" Karl Rove will visit Alabama to give a speech in August. Nothing surprising about that. Rove made his national name in Alabama by joining with Bill Canary and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to essentially buy state-court seats for "pro business" judges.

Rove visits our fair state regularly, usually in one of the prime population centers--Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, or Huntsville. In August, however, the former White House strategist and current Fox News and Wall Street Journal contributor will visit a relative backwater. The location of Rove's upcoming speech should raise eyebrows for anyone who has followed the Don Siegelman case.



- Why would one of the biggest names in Republican politics pay a visit to such an out-of-the-way place? Perhaps we should note that the event is sponsored by the Coffee County Republican Committee and follow up with these questions: Who used to be Coffee County's representative on the GOP's executive committee? Who used to be the elected district attorney for Coffee County before moving on to greener pastures during the George W. Bush administration?



The answer to both of those questions is Mark Fuller, now chief U.S. judge for the Middle District of Alabama. Fuller has served in that position since Bush appointed him in 2002--while Rove served as chief White House adviser. And for what is Mark Fuller best known? Why, he was the judge who handled the case against former Democratic governor Don Siegelman, perhaps the most notorious political prosecution in American history. According to the sworn testimony of Alabama whistleblower and attorney Jill Simpson, that case was driven by GOP political operatives in Alabama, with assistance from Rove in Washington, D.C.

3. OMG, that's where I was born and have family.

The Boll Weevil monument is unique.

I'm afraid to read the rest, for fear it's my family down there who invited him.

5. Kicked and Recced and it stayed at "zero."

Says something. Says a lot, actually.

May Rove, Fuller, Canary and Wife and the rest of the Alabama BFEE all face Justice, real soon.

6. We ignore Rove at our peril

And if that sounds melodramatic, it was meant to be.

This guy hasn't gone away, and he's got his fingers in too many pies -- and too much corporate money at his disposal -- to be dismissed.

The question, though, is what his real agenda is. He's not a Tea Partier. And though he takes corporate cash, he's always used corporate support as a means and not an end. Once his purpose was getting George W. Bush elected and keeping the Republican Party in Power. What is it now?

7. Sir, what we have here is what we call a non-repeating phantasm, or a class-5 free roaming vapor
