Does the Alito nomination mean that Rove is back in charge?

[Poiuyt]

Everything about this nomination, from the timing to divert attention away from Scooter, to the choice of a far right-wing, "fuck you Democrats and moderates," nominee, sounds just like Karl is back on his game.

1. I think yes.

It makes me wonder if he isn't going to escape indictment afterall.

2. Fingers crossed it's his swan song ...

He certainly is the WH liaison to "The Base" (hahahah -- just like Al Qaeda!), so he probably made sure Dobson and company were aware that this was coming.

He SOOOOO needs to get his comeuppance!

3. Ahhhh yeah. Rove must not feel distracted....by possible indictment

[UrbScotty]

4. Was he ever NOT in charge? (nt)

[Debi]

5. Yup, shame huh? n/t

6. don't even have to dust for prints.

clearly he made the decision to shore up the dying base of support. Once he has them under control, he can turn to more important matters.

Roe v. Wade is totally unimportant to Rove or Bush. Power, control, and greed are. If they decide to throw a bone to the radical rightists, it means nothing to them. Besides, they are males, and laws on abortion don't apply to them.
