Political corruption is nothing new in Alabama--nor in any other state in the Union. It does come as a surprise, though, when it appears that the prime operator of the GOP--Karl Rove--is involved in the prosecution of a former Democratic Governor.

This allegation comes from a Republican whistleblower, lawyer Dana Jill Simpson, who is apparently suffering repercussions from her honesty:

She’s been smeared as "crazy" and as a "disgruntled contract bidder." And something nastier: after her intention to speak became known, Simpson’s house was burned to the ground, and her car was driven off the road and totaled.

Karl Rove is just one single man, albeit a very busy one, so how is that he can be involved in so many scandals, all across the country?

Friends in low places.
