Rove & Siegelman

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/196875.php

If Siegelman's and Alabama GOP lawyer Jill Simpson's stories are true, that would make this case the centerpiece example of the corruption of the DOJ revealed by the US Attorney firing scandal. In fact, it would make most of what we know now seem minor by comparison.

TPM more or less created the USA abuse scandal some months ago by continuing to dig when mainstream publications (*cough*The New Pravda*cough*The WaPoop*cough) ignored all the red flags.

And I mean "created" as high praise.

Scott Horton has been doing the heavy lifting on Siegelman; the backstory is here:

Well worth poking around in. Horton had announced that he was going on the wagon - giving up blogging, I mean - so I haven't been back in a while, and it's good to see that he's still at it.

If you haven't heard about MainCore, Horton has a post here:

with a link to the Radar Online article that kicked it off. I have nothing useful to say except "where is the outrage?", which isn't very useful.
