Rove runs away like a little girl...
- Thread starter binary visions
- Start date
Too bad he didn't leave in like 1999. Maybe there would still be buildings in Iraq.
While I am happy to see him gone, it's too bad he's going to slip out from underneath the congressional scrutiny.
Incidentally, they updated the article and removed the piece I quoted. Funny. They did add this gem, though:

And why was that important?
I'm being sincere in asking. What was the Republican party concerned about with Dems in charge?
The dems (people, not the politicians) had at least one public concern -- the direction of Iraq. I'm not saying they'd have done a better job, just saying that was an issue.
What were the repubs afraid of if the Dems were in office? And please, the whole terrorism argument is absurd, so try to come up with something else.
Not to bring this back to topic, but I have a hard time analyzing political manueving.
The first thought I had when I heard the announcement was, why is he retiring?
I am not sure how this is going to remove the heat from Bush/Gonzales. I would think only a resignation from Alberto will satisfy the Dems.

Rove was (and will to some degree remain) in the untouchable area due to the awful power W gave himself early on. He walks away very happy and very rich, with no accountability.
I only hope he gets hit by a bus, that would be awesome.

ya, thank GOD the Dems didn't get elected, or we'd have increased government spending, huge deficits, bloated congressional pet projects, corruption, a foreign policy based on intervening in world affairs, etc. Thank god that W won, since now we have a humble foreign policy, lower deficits, lower spending, smaller government and a "uniter not a divider" as the head of the country.
wait a minute...
You make me miss Clinton.ya, thank GOD the Dems didn't get elected, or we'd have increased government spending, huge deficits, bloated congressional pet projects, corruption, a foreign policy based on intervening in world affairs, etc. Thank god that W won, since now we have a humble foreign policy, lower deficits, lower spending, smaller government and a "uniter not a divider" as the head of the country.

He only got a BJ and balanced the budget.
You may have just coined a new RM euphimism..."just got my budget balanced last night".........
Doesn't take much to put Andorra in the poor house. On other hand , where I'm from needs at least 45 minutes of sack gargling before the treasury can be pillaged
Such a romantic!
Sh*t mate, what can I say, I'm Australian, our pillow talk doesn't extend much past "you awake?".Such a romantic!
...just give it one tug if you're a willing participant, and 433 if not.
you would think that all of these highly ranked officials in the executive branch resigning would send up red flags with the public...
It had been made clear that the Bush Admin lied, err, misunderstood the intell that lead to the 'invasion' before the 2004 election... and people STILL voted for him!
No president in history has ever lost an election during a time of war. No matter how bad they suck, nobody wants to change horses mid-race. Sad but true.

If the Dems had been elected, you'd still have all the bull**** fallout from this ill-begotten, ill-decided war...and the blame would be squarely on the Democrats for the way they "mishandled" the situation they walked in on.ya, thank GOD the Dems didn't get elected, or we'd have increased government spending, huge deficits, bloated congressional pet projects, corruption, a foreign policy based on intervening in world affairs, etc. Thank god that W won, since now we have a humble foreign policy, lower deficits, lower spending, smaller government and a "uniter not a divider" as the head of the country.

Not that I'm much of a fan of the Dems (nor am I a Bush fan, mind you), but they are now in a politically strong position due to the loss of the last election.
