BRAD BLOG EXCLUSIVE: Karl Rove Makes Surprise Visit to Camp Casey!
EXCLUSIVE: Karl Rove Makes Surprise Visit to Camp Casey!
Greets, Thanks Bush Supporters Opposing Cindy Sheehan

Snubs, Ignores Combat Vets, Gold Star Families Who Made Ultimate Sacrifice for Bush's War



CRAWFORD, TX - Driving his own pickup, with two trucks blockading both sides of the street, Bush Administration Senior Political Advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff, Karl Rove made a surprise sunset visit/photo-op Tuesday night to the half dozen or so Bush supporters camped across the street from "Camp Casey" in Crawford, Texas where Cindy Sheehan -- whose son, Casey, was killed in Iraq -- originally made her stand requesting a meeting and an explanation from George W. Bush, The BRAD BLOG has learned from eye-witnesses.

The BRAD BLOG has obtained exclusive photographs from Rove's quick glad-handing and back-patting with the few pro-war, pro-Bush stalwarts who were manning a counter-protest site across the street from Sheehan's original camp.

Rove did not meet with any of the dozens of Iraq and Afghan war vets, nor the Gold Star Family members who'd lost loved ones in those wars who were present in Crawford to support Sheehan's request to meet with Bush for an explanation of the "noble cause" that he's suggested their loved ones had died for.

After nearly 2,000 U.S. troops have lost their lives in the sands and streets of Iraq, and even while scores of thousands of U.S. citizens were fighting for their lives in the face of devastating flood waters encroaching into New Orleans, Rove laughed, greeted and thanked those who came to Crawford to attack a mother who'd lost her son in the cause of George W. Bush's unexplained "noble cause"...

26. Answer from Brad...
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 01:38 PM by BradBlog
Because, as it turns out, he's actually a good guy who may well have had a breakthrough in Camp Casey once he learned a few things about what was *really* going on down there.

Watch his blog for (hopefully) updates that correct the previous nonsense he was carrying on it. (his blog is at http://jhouserok.blogspot.com)

He spent quite a bit of time with us and the many folks at Camp Casey. So for that, and his willingness to talk, listen and learn, I give him high marks...

Brad

18. Shows his world-class pettiness
And here I thought Bush was the only one that immature and juvenile. This really says SO much about Rove it's amazing.

20. O.K. folks. Everyone talks about what a political genius kkkarl is.
BULLSHIT, I say. If he truly was the political genius his PR machine ascertains, he would have visited CAMP CASEY. In one fell swoop he could have co-opted their thunder and saved his boss' hide. It may have been a bit scary and a huge gamble, but NOOOOO! He couldn't do it. He didn't have the shrewd political insight or the stones to pull it off. He's no genius, just an unscrupulous, callous prick. Try spinning that.

23. Thank you, totally unfunded by me spontaneous protestors.
Who do not have any, I repeat, any connection with *snicker* my well known penchant for pulling non existant counter protest groups out of my ass. Despite the straight line that points to a well known California GOP PR firm. Ahem. Which you cannot see, becuse it does not exist. Anymore. Until the next time they are umm conjured up again, and by that I mean needed.

Wink wink. Nudge nudge. Say no more.

24. Well, since he probably engineered their visit, it was
only right that he should go out and greet them as they arrived.

25. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You'll rot in HELL, Rove!!! End of days....
Old traitor Karl Rove must know he's going to rot in hell, and that the curtain is almost over for him.

That's the only reason his stupid smarmy ass would visit 14 pro bush supporters and help them out just one block away from Cindy Sheehan!!

27. Sounds to me like a guy with HIS OWN AGENDA
Could he be close to indictment? Is he looking for an opportunity to show how down with the GOP peeps he is, the ordinary folk, and not just the high rollers? When has he ever given without expecting something back???
