    Wake me in 7 days. The cynic in me says 'don't get too excited'. He said he wouldn't take the FIFTH - not that he wouldn't lie.

    Rove is a waste of human life. Hell can't burn too hot for the likes of that scumbag.

      Put him in jail with Rummy, Cheney, W, Gonzo and a few others, then let's see who kills who first!

        Rove is the most despicable propagandist ever to grace the halls of the white house. He and his fellow criminals, Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Libby, et al should all be sentenced to life at Gitmo! "torture" allowed since they don't think it's torture.

          Rove is square on track to emerge from investigations with a wrist slap and a FAT 'tell all' book deal. I'm taking bets he will sell out the entire Bush administration, but only after another Republican is elected President.

            We never had this much visceral hate until we got us a black president.I guess the black population was to timid to speak out before they became the superior intellect.

            Rove will use the same "three-word option" that was developed to the form of high art by Gonzo.

            The three-word option: "I don't recall"

                FrauBlucher,
                Excellent post, You made so many great points.

                As I have posted before on Political Machine, we need to locate handcuffs small enough to fit Rove's tiny, cloven hooves. Then we need a second pair made up for Chaney.

                Oh to have been a fly on the wall when Karl called the white house last week to 'check' and see if his executive cover-my-asss still was any good. I imagine silence on the other end of the phone, followed by shocked giggles which melted into a breathless hysterical laughter, as the phone was dropped onto the floor so the person on the white house end could roll about more freely. good times.

                Oh and I love your name! Rool, roool, rooool in zee hay! lol!

                  I THINK THAT THERE HAS BEEN A POWER STRUGGLE
                  BETWEEN PRESIDENT BUSH AND VP CHENEY IS BIG
                  FOR THE PRESIDENT WHO WOULD NOT PARDON LIBBY.
                  THE WAY I SEE IT CHENEY TRIED TO HIGH JACK
                  THE BUSH PRESIDENCY AND DID NOT SUCCEED BECAUSE
                  HE 'MISUNDERESTIMATED' PRESIDENT BUSH AS DID
                  HIS CRITICS. IN MY MIND, PRESIDENT BUSH IS
                  THE GREATEST PRESIDENT IN MODERN HISTORY BECAUSE
                  HE CHANGED THE WORLD WITH THE OUTSER OF SADDAM.

                  PRESIDENT. IN THE NOVEMBER 2004 ISSUE OF ESQUIRE
                  DICK CHENEY MAKES HIS CASE FOR 12 MORE YEARS
                  AND HE WASN'T THINKING OF ANOTHER TERM FOR
                  PRESIDENT BUSH. DO THE MATH

                    rove, chenny,rummy,and rice should all do jail time for doing to the american people and especially the military people the grave injustice that they put us through. hope conners in the house does't allow the repubs. to outsmart him as they have the past few years.
