Rove Lied to Bush, So Why Does He Still Have a Job?

Time Magazine:

But whether or not he’s in trouble with the law, friends say, [Karl Rove is] certainly in trouble with Bush. Rove will continue managing the intersection of politics and policy in the White House but will have to regain the unfettered powers he once held. “The President’s relationship with Karl has been damaged over the scandal,” a Bush friend says. A source close to Rove says when Bush asked Rove whether he was responsible for leaking Plame’s CIA identity to columnist Robert Novak, Rove told him “absolutely not.” While that may have been strictly true, Fitzgerald’s indictment suggests that Rove did at least discuss Wilson’s wife with Novak, as he did with TIME’s Matthew Cooper.

Sounds like more Times crap — you know, the stuff the lying liars used to start a war of conquest in Iraq.

Sure — ol’ chimpy is pissed at his “brain” for lying… Yup, right — chimpy would have preferred to have been right there, in the loop, in the “thick” of things.

Now he has all of this “moral outrage” and he was totally “out of the loop.”

Yeah right, Times.

Kind of surprised that you are passing this bullsh%y along without more of a critical comment. Sure, we all want to see the “wheels come off” the administration; but this shoulds more like spin from the lying liars than an honest assessment of the situation.

Just my opinion; feel free to disagre…

Poetic Justice

Verbatim

“Not one of them is trained in technical skills. Not one research PhD, as opposed to China, where half the cabinet is science and technology PhDs. We’re led by grifters and fools.”

— Columbia professor Jeffrey Sachs, on X, on President Trump’s 35-person cabinet.

“Mr. President, some of your immigration enforcement efforts have gone too far… The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today.”
