Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), who has primary jurisdiction over the
executive branch, is considering legislation to eliminate Karl Rove-type
advisers in future administrations.
The chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hints
broadly that such a bill could ban the use of federal funds to finance such
a politically partisan office.
"Why should we be using taxpayer dollars to have a person solely in charge
of politics in the White House?" Waxman said in an interview. "Can you
imagine the reaction if each member of Congress had a campaign person paid
for with taxpayer dollars?"
Waxman, one of President Bush's most dogged opponents, will decide in
September whether to press ahead this year or wait until next in hope of
having a Democratic president sign such a bill.

Waxman's one of the good guys, but let's not worry about the future. Let's
get Rove in prison...now. (Isn't there a sopoena he's not responding to?
Arrest him, what are you afraid of).
