Get ready, folks, * won't even fire Rove if he's indicted

[Walt Starr]

Only a conviction will do to show Rove committed a crime and Bush parsed his words today.

They are going to follow Rove over a cliff. You heard it here first.

[ewagner]

1. Rove knows where

ALL THE BODIES ARE BURIED

they can't get rid of him, not because he might rat them out, but because they don't even know where or how how many bodies are buried and they would be constantly tripping over them for the next three years.

[TheDebbieDee]

20. AMEN! Bush could no more fire Rove.......

than anyoone could cut off their own arm or leg. He knows too much to be let out of the admin's sight for too long.

However, Rove should be careful about flying on small planes! It would be great for the * admin if Rove were "Wellstoned".

[Lecky]

2. He has to...that would be a disastrous blow to this admin. as well as the

Republican party. This would mean that the Republicans in congress would have to decide whether to stand behind Bush or stand for honor and integrity. It would be insane if Bush didn't...the press would just slaughter him and all of his defenders.

I hope he doesn't. :)

[Not Me]

10. I hope so too...

That would be SO beautiful...for bush to keep him on while he (and possibly Scooter Libby) are under indictment.

2006 would play right into Dem hands.

[Strelnikov_]

21. I Agree. This Move Is About As Misguided As Pickett's Charge

Then again, what would you expect from a chimp?

[rodeodance]

3. guess moral codes do not count-as Bush raised the bar--needs to be

a 'crime' he said during the press conference.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

4. Personally I think that's a good thing

If this descends into a messy public trial with witnesses and evidence on the corruption going on behind closed doors in the Bush Administration, I hope that Rove is still tied as closely as possible to the Chimp and that the stench continues to permeate everything the Chimp does.

And you are absolutely right; continuing to have Rove as his chief advisor while Rove defends himself for treason would take the entire administration right over a cliff.

[rodeodance]

6. yes, in that respect it is 'good thing', yet--I have had enough!

[stellanoir]

5. Just like his daddy did

with the Iran Contra banditos. . . Prepare for multitudinous pardons.

[rodeodance]

7. Scotty just said that we will not prejudge the outcome.

[rodeodance]

8. now Scotty is trying once again to close down discussion of Rovegate.

[rodeodance]

9. the WH press core is giving Scotty a rough time--goody goody

[rodeodance]

12. "don't read anything into it"---the 'criminal'--says scotty boy.

[aquart]

11. Steep cliff. Long drop? Damn shame.

[rodeodance]

13. "the president directed the WH to cooperate fully"--guess Rove was

not in the room when Jr. said that!!!!!

[rodeodance]

14. lots of questions about Rovegate. Jr can not escape this one.

[texastoast]

17. KKKarl would never have approved the words

"cooperate fully" as long as they refer to someone cooperating with them. Rove truly does feel above the law, and the way he played this hand surely shows it.

[peacetalksforall]

15. It may be better that he stays...

. he will be under a magnifying glass
. he and they will be pounded flat about why he is staying
. he would work for them anyway...

they would certainly figure out a way to continue to use him for tactics and strategies - no matter what.

[stubertmcfly]

16. well...

he did say he would "take care of him". what do we expect?

[mmonk]

18. What's the matter? Don't they trust him?

[Jose Diablo]

19. Hey, Bu$h is gonna ram the republican boat into the rocks

Go ahead buddyboy, sink the rest of your party, they earned it.

[drbtg1]

22. This alone should be an impeachable offense

At the very least, a leave of absence.
