Rove's Contingency Plans Include Forming Spin Team

[JABBS]

(With reports that Senior White House Advisor Karl Rove) "would not be charged ... but would remain under investigation, Rove himself was making contingency plans, which included having allies begin to assemble a legal and political team in case he is eventually indicted.

Mark Corallo, a former spokesman for the Justice Department, would be part of the public relations defense team, according to a person familiar with the plan. Corallo is no stranger to high-profile defenses. He was spokesman for former representative Bob Livingston (R-LA), who was forced to step aside as the incoming speaker of the House in 1998 after admitting an extramarital affair."

1. Rove can't hammer Fitz too hard or he'll earn an indictment.

2. Are the aliens included?

Do they come back and scoop him up at some point?

3. I thought forming spin teams was his JOB in the first place n/t

4. I hope he hires Carallo,

who did such a great job defending Livingston. Maybe he should also get the guys who defended Newt Gangrene and Bob Packwood. Crack legal team.

5. Rove is a moron.

He's got a low cunning and a total lack of morals, but the only reason his puppet has had any success at all is because of 9-11 and the fact that the system is rigged with Republican cronies.

Do you suppose Rove would be called a genius if he were promoting Democrats? Hell no- the fucker would've failed for a few years and ended up in prison for one of his pathetic, juvenile dirty tricks.

Whatever- if he thinks he can spin his way out of an indictment, I say let Porky get to it. Sounds like it'll be a fun show.

8. Excuse me, but I believe that is spelled "moran." n/t

6. Spin team:

7. What spin team? The whole administration IS the spin team!

Jesus, there is only one play in Rove's book and I think the opposing team has kind of copped on to it by now. How about instead of repeating the same bullshit that's not working you LEARN SOMETHING, Karl?

Never fear, they never will,

9. All on the taxpayer's dime no doubt.

10. Good!

So long as Karl has to keep his dogs of war protecting his own doorstep, he will be less able to turn them loose on everyone else.
