Oh, "F" ME...now PICKLES is "standing by her very good friend Karl Rove"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

WASHINGTON -- Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper, a key figure in the Karl Rove controversy, showed up at U.S. District Court on Wednesday. The grand jury investigating the leak was meeting, and it was expected Cooper would testify. He did not comment while entering the courthouse.

Meanwhile, President Bush and first lady Laura Bush are standing by Rove, whose role in the leak of an undercover CIA officer's identity has prompted Democrats to call for dismissal of the president's top political adviser.

Mrs. Bush, talking to reporters while traveling in Africa on Wednesday, called Rove "a very good friend" whom the Bushes have known for many years.

"It would be irresponsible for me to speculate on any of it," she said, "so I think I'll leave the speculation to you all and I'll leave the investigation" to the prosecutor.

1. Shut up, Laura Bush!

What credibility do you have?

[skids]

2. I guess they wanted a *female*

...to cast Rove as a "very good friend" rather than Scotty... because that raises old questions about a certain night-club in Austin.

[terrya]

3. Next up...Jenna and Barbara

"We've known Uncle Karl for years. It's irresponsible for us to speculate on any of it"

4. Eeeewwwww, Gawd, the faces !!! Yuck !! Uuuggggleeee !!

The Stepford Wife and the Wicked Bitch of the West.

:puke::puke::puke:

26. The joker and Mr. freeze

[RobertSeattle]

5. Laura's Bush's HUSBAND is an a-hole

See, I didn't NAME HIM!!!

[jojo54]

6. Ever notice that she's got the more classic puppet smile

than W? She's got the cheeks, the slight curve of her top lip, and the U shaped bottom lip. Anybody see strings???

[rkc3]

12. I'm thinking Jack Nicholson as the Joker - except more terrifying.

[Contrary1]

23. Whatever are you talking about?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[rkc3]

27. There's goes any thought of eating dinner tonight.

What's funny is the Joker wears less makeup than she does.

[n2doc]

7. In the "Rovian" spirit

Just how "good" a friend is Karl, Laura? Can you describe any "distinguishing marks" on him? Inquiring minds want to know! I mean, it must be lonely there with hubby spending so much time in private conferences with Condi....

[Enraged_Ape]

14. Rove doesn't play for that team

Jeff Gannon provides everything he needs.

[n2doc]

24. OK, I can go with that

So Laura, have you and Karl and Jeff spent any "entertaining" evenings together? Being a proper first lady, can we presume that you only watched? Or did they need a little "encouragement"? :evilgrin: :spank:

[whatever4]

8. I hope they lose this idiotic gambit nt

[htuttle]

9. Let's hope they ALL lash themselves to Karl Rove!

So when turdboy sinks into the depths, he drags the entire fucking Republican party down to Davy Jones Locker with him.

[tubbacheez]

10. So are Presidential advisors chosen for loyalty or skill?

Pickles is sinking her hubby's boat. She may think she's offering the aid of a good character reference, but emphasizing how tight they are with Rove is just leans people toward implicating Shrub.

If Rove is such a very good friend of them, the Shrubs might wind up being accomplices in the crime. Since these three are claimed to be so close, how much did Chimpy know?

[Enraged_Ape]

15. It's time for Bush to say, "That Rove fellow, I barely know him."

Hey, it worked with Ken Lay.

[tubbacheez]

18. With that Lay fellow, the Great American Bicycle Tumbler didn't have...

... wifey-poo rowing in the other direction.

"Oh, what a tangled web we weave... "

[Vickers]

11. Subpoena that dumb cow

If she's so close with him, she probably knows some stuff about this, too.

[richmwill]

13. Sigh....

I really don't get them, I guess I'll never get them. For 8 years I had to hear them create stories about and exaggerate everything Clinton did. The Republicans blamed him for everything he did (admittedly) wrong during his terms, they did it right down to blaming him for when they stubbed their toes in the morning ("Ow, my toe- it's Clinton's fault, damnit!"). Now when it's their "Good Ol' Boy" it's "He did nothing wrong. Rove deserves a medal, if anything! Bush is the greatest President we've ever had, for standing up for his advisor". Can someone please explain it to me? Please?

[Norquist Nemesis]

16. They're really getting desperate, aren't they?

They pull her out whenever the base is uneasy.

[applegrove]

17. Sad when you have a job and the wife is the only one

people will believe.

Would you buy a car if the salesman's wife showed up to explain the finer points?

[Kazak]

19. "a very good friend"

Yeah, that and a quarter'll get her a cup of coffee... :crazy:

[peekaloo]

20. trotting out the wifey again for support. Has Bar called him "like a son"

yet?

[aden_nak]

21. That photo looks like a poorly staged SNL skit.

What's pathetic is that it's real.

[Pithy Cherub]

22. My, they are desperate to have the Plastic Pickle Woman

speak! She's more popular than her husband so maybe, more people will believe her.:eyes: *'s connection to heaven is temporarily disconnected due to nonpayment of heavenly good deeds.

they are trotting out pickels to do the pResident's job - it is really bad. And only the wingnuts are speaking up, where's Harpy Hagel, Freedom Fries Frist, Curious George Allen, Loopy Lugar, Bobblehead Bennett, they are MIA or maybe they now have CIA, operational cover and it would be a crime to out themselves!

:nopity: Go Dill Pickles, Go!

[Politicub]

25. I'm sure the Bushies are depending on Rove to orchestrate the coverup

What will happen is that Rove will bring them all down with him. He has no allegience but to himself (well, and maybe the Dark Lord).

This is so stupid - Laura coming on stage and saying, "I loves me some Rove. mmmm mmm. He so nice."

:wtf:

[whistle]

28. That face is as plastic and expressionless as a mannequin's....

...completely frozen in place except for the movement of the lower jaw up and down.
