Excuse Me While I LAUGH MY FRIGGIN' ASS OFF!!!! (US News: Rove Has Lost His Touch)
Edited on Mon Dec-11-06 10:31 AM by Beetwasher
Has King Karl Lost His Magic Touch?

It's an ugly rumor, but it's spreading like wildfire: Karl Rove has lost his touch. In an amazing betrayal within a family where top political aide Rove is royalty, Bushies have been sneering at his pre-election happy talk that the gop would keep the Senate and take a slight hit in the House, both soon to be run by Democrats. And now we learn that President Bush really believed the GOP was safe, too. On the day before the elections, he asked embattled House gop leader Dennis Hastert to run for speaker again so he could guide the White House's agenda in Congress.

2. UGLY rumor????
Maybe because those are the sorts of rumors Rove traffics in? Or is it just that US News etc. is showing its bias?

5. I don't think he cares anymore.
Karl Rove knows Bush is on his way out and he's made his millions

6. I'm sorry, I find it hard to buy that Bush REALLY believed they'd win.
Is he really, truly THAT stupid? Can he even read?

7. People change and Rowe is not keeping up.
He seems to be doing the same thing. We can always count on change. Not every one thinks that it goes on and I would say Bush and Rowe think it stood still when Bush got in and the people would always be with them.

10. It could not have happened to a more deserving guy....
....KKKarl Rove's touch was always that of a grifter anyway.

Definitions of grifter on the Web:

- swindler: a person who swindles you by means of deception or fraud

- A grifter is a con man. Someone who makes his living by fraud or deception.

13. They did believe they'd keep the Senate. They cheated to keep a
slim majority, too. They just didn't cheat quite hard enough.
