You know what bothers me more? Whether or not a member of the White House leaked the identity of a CIA agent and now we have Karl Rove who is going to be testifying, it seems, once AGAIN (his emphasis). And is he doing so to cover his posterior? And what do you make of that?

All the carping about nickels and dimes and billions [on the Hill] is genuine. Members rail against a budget that's out of balance but then lunge to protect their pet projects when they're under the knife. (Karl Rove can reportedly do a spot-on imitation of a congressman who cycles from budget-cutting bravado to sniveling pleas for hometown pork.)

I don't think there's any question about it, this is a Karl Rove special. They believe the district has become more Republican, and they see an opportunity to knock John off. So this time, they're going to pull out all the stops.

Clearly she was talked out of the race the last time around (in 2004) and clearly she had conversations with Karl Rove and others in D.C. who didn't want her to run this time. I don't think she's the right person at the right time, and I don't think there is a right time for Katherine Harris.

When Mr. Rove purchased the home in January 2001, he qualified for the exemption. He was not made aware of the changes in D.C. law. Now that it has been brought to his attention, he is making restitution.
