Democrats Plan Protest

Political strategist Karl Rove has announced that he will be coming to Birmingham to promote his new book of political fiction to try and shore up president Bush’s “legacy” in office, Courage and Consequence, according to the local CBS affiliate, Channel 42 News.

He will be signing books at the Books-A-Million at Brookwood Mall at 3 p.m. Tuesday, April 27.

During the stop in Alabama, the so-called “architect” of President Bush’s 2000 and 2004 campaigns, the architecture including election theft here and there in Florida, Ohio and Baldwin County, Alabama, will also be the featured speaker for a dinner hosted by the Alabama Republican Party at 6 p.m. at The Club in Birmingham.

Auburn Republican Mike Hubbard tells Alabama news organizations he’s “excited” to get Rove to come to town and help raise money.

While I have no doubt Republicans will flock to see the bald-headed white guy who president Bush called “Turd Blossom,” we doubt he will draw crowds like Sarah Palin.

Some Democrats who support former Governor Don Siegelman say they are working on mounting a protest of Rove’s visit.

They’ve designed a sign that says, “Restore Justice: Jail Rove. Free Don.”

“If you stand on the side of Gov. Don Siegelman, you’ve got a rare opportunity this coming Tuesday in Birmingham to add your voice in calling out Karl Rove as he continues his book tour,” said the Rev. Jack Zylman of Southside.

“While Rove is out on a book-signing tour, Gov. Siegelman is having to think about the fact that he is facing a possible return to prison,” he said in an e-mail alert. “Siegelman was convicted of a something that was not a crime. So why are we letting Karl Rove travel the country signing his book and making millions while Gov. Siegelman goes to work each day not knowing if he will be sent back to prison? If the Don Siegelman case were truly investigated, it’s certain it would lead to Karl Rove.”
