Bush insiders reflect on president's legacy

WASHINGTON BUREAU
Sunday, December 07, 2008

WASHINGTON — On a sofa on the second floor of the comfortable Washington home that George W. Bush's career helped put him in, Karl Rove reflects on an administration that didn't turn out as anticipated.

......................

Much of Washington, Rove said, never accepted Bush as a legitimate president and "acted accordingly." ... "There were people who never accepted the legitimacy of George W. Bush and acted accordingly," he said.

.............

Also reserved for between the covers of Rove's book is his checklist of the "great many of the political actors in this town (who) never accepted him as a legitimate president."

"I've got behind-the-scenes episodes that are going to show how unreceiving they were of this man as president of the United States," Rove said, adding: "I'm going to name names and show examples."

1. Damn right. He was an illegitimate incompetent from the git go.

:nopity: :nopity: :nopity:

Thanks a lot, KKKarl.

[aquart]

2. Does he realize those names will GAIN respect?

[RoyGBiv]

19. That's what I was thinking ...

I was also thinking some will probably be quite disappointed if they don't make his little list and may seek an injunction to have their names added.

[mediaman007]

24. Put my name on that list...

After 9-11, when 90% of this country supported him...I didn't.

[malaise]

42. Make that two names

Anti-Bush to the grave.

[Skittles]

52. did that blow you away, mediaman?

it absolutely disgusted me - the guy ignored warnings, sat in a classroom reading a kiddie book as people leaped out of the burning towers, then flew around the country apparently waiting for his pants to dry before finally showing up in NYC with a freaking blowhorn to use NYC firemen as a photo op - sickening beyond BELIEF - I was absolutely APPALLED. :puke:

[Marr]

3. Bush had the most compliant Congress and Supreme Court of any president.

If this so-called "genius" is suggesting that Bush failed because everyone wasn't behind him, then he's going to look very ridiculous.

[S_E_Fudd]

4. Can't acknowledge something that doesn't exist...nt

[tavalon]

5. Ya know Rove, you backed a moron

If Washington was actually smart enough to reject him, I'm impressed.

[Ezlivin]

6. Maybe if he'd actually won an election people would have supported him

He didn't win in 2000 and there's damned good reason to think he did not win in 2004.

Since he didn't win in 2000 he should not have even been running in 2004.

We all know that Cheney was running things.

[liberalmuse]

7. He was NEVER my President.

If that makes me an enemy of Rove, along with a good number of very intelligent, ethical human beings, I'm in damn good company. Rove is an enemy of The Constitution, and should be imprisoned for the rest of his life.

I hope he's hauled before Congress in chains come January.

[underpants]

11. Then why did they go along with him so completely there Karl?

was it because you and Dick started wire tapping everyone BEFORE 9/11?? Hmmm yeah that could be one reason the other is that you are completely full of crap

[madokie]

We'll see Karl Rove in shackles within 60 days is my bet

This is a government of laws and not of men and some like this asswipe is fixing to get a good lesson in just that. Rave on Rove your days are numbered big boy

[Liberal Gramma]

35. Oh, I hope so! I want to see him in one of those orange jumpsuits SO bad!

[bemildred]

8. Me! Me! I want to be on the enemies list. nt

[SpiralHawk]

9. Rove is going to name the American Patriots & Heroes !

Kudos!

We need to develop an Award for the Americans courageous enough to stand up to the corruption and FAIL of the republicon homelanders who stole our government, and then flushed it (and American honor) in the crapper of their greed and anger.

[northernlights]

10. Good to know

that not everybody in DC accepted the idiot son as an illegally appointed pRes.

Looking forward to your book, Karl. I want to see exactly who did what they could to try to stop your incompetent scumbag shrub from destroying our country.

Not that I intend to give you one red cent of the last of my so-called retirement fund. I'll just skim your book standing in the aisle, make note of who the good'uns are, and move right along.

Do look forward to seeing you again on the tube someday. Dressed in orange pajamas. Very becoming on you, Rove. Suit you to a t.

[jwirr]

30. My guess is that in every government agency there are old timers

- people who have been working there for years - that have just been praying for someone to oust these bastards. That is why I have always believed that the CIA, FBI and even the military would not totally betray us. Down in the ranks there are good people working to keep the show going. On January 20th they will be free to surface once again.

[wundermaus]

12. Ah, excuse me...

that would be the majority of America's voters.
among his many other talents, Rover can't count.

[Thor_MN]

13. Right, * was Queeged.

If not for the the people that did not acknowledge the legitmacy of *'s command, he would have been a wonderful President. :eyes:

[Sal Minella]

16. Ah, true, so true.....I weep, I weep. How COULD we have been so cruel.......nt

[Uben]

14. Put me on the list

I have never accepted him as my president, and I never accepted him as governor of Texas. I did, however, accept him as the coward and worthless piece of shit he is. he will never change. The Bushes are die-hard narcissists, thinking somehow they were sanctioned by God to be leaders. Musta been the drugs and alcohol!

I am usually ready to give props to all those who serve their country. Not george Bush. I hope he rots in hell for eternity, along with Karl "The Cowardly Traitor" Rove, and Dick "Shoot em in the face" Cheney. They have proved they deserve nothing better.

[Octafish]

15. He was illegitimate. He is illegitimate. He will always be illegitimate.

No matte how much Karl Rove spins it, Bush stole his way into the Oval Office and the bought-and-paid-for Corporate McPravda and a cowed Congress let him.

There is a word for Rove and Bush's enemies: Patriots.

[w4rma]

17. Rove really threw Armitage under the bus in this interview.

…
"You'll notice there was outrage when it was thought that I was the person behind outing Valerie Plame. And then when it came out that it was the sainted (Deputy Secretary of State) Richard Armitage, there was no interest. I don't remember seeing anybody camped out on his doorstep like they were camped out on mine. (It's) because he was part of the acceptable culture of Washington, and I was not. I was one of those Texans who came up. He was one of those perpetual I'll-scratch-your-back-if-you'll-scratch-mine Washington leakers," Rove vented.
…

[live love laugh]

41. Rove is full of shit. He's trying to revise history. nt

[yardwork]

47. Rove admitted under oath that he betrayed Valerie Plame. Then he lied about it in public.

[glitch]

18. Everybody's fault but theirs.

I hope it's as self-pitying as it sounds, the perfect epitah to their shallow dim-witted mean-spirited epic fail arrogance.

Fools actually thought they could create their own reality and that Reality wouldn't mind.

[lunatica]

20. This is one enemies list I wish I was on

:cry:

[zehnkatzen]

21. What Planet Is That Man From?

They absolutely were in sloppy love with W from the first. From the compliant press to the Republicans to the DINOs, they just loved them some W.

Maybe he's talking about all the hoi polloi that they won't get to put in reeducation camps now.

When they're winning, they're geniuses.

When they're losing, it's like Captain Queeg ... everyone's out to get them.

But they don't understand. We don't want them to go away mad. We just want them to go away.

[lunatica]

22. Rove's enemies list is our Heroes list...

Give them a medal of honor or something

[Jack Rabbit]

23. The problem, dear Karl, is that he never was president

I welcome the ascent of Barack Obama, 43rd president of the United States.

Fortunately, the Bush Junta never solidified hold on power once it was seized. The junta falls and the dictator with it.

[TahitiNut]

25. His book: "Turdblossom And The Bastard - Cow Flops From The Foggy Bottom"

The despicable cowardice and criminality of a nation that left these turds in the Offal Orifice. :puke:

[Phred42]

26. Obama is the first ELECTED President of the 21st Century

Bush, has been an illegal emperor

Thanks in part to the elected cowards on the left

[gratuitous]

27. You know what might have enhanced his legitimacy?

Bush could have gained a scintilla of legitimacy if he had governed as if he didn't win a majority of the votes cast in 2000. Because, you see, Mr. Rove, he didn't. Instead he governed as if he was George the Invincible.

For someone who's supposed to be a political genius, Rove sure seems stupid. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that he was in reality just a dirty-trick hatchetman. I look forward to picking up his book for a buck. Should be about mid-July next year.

[Triana]

28. He KKKarl - you can add ME to your f*cking list. bu$h was NOT elected President and he has NEVER

been LEGITIMATE.

The sonofabitch was APPOINTED, NOT elected. He was never accepted as legit for a REASON - THAT reason.

[librechik]

29. Outrage! Becasue the Republicans were 100% loyal to Carter and Clinton

and never did anything to undermine what they said were also illegitimate presidencies.

:sarcasm:

get ready for impeach Obama movement Jan 21, 2009.

[alfredo]

31. Yeah, drive a wedge into your party. We won't stop you. You know some

Reps that didn't show enough subservience to bush's authority will be on that list.

[Mari333]

32. *waving* yes, I was one of them. n/t

[Skidmore]

33. And I have special contempt for those people because they

kept their mouths shut and gave their tacit approval to every criminal act * initiated to the point of looking away as he gutted our Constitution and turned our Bill of Rights into a joke. Rove & * and the DC establishment want us to pat them on the head now that he's on his way out the door with his criminal cohort? I see this in the rewrite of history they are attempting and the blatant grovelling of some of the press and punditry as they try to figure out how to toady up to Obama. It won't freaking work this time. I hope Obama and his crew continue to school them in how democracy is intended to work and the fact that this is is the goverment of, by, and for the people AND the WH is the People's House.

[Jakes Progress]

34. Me. Me. Over here. That makes me one. nt

[stuntcat]

36. suddenly people's opinions matter to Rove?

It seems to me that Bush USED the power our country gave him as president. He got his way with the military, with citizen's privacy, with ignoring the environment.. why should Rove whine now? Because getting everything he wanted didn't turn out so perfect? boohoo asshole boohoo

[silverweb]

37. Gee, really?

Maybe that was because the son-of-a-bitch never was legitimately elected and started breaking his oath of office the day he took it.

Put me on that "enemies list" of yours, too, you craven, traitorous piece of shit.

[southernyankeebelle]

38. There you go again

What is up with these people. They steal an election and than says people question his legitimate presidency? Hell yes. I will always feel this idiot stold the election. It is now starting to come out about the illegal ballots in OH. Rove should be in jail.

[TroglodyteScholar]

39. If denying Bush's legitimacy makes me an enemy of Karl Rove...

...then I am proud to be a part of his enemies list.

[xxqqqzme]

40. That would be about 50% of the country as

'unaccepting' from day one.

Turd Blossom...what a lackey to be happy w/ a name like that.

[marmar]

43. And in other news, there are people who don't believe in Santa Claus.....

No shit, Sherlock Rove!

[Swamp Rat]

44. 12-12-2000

[Sebastian Doyle]

45. Hey KKKarl, over here, you piece of shit!

I NEVER accepted Chimpy as legitimate, I never called him "President" and even on the morning of 9-12-01 he did not ever have my support.

What are you gonna do about it, asshole? :grr:

[yardwork]

46. Bring it.

[TripleKatPad]

48. I am shamed.

All this time I thought I detested W because he was an incompetent, evil frat-boy who systematically destroyed our country. Now Turdblossom is going to set the record straight: the real problem was caused by a bunch of bullies being mean to little Georgie-Porgie-Puddin'-Pie. Excuse me for a while. I'm going to my closet to self-emulate. /dripping sarcasm in case it wasn't clear.

[hewitt]

49. LOL....

Typical repub: vindictive, smarmy, and stupid. Does he not think there are millions of people who would be proud to be on that list? I truly don't think he realizes what a disaster that administration has been for our country.

[Skittles]

50. count me as one of them

I never, ever for even one fucking day accepted that thieving bastard as my president - not now, not EVER

[JerseygirlCT]

51. Now THERE'S a transparent ploy to get anyone to buy his stupid

book.

Millions of people are going to want to see their name in print!

[sofa king]

53. Obviously, Rove is talking about me.

For I am the sofa king!
