Can Bush Survive Without Rove?
Wednesday, July 13, 2005
By Jane Roh

Bush's Brain. The Architect. Boy Genius. Fired?

Karl Rove (search), the 54-year-old political maverick who helped mold George W. Bush (search) from the aimless son of an influential politician into the most powerful man in the world, now finds himself at the center of the president's second-term scandal: the leak of CIA officer Valerie Plame's (search) identity.

President Bush said last year that if someone in his administration leaked the name of a CIA agent, that person would no longer be in his administration. But the fate of Rove, the White House deputy chief of staff who discussed the agent with a Time magazine reporter in 2003, remains to be seen.

Many who've been at the receiving end of a Rovian political pummeling say they believe the scrutiny of their former nemesis is a long time coming.

"The character flaw or strength, whatever you want to call it, that got him in this jam is his win-at-any-cost philosophy," said Democratic strategist Ray Strother.

1. Looks like they know, what we know.... Rove is going down

however they are trying to spin it, that even if that happens, it's really no big deal...

[Stirk]

2. Even Bush's sycophants know he's an idiot man-boy.

Isn't that weird? What sort of man needs a babysitter just to keep his job?

6. "What sort of man ...

... needs a babysitter just to keep his job?"

The operative word here being "man".

DUH-bya is such a mouth breather, holding his nose for 3-4 minutes would put and end to his career. He couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag without help.

3. I'd feel better if I knew

that Rove and the WH couldn't communicate after he's fired, if/when that happens.

4. Can Bush survive without Faux News?

5. It's like

Charlie McCarthy fires Edgar Bergen.
He'll be lost.

[madeline_con]

7. "He'll be lost."

Exactamundo! Who'd animate his brainless ass?

8. I love the dem Strother's line about Rove

""I find him a very pleasant guy and good guy to drink beer with," Strother said.

Isn't that Rove's redneck meme about our dumbfuck president?

10. Can Fox News survive without Rove?

They will need a new program director. Or perhaps they will just hire him.

[gratuitous]

11. What? Are they talking about President Steely-Eyed Resolve?

The straightforward, straight-talking born-again master of the Crawford Ranch? The brave flyboy who succeeded wildly at every business venture he ever turned his hand to? The military genius who who overthrew a ruthless dictator in Iraq? Survive? Hah!

As long has he's got his wubby and his thumb, George W. Bush will be just fine. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the United States and the world.

[Pithy Cherub]

12. Rove goes and bush becomes a political Humpty Dumpty.

Snott McClellan is just takin' the practice whippings.

[proud2BlibKansan]

13. Who the hell is Wayne Slater?

"I didn't see a Democratic strategy in 2004 that was even close to the depth and detail of the Rove machine. The way he has changed politics is not that the tactics are different; he has simply raised it to a new level."

"He's amoral. He doesn't set up a plan to damage, defeat or destroy his enemies because he's evil. He does it because he's so unbelievably competitive and amoral that that's the result," Slater said. "He happens to be a genius, a political genius. Whatever gifts Bush has, he needed the political genius of Rove."

14. Faux is still whoring it up

15. Oh, "his win-at-any-cost philosophy," let's celebrate THAT.

Let's hoist the flag in salute to Cap'n Karl and his willingness to fuck over anyone who gets between him and his desire to "win."

REMEMBER...like Bill Frist said, if you don't agree with President Bush, it's religious persecution. You not only hate us for our freedoms, you hate Jesus too.

I am so fucking sick of these people I've run out of ways to express it.
