Senate Finds Rove and Bolten in Contempt

I've been holding them in contempt for years, and I was hoping the Senate doing the same would be more meaningful. But probably not:

A Senate panel found former presidential adviser Karl Rove and current White House Chief of Staff Joshua B. Bolten in contempt of Congress yesterday for refusing to testify and to turn over documents in the investigation of the firings of nine U.S. attorneys last year.

The Senate Judiciary Committee approved contempt citations against Rove and Bolten on a 12 to 7 vote, rejecting the White House position that the work of two of President Bush's closest advisers is covered by executive privilege.

Earlier this year, the House Judiciary Committee cited Bolten and former White House counsel Harriet E. Miers for contempt. But action by either chamber of Congress is still weeks or months away. Lawmakers and aides said neither house will take up the issue until late January at the earliest.

And never at the latest.

I look forward to Nancy Pelosi's announcement that taking action that in any way would reflect badly on King George of Bushlandia is "off the table."
