Forgive me for my cynicism when it comes to Fox, the abdication of a constitutional duty of congress to oversee and attempt to hold the executive branch in check, and the predictable reaction of Bush/Rove supporters to downplay the risk to Rove, when he is reported to be the reason that a special prosecutor was assigned to this investigation, in the first place.

Host, I am very confused about your remarks above. It sounds like you think Fox News is conservatively biased and therefore pro-Rove. This is undoubtedly true, so I'm still with you. Then, you...er, call to impeach Bush because you wanted to make the "mirror opposite" statement to... ?something positive about Rove said by Fox News? Or were you trying to "clear up" the subsequent posts in which people believed that Rove was co-operating?

Is it just me or does that not make logical sense? I know you'll probably respond with a dozen quotes from Fox News and then say, "Yeah, well Fox News doesn't make any sense either.", but I wanted to give it a shot. I am very interested in seeing where you are going with this thread.
