In other words, we're more than happy to have him come and lie to you about anything you care to ask......

1. Not good enough.

If they have nothing to hide, then they should be willing to testify under oath. This is bull crap.

3. Look it is the executive branches right to lie if they choose to

That's what you call separation of powers; it means that the Executive can do whatever it likes and to hell with the Legislative.

13. yes, it is, but lovely bull crap. Someone's scared of being subpoenaed.

Wonder why? ;-)

2. Demands? What demands? I thought they were going to issue subpoenas.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House offered on Tuesday to make President George W. Bush's senior political adviser, Karl Rove, available to congressional investigators but rejected Democratic demands he testify under oath regarding the firings of U.S. attorneys.

5. I can't think of any president who didn't try to pull this shit

of claiming executive privilege every time some underling was caught with his hand in the cookie jar, or worse.

Let's hope Congress doesn't let him get away with it this time, either.

4. Rove

If he's got nothing to hide, what's the problem with testifying under oath?

GWB wouldn't tolerate a liar in his cabinet, would he?

6. Surely you're not suggesting

he would dissemble.

I caught him on CSPAN recently when he 'explained' why * got more votes in 04 (after bungling the nation and removing any doubt of his idiocy) and he said the R's:
1. Identified undecided voters
2. Rigorously implemented one-on-one conversations with networks of people to find one respected R to persuade the undecided to vote for *

Good strategy. Thanks KKKarl.

7. Hell no. Rove, of all people, must be sworn in. (nt)

8. If he's got nothing to hide

..he's got nothing to fear. What's wrong KKKarl, afraid to testify in front of the big bad Dem Congress under oath??

Get over it :grr:

10. Now where have I heard that before? nt

[guitar man]

12. hehe

the song of the Patriot Act sycophants, I heard it a million times when I was trying to convince the bots it was a bad idea. Maybe time for some of their own medicine :evilgrin:

9. As Conyers put it today, there are penalties for lying to congress

So he is in trouble if he lies, sworn or not.

11. If he don't have anything to hide why would he care?

14. Hiding the ball

Here is a ranking of the best ways for us to get to the bottom of this.

1. Testimony under oath
2. Deposition
3. Interviews (what we're getting)
4. Two guys chit chatting on a street corner.
