[Halliburton]

http://www.aei.org/events/filter.all/events.asp

Did the Rover have to cancel?

[giant_robot]

1. Great catch, Hal!

Oh, please let this story be true!

[sable302]

2. he he he...

It could be a bit of confirmation, one might think.

[napi21]

3. I TOLD YA!!!!! I just responded to a post about him speaking tomorrow.

My response was Betcha this one gets canceled!

[IndyOp]

15. On edit: He *was* scheduled to speak at AEI on Monday, May 15th...

ABC News: May 15, 2006: White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove addresses selected media members at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, DC

<http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/TheNote/story?id=140388 >

This establishes that he WAS scheduled to speak, now was it on the AEI site and then removed in the past 24 hours or so?

----------

This is from the London Times (online) Sunday:

Karl Rove, Bush’s closest adviser, will come out fighting tomorrow with a speech in Washington on the economy. It will address what the White House is calling the “greatest story never told”: why Bush is not getting the credit for a growing economy.

<http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2089-2179410,00... >

[Halliburton]

24. a poster at Talkleft said that it had suddenly disappeared

I'm trying to get more info.

[IndyOp]

25. Okay! Lots of posts below have links to announcement of the AEI

appearance by Rove that was scheduled for Monday. It must've been listed on the AEI site - it was a *big* event for them.

Good luck!

[caligirl]

32. Also means Fitz press conf. Monday AM

[anoraksia53]

47. how so? n/t

[Qutzupalotl]

45. "why Bush is not getting the credit for a growing economy"?

Maybe it's all those nice Chinese financiers willing to lend us money for a while longer?

[Skinner]

4. You sure about that?

The google cache doesn't show anything involving Rove:

http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ae...

[skids]

13. Unfortunately no wayback machine either...

...looks like they stopped monitoring this URL in 2005.

Would be nice to know if this was for real... would be nicer if they put "event cancelled" like they did for the Venezuela one on that same page.

[IndyOp]

18. ABC News & London Times: Rove was scheduled to speak at AEI Monday...

See my post above or below in this thread...

Now if only we had screen shots of the AEI page with the announcement. It seems safe to expect that AEI would have had a Rove speech posted, but then again without seeing a screen shot, I can't get overly excited...

[Maddy McCall]

27. Unless there's proof that the info ever was on the AEI page, the fact...

that it's not there is completely irrelevant.

[Maddy McCall]

26. No. There's no proof that it was ever on the website.

But proof isn't important to some people.

[IndyOp]

33. Halliburton is reporting here of an observation from someone over at

Talkleft -- that the event suddenly disappeared from the coming events page.

If the person who posted at Talkleft can cough up a screenshot and if the explanation at the bottom of this thread does not explain away the 'disappearing event', then...

K sera sera


On edit: Mispelling intentional. The explanation at the bottom of the page is that Karl's address is still listed on the site, just no longer on the main event announcement page, because - perhaps - the event reached maximum attendance capacity.

[Maddy McCall]

37. I'll not hold my breath waiting for that screen shot.

It is, after all, still on the same website here:

(When reading tea leaves, it helps to look in the correct cup.)

I find AEI's job description for KKKarl to be quite interesting.
"Karl Rove, senior advisor to the president and deputy chief of staff"

[senseandsensibility]

5. Interesting

And it was on there before, I gather?

[Justice Is Comin]

6. Whoops.

I'll recommend this.

[IndyOp]

7. I couldn't get it to load - what did it look like when it was there?

What does it look like now? I don't suppose you have screen shots?

On Edit: I looked, but again - what did it look like before it 'disappeared'?

[WhiteTara]

54. here are two links

Before
http://www.aei.org/events/type.upcoming,eventID.1338,fi...

Today
http://www.aei.org/events/filter.all/events.asp

I wonder if he is changing his depends too often to be able to speak?

[IndyOp]

55. That's not the same page...

The main page does not list Rove, but an 'internal page' does. Maybe the announcement was removed from the main page because the event was full?

Maybe he has cancelled. Maybe he will give the speech as planned.

Maybe he will speak on a new topic -> "I was framed!"

The two links you shared hint that maybe it is cancelled, but don't demonstrate it conclusively. A screenshot of the main page before the event was removed might be a little better indicator, but still...

[Dinger]

8. Oh My! It's Comin' Folks! Fasten Your Seatbelts!

By the was, I don't believe that rOVER is the last domino either.

P.S. K & R

[KAT119]

56. We still have the 'White House Iraq Group"( WHIG) All involved in Plame!!

Will look for this key list (includes Condi & approx. 20 others). They were a tight team that planned the Iraq war propagand--they did the "work-up"
on Wilson etc. etc.etc.

Their hands are on all of the blood and treason of this admin.

[WiseButAngrySara]

9. Tee he! Maybe a speech fro jail about our freedums & liberties! ..n/t

[annabanana]

10. oh my!

D'ya think?

[HereSince1628]

11. Interesting!

Not enough to convince me Rove is indicted, but very interesting in light of the story.

[Ksec]

12. Good catch and telling IMO

You need to get a job in the INTEL business.

[Justice Is Comin]

14. First event showing is

Tuesday May 16th. Fate Of The Earth.

How prophetic.

21. Wall Street Journal blog entry

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2006/05/11/rove-speaks /

May 11, 2006, 9:27 am
Rove Speaks

President Bush’s embattled political aide, Karl Rove, emerges back in public next Monday with a speech at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington. The think tank bills it as “a policy address,” but Rove, largely removed from his policy role in the White House under new chief of staff Josh Bolten, is likely to lay out the latest Republican strategy for mid-term elections. The audience will also be watching closely for any words, or body language, about the latest twists in Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald’s leak investigation.

[Kingofalldems]

28. There's no way he would cancel a speech before AEI unless

Something really went wrong. I was hesitant to believe but now my hopes are up.

[lawyerbitesjudge]

29. Rove Speech is Still in AEI Database

It may have been removed from the events page because (according to the page for the speech) registration to attend the speech is closed and no walk-up registrations will be accepted.

Here's the link for the speech: http://www.aei.org/events/type.upcoming,eventID.1338,fi...

38. Oh, I don't know...

I think you are imagining things.

[ProSense]

35. That's not exactly accurate

Maybe they just don't want to publicize it anymore:

Click on the May 12 event it also indicates:

Online registration for this event is closed. Walk-in registrations will be accepted.

[Halliburton]

36. it still should be up there

as Prosense indicates. the may 12th event is listed on the page despite the fact that registration was closed but Rove's is not for some reason.

[genieroze]

49. That's what I found out

[newyawker99]

58. Hi lawyerbitesjudge!!

Welcome to DU!!

[Cha]

34. Whether or not, it seems rove isn't such

a hotshot anymore. I was just leafing through a Vanity Fair from July 2005 and an article by Michael Wolff called "The power of rove" caught my eye.

It states.."For spooked and frustrated liberals, karl rove emobodies everything evil in American politics. How has bush's top strategist managed to outmaneuver and elude them at every turn? Perhaps because he isn't interested in anything but politics: the old-fashioned, down-and-dirty, unglamorous, winning kind.." ..less than a year ago.

rove got so down and dirty that his brain's recipient is now in the 20's with the American public..below freezing.

[Bumblebee]

39. This thread made it to Buzzflash

Karl Rove Indicted on Charges of Perjury, Lying to Investigators
By Jason Leopold
t r u t h o u t | Report

Saturday 13 May 2006

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald spent more than half a day Friday at the offices of Patton Boggs, the law firm representing Karl Rove.

During the course of that meeting, Fitzgerald served attorneys for former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove with an indictment charging the embattled White House official with perjury and lying to investigators related to his role in the CIA leak case, and instructed one of the attorneys to tell Rove that he has 24 business hours to get his affairs in order, high level sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said Saturday morning.
...

[upi402]

57. "24 hrs to get his affairs in order" -FROG MARCH!???

Or round up his prostitutes?

[newyawker99]

59. Hi huck500!!

Welcome to DU!!

[boston bean]

53. wow!

[Riverman]

60. So what's he doing talking to the AEI in CNN right now?

[jenmito]

61. I watched that on CNN...did you hear his intro?...

It was very KKKryptic-The guy introducing him said something about "Even though the sharks are unfairly circling and circling him he's continuing with his obligations..." (paraphrasing, but it was even more than that. He said maybe two sentences about this).
