"Tim Griffin, formerly right hand man to Karl Rove, resigned Thursday as US
Attorney for Arkansas hours after BBC Television 'Newsnight' reported that
Congressman John Conyers requested the network's evidence on Griffin's
involvement in 'caging voters.' Greg Palast, reporting for both BBC Newsnight
and Democracy Now, obtained a series of confidential emails dating from the 2004
presidential election in which the GOP operative transmitted so-called 'caging
lists' of voters to state party leaders.
Experts have concluded the caging
lists were designed for a mass challenge voters right to cast ballots. The
caging lists were heavily weighted with minority voters including
African-American homeless men, students and soldiers sent overseas. "
I don't know what to say about this news. It is getting to the point where this administration is like a giant tree, with leaves falling off dead all the time. When you look at it, you see whole branches that are dead and the ground around it is littered with fallen limbs. I doubt that it can get anything done before 2008. It is hard to know how deep the sickness has effected the tree and how widely it has spread.
