1. Karl Rove in Prison Stripes? Rep. Keith
Ellison Speaks.
Blip TV: Interview by Ken Avidor
"A gross politicalization[sic]" is Congressman Keith Ellison's
assessment of the Department of Justice hiring scandal. He spoke
with The UpTake's Ken Avidor about Monica Goodling, a former US
Attorney and Bush political appointee, who is accused of finagling the
firings of several left-leaning attorneys in order to, as Ellison says,"
make sure she infuses the federal bureaucracy with a right-wing
stamp."
Eliison also addresses the controversial Don Siegelman case, in
which the former Democratic governor of Alabama was yanked out of
office to fight corruption charges. A corrupt politician isn't news these
days. What is news? The fact that Karl Rove has been accused of
cooking up fictional scenarios to politically decapitate Siegelman, and
has subsequently ignored subpeonas[sic] demanding he answer the
charge. Will Rove go to federal prison?

2. Ralph Reed's link to McCain brews storm
of criticism
by Aaron Gould Sheinin for the AJC
....Reed, the former head of the Christian Coalition, was tied to the
corruption scandal involving Jack Abramoff, the highly paid
Washington lobbyist now serving a six-year prison term. Much of the
Abramoff scandal was exposed by an investigation led by McCain
when he chaired the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs.
...."John McCain's decision to cozy up to one of the central figures in
the Republican culture of corruption shows how far he is willing to go
to win," said Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean.
