Conyers: 'We're Closing In On Rove'
By Ryan Grim

(The Politico) Just off the House floor today, the Crypt overheard House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers tell two other people: "We're closing in on Rove. Someone's got to kick his ass."

Asked a few minutes later for a more official explanation, Conyers told us that Rove has a week to appear before his committee. If he doesn't, said Conyers, "We'll do what any self-respecting committee would do. We'd hold him in contempt. Either that or go and have him arrested."

Conyers said the committee wants Rove to testify about his role in the imprisonment of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, among other things.

"We want him for so many things, it's hard to keep track," Conyers said.

7. Ditto!
Charlie Brown: You just want me to run over to kick that football then pull it away to watch me fall on my back and kill myself.
Lucy Van Pelt: See? I have a signed document saying that I won't pull it away.
Charlie Brown: Wow. A signed document. Maybe this is the year I finally kick that football.

Charlie Brown: Aauugh!

Lucy Van Pelt: Peculiar thing about this document. It was never notarized.
