And in other news, a startling revelation re: the US Attorneys scandal

Senator Kit Bond implicated!

The Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsiblity and its Inspector General have released their long-awaited report on the firings of nine U.S. Attorneys -- including Todd Graves of the western district of Missouri.

The nearly 400-page report concludes Graves was one of the attorneys forced out -- and it blames Kit Bond's staff for the ouster.

"Graves faced opposition from the staff of his home-state senator, Kit Bond, which we concluded likely led to his removal."

"(Todd) Graves told us that in the fall of 2004 a member of Senator Bond's staff called him and angrily insisted that Graves use his influence to persuade his brother to fire his brother's Chief of Staff (Jeff Roe). According to Graves, when he declined to get involved, the Bond staffer informed him that "they could no longer protect (his) job."

FYI, Jeff Roe is our local Karl Rove.

1. It all boils down to subverting the election process at every level they could....

they did it in 2000 and ramped it up for 2002 and 2004 - WITH the help of the WH and their thugs.

2. You betcha

This is interesting in that a US Senator pressured a US Congressman to fire his chief of staff. And that chief of staff is one of the loudest voices here demanding voter ID. hmmm
