Deputy chief of staff and presidential political adviser Karl Rove jokingly salutes, Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2005, as he walks from the White House. Lawyers representing key White House officials expected Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald to decide as early as Wednesday whether to charge I. "Scooter" Libby, who is Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff and Rove in the leak of a CIA officer's identity. (AP Photo/Ron Edmonds)

1. Gotta get those joke salutes in quick...

before the cuffs go on.

[MemphisTiger]

2. Tell him he'll be saluting his cellmate soon

[spooky3]

23. LOL!

[Missy M]

3. So this is just one big joke to Karl Rove. What an arrogant ass that...

creep is. He has no respect for the law of the land.

[ticapnews]

4. Boy is that offensive.

I wish my WWI and WWII veteran grandfather were still around to knock that smug look off that traitor's face.

5. "Yes sir, Bruno, I'll bend over and get that soap you dropped"

[truthisfreedom]

6. watch for more unusual behavior at the white house during the next 2 days.

these people are not running the country. they're twiddling their thumbs while their hearts race. they're breathing using paper bags. doctors are administering beta blockers.

[AFSCME girl]

7. Arrogant bastard...n/t

:grr:

[displacedtexan]

8. Is this KKKarl's way of saying good bye?

I'm surprised he didn't employ his usual salute:

[soothsayer]

9. Ggo lie down under an airplane wheel again you fat fucking pasty

asshat

[Writer]

10. Behold the narcissist.

This man believes himself to be untouchable. So much so that he can afford acting like a recalcitrant child.

[Pachamama]

27. Behold the Sociopath....a narcissistic one at that....n/t

[MaineDem]

11. Morituri te salutamus

We who are about to die salute you. The gladiator's address before a fight.

Poor Karl...

[htuttle]

12. He reminds me of Fred Scuttle when he does that...

[Nordmadr]

13. THAT disrespects the troops.

He is not in the military chain of command, and yet pokes fun at a military greeting in this day and age. Disgraceful for someone working at the top levels of government to make light of such a thing during a time of war.

14. Rove is stupid. The more he does this kind of crap,

the more people will enjoy his demise.

Stan Goff once said, "the higher the monkey climbs up in the tree, the more you see nothing but his ass". How true about Karl Rove.

[AnneD]

15. Refresh my failing memory

but which branch of the military did he serve in....oh yeh, he DIDN'T. That explains the smirk. Anyone that served would NEVER EVER smirk....ass clown. Oh it's a 45 degree angle not 65.

[GregW]

16. Another classic salute to add to the BFEE gallery ...

18. Perhaps he is saluting at one of the 2000 coffins

he and his buddies are responsible for. That would explain his smirk.

[No Exit]

19. Disrespectful to the TROOPS!!! (You know--those people that

are mentioned in that magnetic/msgic ribbon which everyone is supposed to have on their car?)

[DenaliDemocrat]

20. He's not saluting

He is showing everyone how big the dicks are gonna be that he is going to get rammed up his hole in the pokey (uhhh, you do know there IS a reason they call it the pokey don't you KKKarl?)

[mitchum]

21. Smarmy fat fuck

[Tinksrival]

22. Hate to read this but....

saw this posted on the Note by Steve Clemons:

The one interesting tidbit that came my way by way of an unnamed senior American journalist is this:

My sense is that the Rove team is feeling more confident today, the Libby team despondent
This is quite fascinating -- and could mean nothing. . .or everything. If Rove did not receive a letter yesterday and Libby did -- then Rove may have missed a bullet.

Alternative, Rove may be cited for lying to an FBI officer and not with full-fledged perjury and obstruction of justice, which many think Libby will be facing.

But there is also this:

What I have learned is that the Office of the Special Counsel has signed a lease this week for expanded office space across the street at 1401 New York Avenue, NW.

Another coincidence? More office space needed to shut down the operation?

I think not. Fitzgerald's operation is expanding.

24. A different kinda salute: the 'original' photo:

[tulsakatz]

25. he looks like a little kid.........n/t

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

26. Yes, it reminded me of John Kennedy Jr.'s salute to his

fallen daddy, when he was only 3.




Now that you mention it, there is something about Rove in that photo that does seem child-like.
