If nothing else, he'll be another annoying fixture on the Sunday talk shows and on the news channels.<BR/><BR/>I think his influence on the White House will depend on how well informed his spies can keep him. Many of the folks who you would think would function as spies have already left. I'm sure his counsel will still be sought, but it looks to me like his influence is waning.Cujo359https://www.blogger.com/profile/10385213658828021737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885549900454136918.post-41130496484173989552007-08-16T20:51:00.000-07:002007-08-16T20:51:00.000-07:00Re Bush "losing his brain/ confidante/turd-blossom...Re Bush "losing his brain/ confidante/turd-blossom/whatever " meme that floods the netways...<BR/><BR/>What, is Rovie moving to Montana? Antarctica? Ganymede? Has the US teleco infrastructure completely collapsed? (from all the AT&T-assisted wiretapping, no doubt)<BR/><BR/>I find it hilarious people think that, because he packs up his West Wing office, Turdy will be unable to still provide the 'sage counsel' that W has come to depend on. Yeah, and after Karen Hughes dropped out, she's never spoken to POTUS since. Same with Harriet Meirs, Andy Card, et al. <BR/><BR/>Of <I>course</I> the WHouse would be pleased with this exit: its a win-win. It deflects attention from the heat, and Turdy keeps on keeping on. <BR/><BR/>The spin? Rovie's disgraced and has to move on; no one wants to talk to him, etc. Yeah yeah, MSM, go right on pushing that lunch... <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, is there <I>any</I> chance in hell of getting this bastard on any one of the myriad scandals now swirling around him like tumbleweed?? I agree that Plamegate is old news. Besides, there's plenty other fish to fry: at least in a Bizarro world where there's some semblance of the rule of law.G-Naturalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110067605744725145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885549900454136918.post-74923071941394150032007-08-14T06:49:00.000-07:002007-08-14T06:49:00.000-07:00Unfortunately, for the opposition it's too temptin...Unfortunately, for the opposition it's too tempting to make jokes about Bush's brain. Best one I've seen so far is from <I>The Independent</I>: "Bush's brain goes missing as Karl Rove retires". <BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, you'd think some headline writer somewhere would have noticed the scandals swirling around Rove, but none seem to have.Cujo359https://www.blogger.com/profile/10385213658828021737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885549900454136918.post-36999126987210544242007-08-13T21:47:00.000-07:002007-08-13T21:47:00.000-07:00If Rove were a Democrat, or this was a different c...If Rove were a Democrat, or this was a different country, the headlines and 24/7 coverage would be, "Rove Resigns as Investigations Close In."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885549900454136918.post-37632577194470348972007-08-13T19:06:00.000-07:002007-08-13T19:06:00.000-07:00Except for the PR issues, I can't see what Plamega...Except for the PR issues, I can't see what Plamegate might have to do with it at this point. It seems unlikely to me that the civil suit is going to go anywhere. Other than that, it could be any of those scandals, plus maybe some other aspect of the U.S. Attorneys scandal, like maybe someone discovered some of those "lost" emails at the RNC site.Cujo359https://www.blogger.com/profile/10385213658828021737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885549900454136918.post-8054348656799765822007-08-13T16:38:00.000-07:002007-08-13T16:38:00.000-07:00Larry Johnson makes Abramoff the number one reason...Larry Johnson makes Abramoff the number one reason, followed by the Plame betrayal. If Ambramoff has been singing as happily and as much as rumored, and claims that Rove was intimately involved with the bribery scandals, then I'm prepared to focus on that one as well.<BR/><BR/>http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2007/08/13/ro-ro-rove/<BR/><BR/>But I would think that Marcy's #s 4,5 and 6 are all applicable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
