Rove says role was ‘entirely proper’

rove2Recent news accounts about information gathered by the House Judiciary Committee have drawn a clear and political link between Bush adviser Karl Rove and the firings of a number of U.S. attorneys during President Bush’s second term. Rove dismisses his critics in his Wall Street Journal column, saying the facts “show that my role in the U.S. attorneys issue was minimal and entirely proper.” He also brushes off allegations that he was behind the 2004 prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman. Far from admitting any mistakes, Rove suggests that the New York Times’ and Washington Post’s editorial boards should admit they got it wrong about him. “It would be the responsible thing to do,” Rove concluded.

    And Tom Ridge was forced to raise the terror alert before the election. Fraud was rampant in the Bush Administration. Do the cons realize how many times we said “I told you so”. Does it hurt to have so much egg on your collective faces? It wasn’t rocket science. You people fell for all of their disgusting tactics and defended them. You should be ashamed.

    Turd blossom needs to apologize to the nation. And Faux News and Wall Street Journal need to apologize for their tactics.

    Lets see, Karl Rove or Rahm Emmanual and David Axelrod. When it comes to sleaze incorporated its Obama hands down. They even make Caraville and Begala seem honest.

    Goes to show Mactown will accept any level of corruption. SHow me ONE instance where Rahm had been implicated in wrongdoing..vs how many times Rove, Bush and Cheney have been.

    The cards are stacked against you. The truth will set you free. Or it’ll prove you’re stupid.

    Prosecuting political opponents. Smacks of Baathism. America can do better.

    How interesting the old Bush and Gang worshippers continue to defend the indefensible.

    But let’s not let facts get in the way of these worshippers’ fantasy land dreams, okay?

    Republicans had total power and they blew it with the American people.

    Funny thing, the latest poll still has the Republicans as NOT TRUSTED by the majority of Americans.

    How does it feel to be rated lower than Obama, Republicans?

    If you’re so great – then why can’t you muster more than a lousy 22% support and most of that is from the Southern States kissing-cousins, which we all know their IQ’s.

    Darth Teflon Teddy Bear does not frustrate the liberal hate machine – he just gets too much grease in the wheels!

    The grease of greed, arrogance, ignorance and impotence!

    Why is Karl Rove hated so much by the left? Its because he kicked their butts in three successive election cycles. (2000,2002,2004). Of course the libtards made it easy by running two of the worst candidates in American Presidential history.
