You Wouldn't Think He'd Have The Time

Man Accused of Fraud Blames Karl Rove (Larry Neumeister, AP, 9/12/06)
Attorneys for a man accused of fraud say he was charged at the behest of presidential adviser Karl Rove in retaliation for a flood of spam e-mails sent to a campaign Web site. A federal prosecutor says the claim is "absurd."

Assistant U.S. Attorney David M. Siegal urged U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain on Monday to reject arguments that Rove caused the criminal investigation that led to charges against Robert McAllister.
Doesn't he know we need a new casus belli?

It just gets odder and odder. What normal citizen would blame Rove for having the guy strung up by his toes as trophy in the West Wing for sending a flood of spam e-mails?
