"Benedict Rove"

[bobemm]

Ok, so. Everybody is all "yay, a crack in the façade!" - I, however, still am not counting my eggs. If I had to bet one way or the other, I'd bet that Rove has a pretty big ace up his sleeve. Consider this -

1) Rove gave Cooper the ok to name him, even though Cooper was fully prepared to keep his mouth shut and go to jail. Why would Rove have done this if he didn't know he could beat it?

2) The mainstream media is all over this. If this were a real Bush Administration scandal, they'd be ignoring it, wouldn't they?

I'd love to be convinced that I'm wrong.

I wonder how Bush will react. Will he die on the spot, no brain.

I think Rove sucks Bush's essence at night, imbuing Georgette with life for yet another night.

As I learned from JROTC... point your finger at everyone BUT the president! :)

ROVE IS EVIL

Rove has an ace up his sleeve, and I'm worried!

He seems a bit smug...

Never show your opponents that you are fearful, it is like a guilty face, blood in the water :-)

Oh, I understand as much--

However, it seems he's got a penchant for taunting people.

And, with his position, he's basically infallible. Especially in a second-term. Court action, if any, would take years, and, as he's played his cards, everything else about him is circumstantial, so he's good as gold.

It's just a good way to make me and others pissy!

Dems and others need to get awy from the court stuff and focus on the appearance of wrongdoing or abuse of power. Dirty tricks, poor form for a leader. The deception. Just fry him in public opinion get him to answer to the American people and forget the court shit, he woudl get a pardon frm Bush anyway.

[alex-jon.livejournal.com]

Oh, very true.

But the dems feel empowered by the courts... and yet, they should know by now that they're about to get scuttled by an increasingly conservative court system

[cowboymarine.livejournal.com]

The advantage is now, not in the future. They need to stop getting tied up in procedure and go for the nuts.

[alex-jon.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure it's that easy for them... they have a hard time lately not playing the victim card.

[cowboymarine.livejournal.com]

LOL... You mean the LOOSER CARD!

We need to kick them in the fuckin nuts and be done with it.

[cowboymarine.livejournal.com]

LOL...

Don't start!
