they should go “Shield” on his azz!
[re=47794]Volumptuous[/re]: …I have an old parking ticket that I need taken care of, you think you could help me out?!?!
[re=47810]Servo[/re]: …someone has been watching the “Passion of Christ”!
This mark on his permanent record is going to sting soooo bad. I’m sure the shame of it all is just killing him.
He He He, He said “probe” He He He….
[re=47834]AngryBlakGuy[/re]:
Never seen it. However, my comment does smack of Ben-Hur.
“WAIT! No water for him.”
It’s a beautiful picture. Now can someone photoshop Batman into it?
oddly Drudge has opted not to make note of this anywhere today
[re=47834]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: I have the stupids whens parking tickxets. I don’t know nothin’ that ain’t wikipediaz.
The lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
What would make this even better would be if Dick Cheney had a heart attack while the EMT’s are out to lunch.
looks like turdblossom is taking it like a man, given the boner he’s sporting in that photo. i always figured he liked it rough.
Wouldn’t it be great if at just the moment FOX captures the arrest, he loses control of his famously disciplined bowels?

Good to see you back, Mr. ABG!
Would be a little redundant for Dickie to get braIn tumor; Robert Nowak has a corner on that one this newscycle for his defense in funning over a guy and “not seeing him”–altho he was on his for @ a 1/2 block. — curses, foiled again!
