Interesting how Karl Rove, a pathetic excuse for a political strategist, who has never won an election fair and square, but relies on the knife in the back and the smear (not to mention vote-rigging) to win “his” elections is no longer subject to the rule of law.
Having dodged a subpoena, and consistently refused to tell the truth, folk like you and I would be in jail. But not our Karl - although he's grilled by a House committee for a number of hours, he's not been placed under oath.
For what he has done, Rove should have been jailed the moment his dimwitted master left office, and brought out to testify as necessary. But wealth and political influence in the US, as in most other places, shield people from the raw effects of justice. There are exceptions - Madoff gets an exemplary jail sentence, Lord Archer gets stripped of his title and jailed, etc.
But for Americans to pretend that the USA is a fair and just society is as ridiculous as Stalin's subjects believing that they lived in a free democracy.
