And, while you're at it, throw 'em a concrete life preserver

sinking like a stone...

New unreleased e-mails from top administration officials show that the idea of firing all 93 U.S. attorneys was raised by White House adviser Karl Rove in early January 2005, indicating Rove was more involved in the plan than the White House previously acknowledged.

The e-mails also show that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales discussed the idea of firing the attorneys en masse while he was still White House counsel, weeks before he was confirmed as attorney general.

they're screwed, blued, and tatooed... the r's may have delayed a subpoena for rove but they're gonna find it hard to stonewall it for much longer...
