Just the kind of guy you want to give a lot of power to.

We mentioned a few days ago a woman named Elizabeth Reyes who was an attorney in the elections division of the Texas Secretary of state. She answered a press question about a law that Karl Rove had broken — though she wasn’t told that Rove was the person involved. She was immediately fired.

But for the morons among us, Williams would like to make clear that Rove’s call had nothing to do with it.
