60 Minutes Story on Karl Rove vs. Don Siegelman: FALSE
60 Minutes is up to their old tricks again–or should I say, as usual. Quin Hilyer, who wrote for the Mobile Register for eight years, has the real story.
THE TRUTH IS that the entire Siegelman investigation stemmed from a series of articles in the Mobile Register (my former newspaper) by ace investigative reporter Eddie Curran, a winner of numerous journalism awards who is anything but a Republican.

Words cannot express how obviously false this tale is. If 60 Minutes airs the story as planned, it will merit a hundredfold the criticism that the New York Times has so well earned in the past two days. As was famously written in another context, the TV news show would be guilty of being “a little nutty and a little slutty.” Actually, we can drop the qualifier. This will be one cheap and sleazy one-night’s ratings stand.
Want to know the truth about this, and about the people behind this lie? You need to read this.
Don Siegelman was and is no victim, and virtually no honest person in Alabama or elsewhere would buy this attack on Karl Rove. SeeBS.
Some things never change.
Please digg the Hillyer story here, too. Digg’s been carpet-bombed lately with Evil Rove™ vs. Victim Siegelman stories lately. (Typical diggtard crap.)

Sorry, but that American Spectator piece that you’re relying on to convince people is just a bunch of misdirection.
“Virtually no honest person” would believe that Karl Rove would do these things? Well, you went off the rails there. Whether you like him or hate him, this is exactly the sort of thing he would do.
Beth says:
Well, gosh, you sure convinced me!
Go on thinking what you want. Obviously you know absolutely nothing about Don Siegelman. Karl Rove doesn’t have to “do these things.” You completely miss the point, but that’s hardly a surprise. Even if he would do something like this, the story is FALSE. Did I ever say he’d never do such a thing? No. I said no honest person would believe this BS story going around that he did THIS.
Tool.
