Subject: Truthout's claim of Rove's indictment
How come you didn't jump on the bandwagon of linking to Truthout's claim that Karl Rove was indicted? Bartcop claimed Rove was indicted, so did Democraticunderground.com.
Bill
I received many emails wanting me to post Truthout's claim. As much as I would like to see Rove indicted, I couldn't find any other verification. Even though this is a political humor site, I do try to be somewhat accurate on such a huge story before proclaiming it as fact.

I'm Numero Uno
Yep, I am the only U.S. president to raid the office of a U.S. Congressman, a
Democrat, of course. And it's about time the president took control of that
legislative body -- it makes it so much easier to get my agenda shoved through.
Plus, I need to get my scandals out of the headlines.
Yeah, this Congressman, William Jefferson from Katrinaland
Louisiana, accepted $100,000 bribe from an undercover FBI dude -- we have it on
videotape. But what really burned my fern was that this dude hid $90,000 in his
freezer wrapped in various food containers. How disrespectful. Any millionaire
worth his salt, would make sure that cold hard cash is kept in a humidity
controlled environment. Or better yet in a Swiss bank, Cayman Islands, etc...
See, that's why I'm president, I know how to take care of other people's money.
