Sorry, I'm not buying "Rove is leaving to concentrate on elections"

[DancingBear]

That boy must be in some deep deep shit on the Fitz front.

No way George lets him go, even in this "wink wink nod nod I'm gone but not really" scenario.

This is a last ditch effort to try and convince ANYONE that * "listens and reacts."

Karl must be standing on the scaffold, and the guy with the black hood is working the sharpening stone...

[benburch]

1. He's leaving?

How did I miss THAT?

[DancingBear]

3. Hell, you were probably stoned

:) :) :)

[Mr_Spock]

12. lol

:rofl:

He's not really leaving - he's going to work the back room sleazy backstabbing politics of destruction again - what he's good at - destroying people for political gain!

:(

[seabeyond]

13. lol lol lol you are funny dancingbear

getting a reputation benburch

thats ok. i got one yesterday too

[havocmom]

21. Can we get some coffee to table one, please?

Gads, even I got it and I'm probably in a different time zone. Possibly a different dimension ;)

Check out my new sig line in honor of the occasion.

[tomp]

2. he's not going anywhere...yet.

as another poster put it, he's going to concentrate on politics--as opposed to what?

[Cassandra]

20. But...but...

he was doing so well with the Katrina reconstruction. Who can be found to take over from that over-achiever? :sarcasm:

[Warpy]

4. I just posted he'd be more palatable to pardon

if he's not officially part of the WH staff.

He will be pardoned, you know. There is no way they'll allow him to be on the hot seat for long. He knows too damned much.

[DancingBear]

5. Yes

I posted somewhere else that this is a pre-emptive strike.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

6. Two days after the Ryan verdict in IL?

heh heh heh

Timing, they say, is all.

Oh, shit, please don't let me get my hope up again. Not this early in the day. I just spend the next eighteen hours crashing.

[DancingBear]

10. Ain't it though?

Repeat after moi:

"Never get in the way of a perfectly good train wreck"

[OldLeftieLawyer]

17. See what happens

the one day in weeks I finally sleep late?

This is going down nicely with the morning coffee.

But we still need a big strong charismatic Democrat to stand up and be a leader that everyone can - must - follow. We can't let this distract us from that serious, serious necessity.

[Mr_Spock]

16. Hmmm, there maybe more to this than the midterms

They really do need his sleazy ass to help destroy dems in the midterms, but there may be more to it than that - I have to admit...

[OldLeftieLawyer]

19. Or, Occam's Razor could be in play here

It is just what it appears to be - a simple purge of things that are going bad, bad, bad fast.

Fitzgerald just might be scaring the White House a whole fuck of a lot more than we know.

They're not THAT insane not to know that he's doing his job.

[shenmue]

7. He could be...

leaving to concentrate on stealing the next election. Like last time.

[gratuitous]

8. I agree with your analysis

Hee, hee, I said "urinalysis."

{Ahem} Like Kremlinologists of yore, it's up to us to divine the significance of minor signals out of this, the most secretive White House in history. These guys don't make policy or personnel changes unless there's something big coming up. Whatshisname Safavian resigned on Friday afternoon to be indicted on Monday morning. But all the news could then report was that he was a "former" White House official. Yeah, "former" by 72 hours!

Rove's in trouble, something's coming down the pike for him. And they want to be sure they can refer to him as "formerly" one of Bush's closest advisers.

[Mz Pip]

9. It's really getting bad for the Repugs

I'm not surprise that they would have Rove concentrate on the mid-terms. They need all they help the can get and Rove is the best character assassin they have.

Maybe we'll get lucky and an indictment will come down, but that really won't change anything. Even Mafia guys can work from prison.

Mz Pipo
:dem:

[Infomaniac]

11. I thought the same thing. Rove waiting to be indicted.

Let's see who Rove decides to demonize next.

[Avalux]

14. He'll still be a bug in Bush's ear - don't let them fool you.

There is no way in hell Bush can operate without Rove pulling his strings.

[peekaloo]

15. so many combat veterans to smear so little time.

like a cockroach he's going back into hiding.

[Mr_Spock]

18. Yes, this is SO true

back to backroom politics of personal destruction...
