INTRIGUE: POLITICAL & CRIMINAL

Karl Rove royal hatchetman of the Bush administration and unrepentant architect so far of the desperate retro-gambit to mount a crucial campaign designed to save the republican majority in congress in the upcoming midterm elections must feel like a tightrope walker balancing hardball politics with the potential criminal indictment hovering over the periphery of the almighty news-cycle-- One elephant (out of a whole circus of elephants) rampaging in the national living room that www.truthout.org was willing to confront albeit running a little ahead of itself it seems as no other media outlet would confirm deny or even editorially speculate on except of course the pleistocene Wall Street Journal's editorial board which used the opportunity to attack both the messenger and the entire blogosphere instead of removing the cobwebs from its own blindered vision and actually asking-- 'Has Rover been indicted??'-- A menagerie of no-comments from everywhere (even from the prosecutor himself), perhaps we should ask Bobby Woodward for his take?-- Why such a blackout??-- Rove's lawyer pulling out all stops even secured what must be an unprecedented fifth or sixth trip to the grand jury for Roverboy to retestify again and again-- To save himself has Rover cashiered by the Dark Force now come to the Forces of Light?-- Has he turned state's evidence???--Hey, every man for himself and God against all-- Is the Embunkered One now a prosecutorial target???--

Now to the uproar over the FBI raid on Congressman Jefferson's office replete with 'over my dead body' threats to resign from Justice Department wigbigs (Joyce would say 'oaproariose as ten cannons in a skelter fugue') and battle-joined by house speaker Coach Hastert himself leads one to believe that more than Mr Jefferson has reason to believe such fishing expeditions may have located a whole school of palm-greased bottom feeding cynical fatfish congressional hacks-- Was Abramoff the only bribester in D.C. or just the only one caught??-- What happened and why to the bribesters who bagged Duke Cunningham?-- Why would Bush want to intimidate this spineless do-nothing congress when they have been in his pocket for nearly six years??-- Both sides of the aisle seem to be unduly frightened by what might be in Jefferson's gathered evidence-- Or perhaps in their own databases/harddrives-- How many culprits could each party lose to implosive scandal and indictment before election day?-- Something is rotten in the state of K-Street and how many offices down there will be warranted for search?-- Watch who and how the 'insolence of office' displays its imperial offense and who if anyone calls for accountability and who ultimately decides not to seek re-election-- Senators are purportedly allowed to keep campaign contributions when opting for retirement-- Can the center hold?-- Will it?-- Should it??-- Roverboy resurrecting the flag burning (so obviously a clear and present danger) ammendment as a midterm election issue (pathetically, that's one more quivered arrow than the democrats' flaccid political arsenal carries) delineates the 'rough Beast' definitely 'slouching' toward D.C.-- Not so widening a gyre do you hear our energy future slowly circling the drain??-- Do you hear the call for a new Party (Coming Are The Times @ www.bravo6.blogspot.com )?-- An Independent party???
