Last night, CBS’s 60 Minutes aired its long-awaited report on Alabama’s incarcerated former governor Don Siegelman, featuring allegations that Karl Rove personally told a Republican operative in the state to find evidence that Siegelman was cheating on his wife.
Siegelman, a Democrat, was convicted in 2006 for conspiracy, bribery and fraud. But observers from all sides of the political spectrum are now questioning whether his prosecution “was pursued not because of a crime but because of politics.â€
Watch the report: 60 Minutes
This story has been out there FOREVER, but, until now, received almost no MSM attention (more proof that the media is not only not liberal, but that anyone who utters that canard, is a unAmerican lying punk).
Note the good Republicans protesting the corruption coming from George Bush’s office.
Any Republican who does not protest this is, by association, in their silence, simple pond scum.

Freaking incredible!
That these folks can even look at themselves in the mirror is beyond me.
Goerge Bush should be frogmarched from the White House and … [I cannot say it, as they'd come after me and throw me in jail].

Don Siegelman is a political prisoner in 21st century “America.” 60 minutes is letting America down by not mentioning the fact that Siegelman’s 2002 run for office was stolen. After midnight on the day he won, republican election officials came in and did a recount without notifying any Democrats. Since Siegelman would be denied a hand recount, all challenges would be verified by electronic voting machines just like in Utah.
Here is Seigelman himself recounting (no pun) the story.
Siegelman is now in prison and denied the right to speak to the media, which would undoubtedly edit any references to electronic or any other kind of election fraud. The blackout is complete. Media is just an arm of the government today.
But remember, you can always VOTE THE BUMS OUT!

So now you know where you are Larry.
Time to do what the Founders did, wear a medallion with the Tree of
Liberty on it, cast in silver, and make sure everyone can really see how the thing works. They met in secret mind you, and concocted events to get the reaction of the crown, to serve as an example of its true nature. Filthy.
Plan, plan, plan…like the filthy crown, it won’t just go away by itself. Utah is in a tough place, as many are completely brainwashed, left and right. Support efforts in your state that preserve its sovereignty, even if you don’t like the reasons or people doing it. By now it is obvious the feds won’t stick up for you. Or if they do it is to serve the motives of the revolving door people running it, and your State, as most of it is federally owned.
How many lefties in office you figure are just faking it? How many righties are faking it, but are really control freaks serving a corporate government? mccain comes to mind.
Buy Phillip Morris stock, from what we read obamas’ a chain smoker.
It’s very good cop, bad cop, and a public with a very guilty conscience, pasted onto them by the very media you say is in collusion with “government” for lack of a better term.
It’s not a prison, until you try the door.

You must have a bad cookie on your computer or something. The YouTube video in my post plays fine.

Here’s a very funny fake news video by The Onion. Notice which machine they’re making fun of. If you voted in Utah last time, you’ve seen it.

Larry,
You need to top post this stuff with a little narrative. Yes?

A regular contributor of videos to the BradBlog got a once in a lifetime chance to embarrass Karl Rove.
Click on the left side video on this post! to get a big laugh, and then play the right side to listen to Karl try to fast-talk his way out of a bad situation.
Although Karl seems to keep his composure, he must have crapped his pants when he helped Alan Breslauer unroll that sign. MSNBC played the video on Dan Abrams great and important series called “Bush League Justice.”
