That's the fine fellow that the Panetta Institute is honoring.

"It's not exactly like Congress would have a hard time finding Karl Rove if they sought to enforce subpoenas they filed against him.

On Monday, as the House Judiciary Committee let a third subpoena against former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove lapse, the tough-talking Texan attended a scheduled fundraiser in suburban Illinois.

Congress has subpoenaed Rove four times, and each time he has declined to attend. The Senate Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Rove in 2007 over the firings of US Attorneys. The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Rove in 2008 over the US Attorney firings and the alleged political prosecution of Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman. House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) also subpoenaed him in January, and again in February.

But Rove doesn't appear to be rattled. On Monday, he was in Schaumburg, Illinois, schmoozing with local politicos and raking in cash for the local party's coffers, according to a local newspaper report.

What's more, Rove's subpoenas have apparently gone so ignored that even the newspaper reporter who wrote the article didn't include mention of Rove's scheduled deposition that day."
