Top aide seen looking at Cheney’s paper during pop quiz
Just days after President George W. Bush ordered the White House staff to take what was called a “refresher” course on ethics, his top aide Karl Rove was caught cheating during the first pop quiz given in the course, the White House confirmed today.
According to Marisa Clomens, the teacher who taught the refresher course, Rove was clearly seen craning his neck to copy answers off Vice President Dick Cheney’s paper during the pop quiz.
“Once I saw Mr. Rove looking at Vice President Cheney’s paper, I told him to put down his pencil and asked him to stay after class,” Clomens said. “I had him write ‘I will not leak the name of CIA officers’ 100 times on the blackboard.”
For President Bush, who clearly had hoped to send the message that he was serious about cleaning up the ethical mess at the White House, the news that his top aide had cheated off the vice president’s paper during a pop quiz comes as a public relations setback.
