Rove Resigns!!!!!
Edited on Mon Aug-13-07 04:37 AM by Bunny
I just heard on ABC News that he is resigning and returning to Texas, for "the sake of his family". I think they said his last day is the end of this month.

Edit, per the Wall Street Journal:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118698747711695773.html...


<snip>
Karl Rove, President Bush's longtime political adviser, is resigning as White House deputy chief of staff effective Aug. 31, and returning to Texas, he said in an interview with Paul Gigot, editor of The Wall Street Journal's editorial page. (See related editorial.)

Read the editorial by The Wall Street Journal's editorial page editor, Paul Gigot, on his interview with Karl Rove.Mr. Rove, who has held a senior post in the White House since President Bush took office in January 2001, told Mr. Gigot he first floated the idea of leaving a year ago. But he delayed his departure as, first, Democrats took Congress, and then as the White House tackled debates on immigration and Iraq, he said. He said he decided to leave after White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten told senior aides that if they stayed past Labor Day they would be obliged to remain through the end of the president's term in January 2009.

"I just think it's time," Mr. Rove said in the interview. "There's always something that can keep you here, and as much as I'd like to be here, I've got to do this for the sake of my family." Mr. Rove and his wife have a home in Ingram, Texas, and a son who attends college in nearby San Antonio.


In the interview, Mr. Rove said he expects Democrats to give the 2008 presidential nomination to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, whom he described as "a tough, tenacious, fatally flawed candidate." He also said Republicans have "a very good chance" to hold onto the White House in next year's elections.

Bush adviser Rove says he'll leave at end of August
By MarketWatch
Last Update: 4:20 AM ET Aug 13, 2007


LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Karl Rove, President Bush's longtime political adviser, told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published on Monday that he's going to resign on Aug. 31 and return to Texas.

"I just think it's time," Rove said in the interview with the newspaper. "There's always something that can keep you here, and as much as I'd like to be here, I've got to do this for the sake of my family." Read interview at WSJ.com

Rove said he expects Democrats to give the 2008 presidential nomination to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, whom he described as "a tough, tenacious, fatally flawed candidate."

He also said Republicans have "a very good chance" to hold onto the White House in next year's elections.


You weren't teasing. :)

114. Can't disagree with your characterization of Rove!
But I'm thinking that they've only shifted a lightening rod to someplace else. He might not be a physical presence in the White House after this month, but there's no way he's going to keep his pudgy fingers out of things. He'll just be exercizing his evil machinations from someplace that doesn't have the press crawling all over it. That said, I do wonder if removing himself from the
White House also removes him from the ability to ignore Congress.

This man is the epitome of evil. Poor Bush is just stupid. Rove pulls the puppet strings. He's probably off to retire with his billions in Dubai.

And Gonzo trip to Iraq? Havocdad said it must have been a HUGE money pick up if they couldn't send a lower level flunky for it this time. Rove's severance bribe pay? Must be some kick-ass golden parachute. Wonder what he held out for. Halliburton must have winched.

132. I'm calling it neocon tough love
I began to wonder about Rove retiring a couple of months ago. It suddenly hit me. What if Karl left before the eight years is up? What would Dubya do? Could he really pull off anything without Rove working the phones, hanging the lights and marking the cue cards?

I decided then that if Karl left fairly soon, that was a bad sign. Would Bush see it as a betrayal? Would he wonder who is next? Gonzales may protect this president legally and Cheney is always the snapping canine, but Karl was in charge of the flim flam and media manipulation. If Karl leaves, it will just be Bush, the crooked sheriff and the junk yard dog. Let's see them maintain that cowboy image now. Yeehaw.

I think they're all going to wash their hands of him but maybe I'm just wishing.

167. Humm how about at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner
And, of course, we can't forget the man of the hour, new press secretary, Tony Snow. Secret Service name, "Snow Job." Toughest job. What a hero. Took the second toughest job in government, next to, of course, the ambassador to Iraq.
Got some big shoes to fill, Tony. Big shoes to fill. Scott McClellan could say nothing like nobody else. McClellan, of course, eager to retire. Really felt like he needed to spend more time with Andrew Card's children.Mr. President, I wish you hadn't made the decision so quickly, sir.

52. no, not for mittens - THOMPSON (fred)
I highly doubt rove will just spend time with his family - most likely scenario is he will be on one of the republic's campaign... but who

consider this: Fred Thompson

- from various articles it's been said Thompson will "officially declare" around Labor Day. Rove's resignation is for end of August, this leaves him free to migrate from bush's brain to thompson's brain

- other articles have hinted Thompson is pretty tight with the bushies, and the bushies are encouraging him to run

and then there's this press release: a coincidence? wouldn't bet on that, talks between thompson and rove have probably been going on for a couple of months...

Fred Thompson Ready To Merge In Iowa
Washington D.C. 8/12/2007 10:52 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)
http://www.transworldnews.com/NewsStory.aspx?storyid=20...


Past Senator Fred Thompson is planning to make his first Iowa tour as a presidential view next week, a growth that is anticipated to reset the Republican field in the caucus state in the arousal of the GOP straw survey in Ames on Saturday.

"Then the campaign for the caucuses begins," said John Maxwell, chief adviser to U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Ia. "There are going to be players leaving the stage after Saturday, and so it is going to be a new lineup."

---snip---

Thompson is likely to officially proclaim his application for the GOP nomination in September

103. BINGO! That was my FIRST thought too! Nothing with Rover is
ever this simple nor is it ever unplanned! There HAD to be a reason Freddie has been waiting and waiting to declare. Even after many talking heads have been saying they think he might have waited TOO long already. The timing of this resignation and declaration is just too damn close!

120. Interesting, isn't it? And, if it happens, what role
will Rove have played? Pressuring the media to create an aura of inevitability about her candidacy and praising her to the heavens? All the while working quietly and intently, gathering an arsenal of innuendo and lies and filth with which to attack her before the last bit of confetti has hit the floor at the Dem convention in Denver....

We haven't seen the last of Karl Rove.

178. She was sentenced around September 21, 2001
She got one year prison and three years probation, so she has been out a while. Republicans claim she was a Democrat. I doubt it.


Juanita Yvette Lozano, 31, a former low-level aide to Bush's media adviser, Mark McKinnon, was sentenced Friday after pleading guilty in June to charges of perjury and mail fraud.

. . .

In addition to the prison term and fine, U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks also gave Lozano a three-year probation period the maximum penalty under law. The probationary phase will begin after Lozano's one-year prison term.

147. I think he'll be working on Coup Version 2008
Seriously, besides his legal wrangles, my first thought was Rove aiding and abetting the 2008 GOP coup (president and otherwise) - he'd be restrained in doing all his dirty trick-illegalities in the WH while so many Americans are holding Congress's feet to the fire demanding accountability. Shoot, the poor guy can't even sneak behind America's back and use his clandestine email addys anymore in the WH!

On the other hand, I'm hoping someone squealed and Congress has finally the goods on Rove and all the fraud he perpetuated during the past elections or even something else we are not even aware of - I mean he had his dirty hands in just about everything!

202. It's just a carnie con game.
Edited on Tue Aug-14-07 02:59 AM by Ladyhawk
The Republicans will distance themselves from Bush. It's all part of the plan. Meanwhile the Democrats are, at best, ineffectual and, at worst, part of the dog and pony show. The public grows disgusted with both parties, but will let the Dems have it for not showing some spine. It's all part of the plan. Bill and Hillary are thick as thieves with Poppy Bush and the corporations. I don't trust the rest of the Dems, either.

Keep your eyes on ol' Karl the carnie's hands as he moves the cups around on the table. Which one conceals the nut? You'll guess incorrectly every. single. time. But it doesn't even matter. It's not about the nut under the cup, anyway. It's about something else, somewhere else. Something that doesn't even register because your focus is on the game, the meaningless, pointless game.

Call your representative. Write your senator. Buy blue. Protest every week. Man the phones. Walk the precinct. Vote for the candidate of your choice. Yes, by all means, focus on the meaningless, pointless game.

You think you have a choice, but Karl the carnie makes the choice for you...a choice that doesn't even matter because as you spend your energy focusing on the game, the other carnies from both sides of Midway steal in to pick your pockets.

Hey, if he resigns, that means Executive Privilege no longer applies to him, huh?

Not that he would concede to appearing under oath.

Or if he DID appear, doesn't mean he'd tell the truth.

Oy, my head is spinning.

I do hope this is true, but as I said, I'm almost afraid to believe it.

WOW - I fell asleep with the TV on and just woke up to the news that Rove Resigns. WOW. Am I dreaming? Will I really wake up and find that this isn't so?

It's just sinking in. Something is up. Wonder what it is? Either someone or some committee is getting close to getting to him. Or - it's time that he begin to work for the next Repug candidate for Pres. All kinds of things are going through my mind.

Is it FitzMas?

Even if it is not = Merry FitzMas to all and to Rove a goodnight.

It will be interesting to hear the talking heads analyze this. What will Tweety say?

Would love to hear Randi's take on this - but she's on an Alaskan cruise.

Do you think this was part of a deal that caused the Dems to cave on FISA? We'll vote in favor of you George - but you got to get rid of Rove.

Did Cheney win the power struggle in *CO?

Could we consider this a 'frogmarch' out of the WH?

Did he and Chimpy have a falling out? Is he going to spill the beans?

Will he have to honor the subpoena's now?

What is up?

What will the Chimp's statement be? What will Cheney say? What will be Letterman's Top Ten Reasons Why Rove Resigned?

Is it the end of the world?

And Bush did not seem to be as sad that he is leaving as I would have expected had Rove really resigned. We are not being shown/told the truth about what is going on. Let's just see what happens.

And it might be one of Dad's guys -- Gillespie -- who goes in now???

Still, if Cheney had wanted Rove out -- Bush might still have asked Dad for ideas on replacements?

Did Cheney think that Rove had let too much out re the Plame scandal?

Too much in the records, perhaps?

My absolute first thought was, "he's resigning from that job so that he can concentrate on other devious ways to get Republicans into power".

Now that you mention the fact that Cheney is IT, I'm even more scared.

Not feeling comfortable about this at all.

149. If you noticed in DOJ corruption, CHENEY IS THERE . . . .
I think it's Cheney all the way --

Which might make 2008 election even a more dangerous time --

Was Cheney completely happy with what Rove told the Feds on the Plame scandal?

It came pretty close to Cheney --

I don't think Rove was happy at WH after Plame scandal -- I think it's right there that

51. Do You Think * Knew This Was Coming Down Or Will He Be Shocked?.......
I got to think that this was planned and calculated. * had to know. Who will take Rove's place to help * out during his final days in office which I still think number over 500? Is something else up? Did * listen in on Rove's calls and find out that he's been being played as a sucker?

Will this be spun by *Co that Rove was really asked to resign? Is this an attempt to make * look good?

Good grief!!!! Just a 1000 questions ruminating in my head about this.

What will be the reaction of the Conservative talking heads - Rush, Hannity, Coulter, Malkin, etc, etc. What's being said on the Freeper sites?

Is another Repug '08 Pres candidate coming out soon that Rove will be assigned to?

I expected to hear Gonzo resigning - not Rove. Will Gonzo resign too?

This is coming on a Monday - not in the normal Friday news dump. Why? Why did he wait til today? This story will supersede the Utah mining, shuttle tile and bridge collapse and the lady with 150 cats stories.

Did something develop over the weekend that caused Rove to do this unexpectedly? Is an indictment coming down? Is this why impeachment was off the table? Will Cheney be next? Will * himself resign?

The questions. The questions are just jumping out.

55. I Hear That Rove Expects *'s Poll Numbers To Go Up.........
and he that conditions in Iraq will improve.

Does Rove mean that these will happen due to his resigning?

Is Newt entering the race?

Was Rove hired away by Kucinich?

Whatever is going on - hey - KKKarl Rove is OUT.

Will he be outed in the D.C. Madam story?

Is Larry Flynt behind this resignation?

Oh the questions keep coming.

Did they wake up * in the middle of the night to tell him he has lost his brain?

There's a million reasons to think ill of Rove. But hypocrisy above all else.

58. Could there be more to this?
I don't think I am buying that he is leaving because of family at all!

59. Me either. That's such a standard reason, it's totally worn out.
It just occurred to me that perhaps Bushlitter is really realizing that there is no way to escape the filth of Rove, and he thinks he can escape punishment if Rove is gone.

:shrug:

75. Sure, he can be called, but
I imagine that he'll still claim privelege, and that our Dem pols will do precious little to press the issue.

Will he be scratched off the list now?

62. A Monday morning news dump? They're really switching things up
now. Good riddance; I see all the king's men are slowly fading away since their damage is now done. They'll let the dim one swing alone; that's dedication.

64. Even if he is working in the background,Updated at 7:55 AM
he has been relegated to his hidey hole. What a coward. But we knew that.

66. IMO, there are only three, maybe four reasons this could be happening...
1. Somebody's got something on him, or him and Georgie. If it's a Replican, we may never hear about it. If it's a Democrat, we'll hear about it.
2. He's getting ready to go to work for one of the Replican candidates.
3. Cheney's gotten his way on something that KKKarl doesn't want to be tainted with. Possible corollary: Cheney's got something on KKKarl, and wants him out of the way so he can get his way on something.

Number 1 is not so bad, and might be really good. Number 2 is not too good, but might not be too bad, either. Number 3 means we're getting ready to nuke Iran or something, and there just isn't an upside that I can see.

This is shocking news, and I'm not even awake yet. mr liberty hit me with it when I got out of bed, and my brain is reeling! I am not sure what to think about this. Is is good or bad? I need more information!

The only thing I know for sure is that KKKarl is NOT leaving just to "spend time with his family."

133. That is for certain


But I really responded to say I love your sig pic. A good friend just took some of his bike buddies out to Dragon's Tail.

Have you done Hwy 60 in Georgia (runs roughly between Blue Ridge and Dahlonega)? it used to be a great bike road, haven't ridden it in a long time, though...

And as for Rove, it's the end of an evil era :bounce: or merely the beginning of some other plan he has; perhaps he needs more privacy than the White House allows these days. Or maybe Larry Flynt got something on him finally?

144. Thank you!
No, we haven't done Hwy 60 yet. I'll have to ask mr liberty if he knows it.

151. I agree . . . this looks like a Cheney win somehow.
Cheney controls the entire show as far as I can see --

Rove would have been answerable to Cheney --

Cheney is still calling for bombing Iran and Bush is with him on it --

It it's Ed Gellespie . . . ? Does he have a longstanding relationship with Cheney . . .
evidently, he's another one who is second generation -- i.e., from Popa Bush's administration???

182. Could be all three
but for my money, I'd go for a mixture of 2 and 3.

69. Further on in the article it says....
"He also said Republicans have "a very good chance" to hold onto the White House in next year's elections."

He gave that same prediction when he thought that the Repukes would retain control of Congress in 2006 didn't he????

- Thanks Karl!!! Buh-bye, you no good bastard. And don't leave the country. They'll be coming for you later....

K&R!!!
