Could someone please tell me why this fat fuck is giving Barack Obama advice?
Could someone please tell me why this fat ass isn’t sitting in front of Congressional investigators right now?
Could someone please tell me why this asshole isn’t in prison yet?
Rove to Obama: Attacking Palin is dumb
Karl Rove is again offering unsolicited advice to Barack Obama, this time advising the Democratic presidential nominee to avoid attacking Sarah Palin directly if he hopes to win the White House in November.
“It’s a match-up he’ll lose,” Rove writes Thursday in his regular Wall Street Journal column. “If Mr. Obama wants to win, he needs to remember he’s running against John McCain for president, not Mrs. Palin for vice president.”

Federal judge rules Bush’s aides can be subpoenaed
A federal judge on Thursday rejected President Bush’s contention that senior White House advisers are immune from subpoenas, siding with Congress’ power to investigate the executive branch and handing a victory to Democrats probing the dismissal of nine federal prosecutors.
The unprecedented ruling undercut three presidential confidants who have defied congressional subpoenas for information that Bush says is protected by executive privilege. Democrats swiftly announced they would schedule hearings in September, at the height of election season.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House could soon vote on a contempt citation against one of the three officials, Karl Rove, formerly Bush’s top adviser.
“It certainly strengthens our hand,” she said of the ruling. “This decision should send a clear signal to the Bush administration that it must cooperate fully with Congress and that former administration officials Harriet Miers and Karl Rove must testify before Congress.”
In case anyone is wondering where they can find Rove, just check out the green room at FOX studios. He’s been spending plenty of time there lately, what with going on-air and lying his head off, in typical fashion, about anything and everything. Fat, criminal fuckhead.
“We will offer you all the kingdoms of the world if you will come and guide our campaign.”
Do I really need to expound on that comment? Does that not say it all? And even though he may be backing Al Franken’s bid for the Senate, Ben Stein, typical republican, is still full of shit.
Preston on Politics: Bueller? Bueller? — McCain needs Rove
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Ben Stein says he knows how Sen. John McCain can win in November: Karl Rove. [...]
At a time when McCain is seeking to distance himself from President Bush, Stein argues McCain needs to enlist Bush’s chief political guru in order to defeat Sen. Barack Obama.
“I don’t discount the possibility that some really smart person at the McCain campaign might go over to Karl Rove, and say ‘We will offer you all the kingdoms of the world if you will come and guide our campaign,’ ” a hopeful-sounding Stein said in a recent interview, during which he also discussed Al Franken’s Senate bid and his thoughts on a sequel to the 1986 box office smash “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” which launched Stein’s film career.
Rove flips everyone in the House Judiciary subcommittee the bird today… and the tears rolled. It was said the bawling could be heard clear to Connecticut.
A contempt of Congress vote is possible next week, but only if a set of balls (or spine) can be found among members by that time.
Ex-White House Aide Rove Fails to Appear at U.S. House Hearing
July 10 (Bloomberg) — Former White House political director Karl Rove, defying a subpoena, failed to appear before a U.S. House panel investigating whether the Justice Department prosecuted people for political reasons.
Rove’s action today prompted the House Judiciary subcommittee to rule that his reasons for skipping the appearance weren’t valid, setting up a possible contempt of Congress vote next week.
They’re laughing at you, Scotty. They’ve all made a fool out of you. They lied to you and left you with a huge pile of bird shit on your head. Now is your time for vindication!
McClellan: Bush should have fired Rove after leak
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush broke his promise to the country by refusing to fire aide Karl Rove for leaking a CIA agent’s identity, said Scott McClellan, the president’s chief spokesman for almost three years.
“I think the president should have stood by his word and that meant Karl should have left,” McClellan said Sunday in a broadcast interview about his new tell-all book, a scathing rebuke of the White House under Bush’s leadership.
McClellan now acknowledges he felt burned by Rove, Bush’s top political adviser, and I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff. He said Rove and Libby assured him they were not involved in leaking CIA operative Valerie Plame’s identity, and he repeated those assurances to reporters.
From an email I received from Congressman Robert Wexler:
Dear Buck,
Last night, significant news broke that directly impacts our push for Impeachment Hearings and a possible Inherent Contempt charge for Bush Administration officials such as Karl Rove:
Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan has revealed in his upcoming book that:
• Karl Rove, Scooter Libby, and Vice President Cheney lied about their role in revealing the identity of Valerie Plame Wilson - actions easily amounting to obstruction of Justice.
McClellan also admitted that:
• There was a coordinated effort within the Bush Administration to use propaganda to pump up the case for the Iraq war and hide the projected costs of the war from the public.
Former Bush chief strategist Karl Rove deliberately declined to deny his involvement in the controversial prosecution of Don Siegelman, the former Alabama Governor whose arrest on grounds of corruption appeared politically motivated.
In an at times dismissive interview with ABC’s “This Week” Rove said that he would not respond to a subpoena by the House Judiciary Committee imploring his testimony in the Siegelman case. Asked if he had ever made contact with the Justice Department, the man known as Bush’s brain said:
“I read about — I’m going to simply say what I’ve said before, which is I found out about Don Siegelman’s investigation and indictment by reading it in the newspaper.”
“But that’s not a denial,” said the host George Stephanopoulos.
“I’ve — you know, I read - I heard about it, read about it, learned about it for the first time by reading about it in the newspaper,” Rove replied.ÂÂ
The House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed former White House adviser Karl Rove as part of its inquiry into whether the Bush administration politically meddled at the Justice Department.
Accusations of politics governing decisions at the agency led to the resignation of former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
The subpoena issued Thursday orders Rove to testify before the House panel on July 10. He is expected to face questions about the White House’s role in firing nine U.S. attorneys in 2006 and the prosecution of former Gov. Don Siegelman of Alabama, a Democrat.
House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers had negotiated with Rove’s attorneys for more than a year over whether the former top political adviser to President Bush would testify voluntarily.
Karl Rove’s an extremely despicable figure, but it can be helpful to follow his spin because of his strong continuing influence in Republican circles and the MSM. He’s given many an interview and written many a piece attacking Obama at this point, and similar attacks will surely continue, but I’ve been most interested to watch his efforts to protect the brand of the GOP.
The successful GOP plot to have former Democratic governor of Alabama Don Siegelman imprisoned on spurious charges has plenty of twists and turns, but Raw Story’s latest piece on the matter (via DDay) adds some troubling details about a series of break-ins and other crimes committed against targets of the (corrupt) U.S. Attorneys in Alabama: Read more »
John Moody, Fox News’s senior vice president, says Rove was hired because “he’s probably the most quoted, talked-about political strategist of his age. I only worried that someone with his work experience might be too good at keeping secrets when he was on the air. . . . Are we getting a Republican spin? Of course. But that’s what he’s there for. There’s no attempt to conceal that.“
About time for FOX to rethink some of those slogans…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush broke his promise to the country by refusing to fire aide Karl Rove for leaking a CIA agent’s identity, said Scott McClellan, the president’s chief spokesman for almost three years.
