Toby Roth Defends Karl Rove

Filed under: AL Issues, AL Executive Branch, National Politics — Danny @ 8:15 am

Toby RothGov. Riley’s former chief of staff Toby Roth, who worked on a 1996 campaign with Karl Rove, disparages claims made about Karl Rove’s involvement in the Siegelman prosecution. In Saturday’s Birmingham News, Roth defends Rove by suggesting that the affidavits were “sour grapes” from two employees of a company that lost out on a state contract last year.

FWIW, the article fails to provide the relevant context that Toby Roth worked on a campaign with Karl Rove. Roth was financial director for Harold See’s 1996 campaign for a seat on the Alabama Supreme Court, a campaign managed by Karl Rove.

  1. I have no idea about the veracity of the affidavit, but Toby Roth
    is the last bastion of little minds. How come all of them have names
    like Toby and Twinkle?

  2. Speaking of little minds, nothing speaks to the smallness of one’s mind like attacking someone because of his/her name.
