New York Daily News - World & National Report - Daily News Exclusive: Rove's net anger:

When it comes to pesky e-mail spam, Karl Rove doesn't mess around.

The White House political adviser and deputy chief of staff took time from his busy schedule early last year to personally track down a bothersome spammer who made the mistake of hitting subscribers to President Bush's campaign site, the Daily News has learned.

Aometime after Rove intervened, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan opened a criminal investigation that ultimately led to the arrest of a Florida man while he was at the movies with his then-7-year-old daughter.

The businessman, Robert McAllister, who hired the spammer that infuriated Rove, now claims he's the victim of malicious prosecution brought about by the President's famously ruthless political aide.

'His voice was chilling,' McAllister recalled in an interview Friday. 'He says, 'Look, I got a Web site here called georgewbush.com and I got 900 subscribers and every one of them is getting e-mail from you.' He said, 'You gotta stop this right here and now. You've got to leave my subscribers alone.'
