By DAVID JOHNSTON 6:30 AM ET

The prosecutor advised Karl Rove that he would not be charged with any wrongdoing, effectively ending the nearly three-year criminal investigation.

oh, it's not my birthday yet... I was hoping they'd hand him something nasty in time for it, tho.

What I said when I heard it on radio news, was something the no-freedom-of-speech US Government is setting $250,000 fines for per instance of.

Even though WBZ when Viacom gained in with the purchase of what was once the Westinghouse Broadcasting System became a rightwinger editorial mouthpiece, one of the people interviewed said that anyone else who had been called multiple times by a Grand Jury to testify and had responded as Rove had apparently responded, would be up on charges--that Rove was let off the hook.

WTF is going on? And who's being protected by whom how? This makes "something is rotten in the state of Denmark" look squeaky clean and pure and saintly...

Sometimes I have to wonder if I still live in the US. It sure isn't the country that I was born in, anymore.

This may not be bad news

I probably is, but it may also mean that Rove has given testimony against someone else. I have no idea *cough*Cheney*cough* who that could be. I say this because when it appeared that Rove had been quietly indicted but there was no announcement to that effect, it sure looked to me like there must have been negotiations for testimony in play.

Happy birthday anyway.
