Speaking of Rove's testimony, I examined the transcript to see what he had to say about Bill Canary. On pages 69-70, Rove leaves the impression that the relationship is casual, intermittent, involving little more than exchanging Christmas cards and talking occasionally. He makes it sound like not much more than a political connection. Yet you have characterized Rove and Canary as best friends and former business partners. How do you explain that rather glaring discrepancy?
We cannot just expect Rove to roll over and say: "I give up. I did it!" This is not how the government nailed John Gotti. How do I explain it, you ask? Karl Rove is a pathological liar. He has worked at developing this Caligula-like characteristic his entire life. He can now lie, while swearing on a stack of bibles, and still pass a lie detector test.
What's next?
We await the United States government's response to our motion for a new trial based on their (prosecutorial) misconduct. Meanwhile, we see if the U.S. Supreme Court will hear my case. If not, I will be resentenced to prison. We should know something by October.
That about wraps it up. Anything you'd like to add, Governor?
Pray for justice, work for results!
We most certainly will. Thank you for talking with me. Enjoy the Netroots Nation Conference. And good luck with your case.

Action alert:
Ask that the Siegelman conviction be thrown out for prosecutorial misconduct as was done for former Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens. And ask the DoJ to reexamine all of the hundreds of partisan prosecutions that went on during the Bush administration. Let's put justice back in the Justice Department.
