Waiting for the Frog March

For those of you who share Joe Wilson's dream of Karl Rove being "frog marched out of the White House" (and I consider myself a charter member of the group), more good news out of Washington tonight.

First, we've got the humor. Comedian and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid chimed in with this tidbit (compliments of Tapped via Daily Kos)about fear tactics in the mid-term elections:

"I don't think Karl Rove's message, if he's still out of jail, will have the same sound as it did."

And, more importantly, this lovely piece on the legal front:

Abramoff Said to Claim Close Ties to Rove

The piece has three former associates quoting Abramoff as frequently mentioning his close ties to Rove and even receiving a call from Rove's office claiming a meeting for one of Abramoff's clients had been set.

The White House dances around it, but Abramoff's former assistant has been working for Rove for years. Even the idiots in the press should be able to figure out that's no coincidence.

So, even if Fitzgerald somehow misses Rove, he should probably keep that lawyer's number handy.
