Karl Rove in the Middle of More Dirty Business

ABC news is reporting that Karl Rove is in the middle of yet another scandal in the Bush White House. Karl Rove got away relatively unscaved by the Valerie Plame leak scandal, but he may not get away from this one. Recent controversy over the firing of several US Attorneys and leading Democrats calling for the removal of the new US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Several US Attorneys were fired and they largely had one thing in common, differing party and issue affiliation from the Bush Administration. ABC news has recovered e-mails that reflect how the firings were discussed before the Gonzales appointment, with Karl Rove as the middle man in the decision.

As a precedent, is the Bush administration allowed to act in this manner, despite his current "lame duck status". This has just been the ongoing of a series of controversies and scandals involving to Bush administration aids and officials. How can accountability be held on these issues without wasting valuable congressional time? We look forward to reading your comments.
