Taking one for the "team"...

Why the hell are the White House, the RNC, Republican Congressmen and conservative pundits backing Karl Rove up...can anyone answer that?

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, go on to any...ANY...news source in the world and read about it.

The way Bush Administration is sticking up for Rove reminded me of this October 2004 photo and story from the campaign trail:


Karl Rove laid himself on the line for his boss, the president of the United States.

That is, he laid himself under the wheels of Air Force One on Monday. Reason: Unclear, but it seems to have been an inside joke between Rove and President George W. Bush.

Returning to the aircraft after Mr. Bush's foreign policy speech, the two men traded words. As Mr. Bush climbed the stairs, his top political adviser set his briefcase down in front of the tires and stretched out on the ground with his back to the wheels.

Rove stood back up moments later; a smiling Bush waved from the plane and they both got aboard.

"It was a humorous moment on the campaign trail," was all Bush campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel would say about Rove's antic.
Wow. Put all that in the context of recent news [Bush/GOP lying down in front of "Truth Train" for Rove], and "antic" takes on a whole new meaning.

Mr. President, loyalty or no loyalty, fire this guy already...

I can't believe you would even wonder why they're sticking up for him.

1) Because this is the era of "We don't give a shit," politics. Republicans do whatever they want, even when they do something people do like - they get away with it. People complain. ... They don't give a shit. It seems to have worked, and they're still in office, so they keep doing it.

2) The reason why Bush and MANY other Republicans are still in office is because of Karl Rove. He is a political genius, you can't argue with that - and so he has made himself an invaluable commodity to the party.

Those are my views on why he's not being fired.

Plus, I hear he gives a mean blowjob. Wait, what, who said that!?

You're almost as lazy as Hank. Would you start posting already, or what!?

Seriously - I know you have time - I know you just sit around Liz's house waiting for her to BBQ your food for you.

POST!
