Everybody into the jury pool

It sounds like the opening line of a political joke: Karl Rove and Madeleine Albright were called to jury duty. It was reality, though, in a courtroom at D.C. Superior Court Monday, where both were potential jurors for a cocaine distribution case. According to The Washington Post, the president’s top adviser was heard telling Albright that Omaha is considered a terrorist target (and therefore entitled to a good measure of anti-terror money) because it’s the site of crossing phone lines. He was dismissed for knowing the judge socially, leaving Albright in the pool.

    Madeleine is twice the man that Rover ever was.

    Can Rove really take an oath to answer questions truthfully?

    Rove would taint any pool, jury or otherwise!
