Mark My Words: Karl Rove Will Incriminate Himself on National TV on a Paid Gig

[CorpGovActivist]

Rove's reminisces about how he spent his time at the White House - on the taxpayers' dime - is going to come back to haunt him.

Rove spent years wisely avoiding the media. As my grandfather used to say: "Give an idiot enough rope, and he'll hang himself with it."

Rove's greed for paid gigs will be his downfall. I'd lay hard money in Vegas on it.

Waxman just got discoverable evidence of another possible violation of the Hatch Act, perpetrated by Rove: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatch_Act_of_1939

1. i wouldnt be suprised

if hes overly confident and cocky in his positions, which im sure he is, hes bound to slip up n say the wrong thing... given that hes an insider n probably has info on ALL the administrations wrong doings over the years...
lets just hope hes so sure of his positions and that people will agree with him thatll he'll let it ALLLLL out

lol

6. Somehow I Think Patrick Fitzgerald...

... will laugh his a** off when it happens, too.

[Bongo Prophet]

2. I soooo hope you are right!

That would be happy days long longed for. :)

Swing in the breeze, ratfucker turdweed.

3. I'll send you a check ...

... so you can put my money down with yours.

[CorpGovActivist]

4. Double Down and Let It Ride! n/t

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

5. He's a criminal. He deserves to be caught, charged, convicted & imprisoned.

If he helps out in bringing justice to himself, I'm sure not going to stop him!

7. Verily, verily, I say unto you: pride goeth before ... a fall.

(For the record, it's “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18; cf. I Corinthians 10:12). Guess the full quote went the way of that "guilding the lily" business.)

[CorpGovActivist]

9. Charles Ingalls...

... corrected Mrs. Olsen on that very quote in one of my favorite episodes.

: )

- Dave

[Richard Steele]

8. Well, that's entirely possible. I'll even agree it's LIKELY, if he starts appearing live.

But, so what? It's not as if any CONSEQUENCES could be
expected to follow such an admission.

It would be just another tempest in a blogspot.

[CorpGovActivist]

12. Unless Control of the Executive...

... falls into the right hands before the statutes of limitations expire.

- Dave

[Lilith Velkor]

10. How much you wanna bet he won't get arrested when he does?

[CorpGovActivist]

11. Criminal Statutes of Limitations...

... are funny things.

- Dave

[malaise]

13. I'll be watching with

:popcorn:

[Catherine Vincent]

14. That would be great.

But he's no longer with the corrupt Bush administration. will it matter?

[CorpGovActivist]

19. Karl Nearly Wet Himself...

... when Fitzgerald had him in the crosshairs before.

He'd give up bigger fish in an eyeblink.

- Dave

[underpants]

15. MSM will never turn on their cover

Rove was their cover "he's a GENIUS" "He intimidates us" for ever taking W seriously and for not reporting on his history or the outrageousness of their BS.

Rove would have to come out and admit to killing his mother ;-) and then MAYBE

[CorpGovActivist]

16. Eagle-Eyed Waxman Staffers...

... are on the job, too.

- Dave

[Swamp Rat]

17. He's putting chum in the water.

I've been waiting for this for a long time, and I have plenty more patience. :D

[bleever]

20. Still my favorite SR graphic of all time.

And I still have a bottle of champagne, way in back on the bottom shelf of the fridge, waiting for Karl's date with judicial destiny.

[Swamp Rat]

21. His day is a comin'

[CorpGovActivist]

22. Hope He Copyrighted It!

It's brilliant!

: )

- Dave

[pinto]

18. Kick. He's got the ego to do it.

[annabanana]

23. What's the statute of limitations? Is there a point at which

KKKarl can just "let 'er rip"?

[CorpGovActivist]

24. Many Are 7 Years...

... but more serious crimes usually extend that.

Plus, if a District Court determines that there was active fraud and/or concealment, the statute can be "tolled" - effectively rewinding the clock - until the fraud/concealment ceased, or until the breakthrough happened that allowed it to be overcome.

25. Having Rove pontificate as a pundit/analyst really is the gift that will keep on giving...

His ego and arrogance will eventually outpace his ability to keep his secrets.

[CorpGovActivist]

26. The Slow Motion of His Blush and Panic-Stricken Look...

... when he realizes that he just incriminated himself on national television will become a classic.

I wonder if they make video Christmas cards?

I'd make that mine.

27. DVRs may turn out to be powerful weapons in the fight to save our democracy. n/t

30. What? Never Heard of Burrelle's Media Monitoring?

You can set up media monitoring for every type of media, tagged by subject, topic, person, etc.:

http://www.burrellesluce.com/

VERY expensive, but even the Intelligence Community uses them for reliability.

- Dave

[Blackhatjack]

31. Sounds like their business volume will be going up....

[CorpGovActivist]

32. They Give Steep Price Breaks to Government Staff...

... conducting official investigations, BTW.

; )

- Dave

[Perry Logan]

28. Fascinating prediction. I always thought Rove was more of a duplicitous twerp than a genius.

[CorpGovActivist]

29. Until Now, He Avoided the Media ...

... like they had bubonic cooties.

That was one of his smarter moves.

- Dave

[bleever]

33. A preview

perhaps, taken election night 2004 in the White House dining room:



Karl and Susan Ralston making sure the numbers come out right.

[CorpGovActivist]

34. The Best Part Is Rove's Value DECREASES...

... the more cautious he gets, and the more he clams up.

Ratings, ratings, ratings: if he cannot speak candidly, he'll be dropped quickly.

- Dave

[abq e streeter]

35. Wish I could agree but

everyone with a functioning brain already knows what this bastard did and what consequences have there been? Plus , on the day he really does incriminate himself, some starlet will enter rehab with a new haircut and no underwear, and no one will even notice Rove. Geez, I hope I'm wrong; I really am tired of being the jaded cynic, but every time in the last 6 plus years that I've thought, a-ha, NOW we've got em, not a damn thing happens. But again, nothing would make me happier than for me to be wrong and you to be right.

[PoiBoy]

36. I hope Waxman takes his time investigating this...

..so that Rove's indictment comes after BushCo loses the power of the Pardon, insuring that Rove will be spending some quality time with his new cellmate...

[CorpGovActivist]

39. Waxman Is a Wise Man n/t

[kineneb]

37. ah, to watch him suffering foot-in-mouth disease on prime time...

It would almost be worth owning a TV; but I will be patient and wait for the youtube versions.

Break forth the popcorn and sodas... (and I thought the Watergate Hearings were "entertaining"...)

:popcorn:

[CorpGovActivist]

38. I Just Can't Wait to See Them Match Him with Carville...

... it will take me five TiVo rewinds to get through it, at least.
