Mr. Rove, Are You Getting Coal for Christmas?

Hmmmm, it appears Karl Rove is still on the hotseat. It appears that his selective memory issues became a bit less selective when informed of other journalists testifying before the grand jury on matters that might be deemed inconsistent with his prior testimony:

"Lawyers in the case have said that Mr. Rove, President Bush's top political adviser, remains in legal jeopardy because his initial statements to investigators and to the grand jury were not accurate.

Months before the conversation between Ms. Novak and Mr. Luskin, Mr. Rove testified to the grand jury that he had held a conversation about the C.I.A. officer with only one journalist, Robert D. Novak, the syndicated columnist. Mr. Rove did not disclose that he had also spoken to Mr. Cooper either in his first grand jury testimony, in February 2004, or in an earlier interview with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

But after his conversation with Ms. Novak, who is not related to the columnist, Mr. Luskin asked Mr. Rove to have the White House search for any record of a discussion between Mr. Rove and Mr. Cooper around the time that Ms. Wilson's identity became public in July 2003.

The search turned up an e-mail message from Mr. Rove to another senior White House official, Stephen J. Hadley, who was the deputy national security adviser, that recounted a conversation between Mr. Rove and Mr. Cooper. On Oct. 14, 2004, Mr. Rove went before the grand jury again to alter his earlier account, by saying he had also discussed the C.I.A. officer with Mr. Cooper."

So, I only remember when there will be consequences when I don't remember . . .

Makes the whole "it depends on what the meaning of "is" is" sound a lot more reasonable.

This should be better than a big old glass of egg nog for PalJoey.

My Republican friends in DC are sh*tting over this. It looks like it may be perjury AND obstruction charges for both Rove and Luskin, his lawyer. And somehow, they're saying, Fitzgerald may force Luskin to testify AGAINST Rove.

I am getting my shoes all nice and shined in case there is a need for a happy dance.
