Rove, the attorney firings, and the concept of the "limited hang-out".

[annabanana]

There is a marvelous piece over at firedoglake.com, where they "get into the weeds".

....few people seem all that interested in why. Why--after claiming, implausibly, that Rove couldn't speak publicly for years--Luskin arranged this nice limited hang-out just in time to pre-empt anything from HJC. Luskin went to some trouble to orchestrate yesterday's media blitz. Don't you think that suggests he's got something to pre-empt or distract from? Don't you think that ought to be the story, the proper response to such a transparent ploy from a defense attorney?

Alabama & Mississippi are ground zero for the dirty tricks that have hamstrung Siegelman, and if you read the comments, C-Street is an integral part of the mess.

I love that place...
