If Rove goes, can Bush really pretend "he didn't know"?
It seems to me that Bush has to go, too. It is implausible that he didn't know. Rove is too close.

If Bush were to save himself, he would have to have distanced himself from Rove a long time ago.

ALso, it further demonstrates Bush's incompetence at making decisions, if he does try to pull a Reagan. Once Rove goes, Bush us the guy responsible for bringing Rove in.

Rove's departure is the beginning of the end for Bush as well.

It's his damn JOB to know.

Miserable, miserable failure, through and through.

15. If Bush didn't know, then Rove should most DEFINITELY be fired.
Rove should have come clean two years ago when he compromised our national security.

2. We need a Jeffie Jeff connection
Only gay sex will awaken the masses...

Plame is too complicated - it needs to be brought down to the blowjob common denominator.

3. He's spent years preparing his "clueless moron" defense, so yes.

I think he'll just claim he didn't know.

It's not as if we have proof that he knows much about ANYTHING
that goes on....anywhere...ever....

It's totally believable to many people, and he might get away with it.

6. I don't think much of his dad either.
His dad is/was on the wrong side of any issue you name. Its a shame. Prescott had some pinciples but it ended there. The whole clan are a bunch of con artitsts and crooks - that his dad had more class and finesse does not mean he was any less clueless and damaging to the interests of the common American.


They are both jerks.

5. Sure he can !
The Chimp basically understands nothing. All he has is his steadfast rigidity and posturing to go by. And now he has to remember what he said if he wants to seem anything other than delusional .

If he was not ignornat in the first place, he would not be the giggly serial killer he is today.

of pulling a repeat performance.

13. a trick question!
to pretend, one has to have a higher level of consciousness than exhibited by the Chimp. He is not sufficiently advanced to have the human ability to pretend.

14. of course he can pretend he didn't know!
he's been pretending to be "presidential" for years now, pretending he doesn't drink, pretending to be a christian.

he's a good little pretender.

(it's the twisted mouth and shady eyes that give him away)
