WASHINGTON (AP) - Karl Rove is calling CBS a "shoddy
operation" for airing a story suggesting that he influenced the
prosecution of a former Democratic Alabama governor.
He says the GOP campaign worker leading the accusation is a
"complete lunatic."
In an interview with GQ magazine, President Bush's former
political guru says he has never met Alabama attorney Jill Simpson.
She is a one-time Republican campaign volunteer who has claimed
that Rove tried to sabotage Gov. Don Siegelman's career.
CBS has stood behind the "60 Minutes" program from February in
which Simpson said Rove asked her to find evidence that Siegelman
was cheating on his wife. Siegelman was convicted on corruption
charges in 2006.
