  5. Remember Don Adams? Picture him morphing with his shoe phone into Karl Rove with his cell phone. Now moms can name their kids Karl and not Carl. Dick Morris can go back to his shoe fetish if he is tired of his fifteen minutes.

  6. I voted for " Fluffing cell-mate Scooter Libby's pillows ." Now I'll watch some episodes of OZ and imagine the possibilities.

  7. He'll scuttle out of the way of trouble so effectively that he'll come through clean.

  8. KR will get a seven figure salary for two or three comments a week on Fox Noise that will total less than 15 minutes of air time. He'll still do his back room advice to well funded candidates. He has no apparent political policy other than winning elections for odious candidates by any means, fair or foul. He will remain dangerous to anyone who is worth less than a 100 million dollars, regardless of party affiliation. The million dead Iraqis on his watch do not and will not intrude on his thoughts.

  9. I think Rove is getting a bum deal. Look at what he's done in the last 30 years or so. How many among us can say that the consequences of our sublimated sexual rage have affected world history? Nixon can; boy, was he a star, huh? Bill Casey too, I should say, although he was also a certifiable nutball. Nations have changed borders; national reputations have been besmirched; thousands have died; all because of Karl's noble rejection of onanism in favor of unscrupulous, malicious political manipulation and mendacity. We should erect a statue to him or something. I mean, something in his life should be erect, don't you think?

  10. Rove will rise again and run for President with Tom Delay as his running mate. What did Rove's ancestors do during WWII? Did he have a Nazi past like this pope

  11. It won't be anything bad like the slammer, that's fer sure, that's fer darn sure. If he escaped Fitzgerald's legalistic purity and rigor, he's WAY too shrewd for anything Congress can or will do. As usual, I voted with the plurality on this one. Faux News for a basically faux guy.

  12. Well, I would hope that Rove would get the same level of justice that Libby received. For me, it would be appropriate to see Rove fluffing Libby's pillows while they serve some endearing times together in cell block 1600.

  13. Rove is so boring, his right-wing bonafides will not qualify him a TV position. Bookwrighting only comes at the end of his political career and he's not done. Bush's pardon will save Rove's ass from prison (as it will Libby's). And Rove is currently the acting Attorney General and has been for some time. Meanwhile the GOP desperately needs a dyed-in-the-wool, true-blue conservative for 2008, and if anyone has the political skills to transform Cheney into a bonafide Pres. candidate, Rove can.

  14. There is a massive difference between what should be next for Karl "Turd Blossom" Rove and what will actually happen...

    Rove should be put on trial for treason (for outing an under-cover CIA operative, Valerie Plame) and for obstruction of justice (lying about the Libby case- lying about the U.S. Attorney-gate- and, his despicable dirty-tricks)...

    Rove will actually be charged with getting the corrupt Condi Rice "elected" [sic] as "president". For, I predict that Cheney will no longer be Veep by the end of this year or early 2008 (due to "health" issues-- which are currently being loudly advertised. Rice is another OIL-whore- the worst NSA in our nation's history- a traitor & liar who committed perjury before Congress- and, is the laughing-stock of the diplomatic corps, who as Secretary of State is admired for her massive warehouse of designer outfits & shoes-- but who is recognized as being devoid of diplomatic skill- devoid of integrity- devoid of wisdom- devoid of loyalty to the American people- and, devoid of deep intelligence. But Rove loves her because she is akin to Rush Limbaugh:-- being glib.

    Rove's insane lust for a 1000-neo-con-Reich will drive him to install puppets into "Republican" positions in Congress- and to demonize Democrats-- thus bringing about a one-party state.

    Finally, Rove will live a long sordid & squalid life- never having faced war or danger first-hand- and, will end his life hyper-rich.

    Tragic, but true, methinks...

  15. The turd will always blossom. As long as monied scum aspire to the heights of power, there will be no justice for Karl Rove.

  16. There are two choices - UNDER OATH or UNDER ARREST Mr. Bush.

    Posted by tucanofulano at 03/21/2007

  17. Don't know what is next for Rove and his gang, including Bush, Cheney, Gonzales, and even Marine PFC Pace, but wouldn't sentencing them to community service -making them the grave diggers for our soldiers - be appropriate?

    Suddenly the war would end.

  18. The question whether George W. Bush is delusional or not is irrelevant. The question should be whether or not the White House press corps has been deluded since 2001.

  19. I truly believe that Karl Rove is gay, not that that is a bad thing in and of itself. I just see a huge irony in that and in the right wing religious groups he charged up to get Bush (almost) elected originally. I suppose if I am right, it makes sense that he knows about the fear of homosexuals and used it fully.

  20. Actually, I think Karl will be enjoying the rest of his life in South America with Bush (adjoining ranches?) or he may decide to join Ken Lay on his private island. (They really should have let us poke Lay with a stick...I still don't believe he's dead!)
