Novak: Rove Will Retire From Politics After Bush Term

[burythehatchet]

Rove's Retirement: To little notice in the national media, Bush presidential adviser Karl Rove disclosed during a Washington speaking engagement last week that he will not return to his lifetime profession as a political consultant when he leaves the White House. Rove referred to himself as "a former political consultant" and said that he was leaving the game.

GOOD RIDDANCE you freak. You have done more to destroy the integrity of our political system than anyone in my lifetime. May you suffer as much as the suffering you have caused other good people. Go to hell.

1. Why wouldn't he? He has made millions of dollars for commiting horrible crimes

[acmavm]

20. True. Very true. And when is someone going to look into the way

the bastard made his millions?

I would certainly imagine that there might be an indictable offense in there somewhere.

[ComerPerro]

21. that's also a good incentive to retire with his money

he can hope people forget about it

[TwilightZone]

2. Democrats to Rove: we already retired you, thanks.

I think the outcome of the '06 elections "retired" Rove.

3. Damaged goods - no one wants to higher him after the Bush cluster fuckup.

4. When's Novak going to retire?

What pointless individual.

8. Vampires don't retire

they just get fresh blood. The Douchebag of Liberty may never die.

[Norquist Nemesis]

5. It's core to who he is

I don't believe for a second that he's going to suddenly go cold turkey on politics.

[Warpy]

6. Is that a threat or a promise?

It doesn't really matter, he's undoubtedly trained a whole platoon of brash young thirtysomethings with not a single conscience or glimmer of empathy among them in how to violate the law, dissolve the group, and then go on to form new groups just in time for the next election.

He's filth and he's trained his replacements. Plural.

10. its a depressing thought

the legions of brownshirts on college campuses who are learning the tools of fascism.

[KansDem]

7. DId he tell Novak this before or after he told him about Plame?

You know, that act of treason for which no one is being held accountable...

[dysfunctional press]

9. of course- he's got LOTS of money to spend...

and stock options to convert.

and male prostitutes to frequent.

11. Speaking of Rove and Novak what's going on with Libby?

I haven't heard diddly about the CIA leak in ages

[burythehatchet]

13. the whole matter will be closed after Libby is sentenced

and then pardoned. Treason is not such a big deal in this administration.

[zbdent]

12. Wormtongue wasn't gone until

the hobbits killed him ... I'm sure he's still "in touch" ...

[dazzlerazzle]

14. Rove at the top of my "just go away" list

Others:
Kissinger
Frist (success)
Fallwell
Gingrich
Pat Robertson
John Bolton (success)
Rick Santorum (maybe success)
Kathryn Harris (likely success)
Limbaugh
Hannity
Mary Matalin

15. I guess he didn't get that "permanent Republican majority" that he wanted.

[Morgana LaFey]

16. America will be the better for it -- and it can't happen too soon. nt

[hvn_nbr_2]

17. He wants to spend more time in Rumbo's torture chamber. nt

[warrens]

18. Translation: Please don't prosecute me. NT

[Cleita]

19. If there is any justice, he will be retiring to the slammer I hope. n/t
