Congressional Democrats subpoenaed White House senior adviser Karl Rove, and Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) charged that “political considerations factored into the unprecedented firing of at least nine United States Attorneys last year," the AP reports.
“E-mails released by the Justice Department show [Attorney General Alberto] Gonzales’ aides conferred with Rove” on the firing of the prosecutors, the AP reports.
White House counsel Fred Fielding said Rove wouldn’t be showing up because “the subpoena probably got delivered to the wrong address” and that Leahy “couldn’t prove he was a senator” and “the font was kind of weird looking, like something from an IBM Selectric” and “Rove is home sick this year” and “La la la la I can’t hear you.”

Why are Bush's firing so much more heinous than Clinton's???
Democrat Politics?

Republican politics? Obfuscate and dismiss?
Nice.

Does it not bother you that Clinton fired over 11 times the number of attorneys than Bush?
Here is the new Democrat slogan...
Subpoena, Surrender, and Censor!
