Sounds like Rove sent Allen Weh a dead fish

Karl Rove can't erase his fingerprints from the U.S. Attorney firing scandal:

The chairman of the New Mexico Republican Party was quoted Saturday as saying he urged presidential adviser Karl Rove and one of his assistants to fire the state's U.S. attorney. He said later, however, the decision had already been made by the time he talked to Rove.

McClatchy Newspapers reported that Allen Weh said he complained in 2005 about then-U.S. Attorney David Iglesias to a White House liaison who worked for Rove, asking that he be removed, and followed up with Rove personally in late 2006 during a visit to the White House.

Is anything ever going to happen to that guy?" Weh said he asked Rove at a White House holiday event.

"He's gone," Rove said, according to Weh.

"I probably said something close to 'Hallelujah,'" said Weh.

Weh told The Associated Press later Saturday that "Rove has little or nothing to do with this."

Isn't it funny how whenever someone comes forward with a statement about strongarm tactics by Rove and this White House, a few hours later they backtrack like a bicyclist with handbrakes? Gee, do you think perhaps threatening phone calls are made in the meantime? Or do they just behead the guy's dog?
