This is one story I want to be true, so bad. It just seems so perfectly Bushian.
If you’re going to fire someone, you want to make sure you do it in a place where the now-unemployed can’t make a scene.
You know…a place like, say, a church. […]
“On a Sunday in midsummer, George W. Bush accompanied Karl Rove to the Episcopalian Church Rove sometimes attended,” writes Alexander. “They made their way to the front of the congregation. Then, during their time in the church, Bush gave Rove some stunning news. ‘Karl,’ Bush said, ‘there’s too much heat on you. It’s time for you to go.’”
Loyal and Brave! That’s our Bush!
The convoluted irony of Bush using his Father to help take out Rove is…well, only in BushWorld. I can just hear Rove, the agnostic shaking his head and muttering that he knew there was a reason he avoided church.
heh…compassionate conservatism at it’s finest. wonder if chimpy
preyedprayed with him.
l see another book coming…rover?…the brave and loyal barney?

Barney gets put down the day after obama is sworn in. He knows where too many of the bodies are buried.
he’ll probably end up in a bosintang.
LMAO!

From your link …
“Machiavelli’s Shadow” doesn’t portray Rove in a favorable light and Alexander includes plenty of interviews with GOP notables unsatisfied with Rove’s influence during the Bush administration.
“Every Republican I know looks at the Bush administration as a total failure,” said Matt Towery, chairman of Newt Gingrich’s political organization.
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."Yeah, they’re so unhappy now. But where were they in 200, 2002 and 2004? They lurved them sum turdblossom back then.
From that article, we read the new 2008 GOP meme:
I like that…”he did to us.” Ah, the GOP victims in Congress. Those victims who were unable to say “no” to anything coming from the WH, who were always ready to cover up or apologize for any sins of the WH.
That’s like the captain of the Titanic blaming the iceberg for putting itself in the unswerving path of the ship. “Of course we had to hit it; there’s nothing else we could have done!”
Dude, in a church. Very cinematic.
Bush had to whack him in front of a church full of people because they were afraid Rove would have a tantrum? That’s pretty freakin’ funny in itself: “Stay behind the barriers, people! This is risky! He could blow!”
And, as everyone knows, the Bush party wagon would’ve been rolling straight uphill all by itself — good times — except for that smelly crap Karl threw in the back. Right.
Maybe Oliver Stone can still fit it into his movie script.
He could’ve just sent him an e-mail.
“…and a child shall lead them….” straight off a cliff.
This is how republicans are feeling this year.
