Rove's Out: Why?

So by now you’ve probably heard: Rove’s resigning! Wow! I’m pretty amazed, I thought turdblossom would be loyal to the end. And perhaps he is, and this is a move designed to protect Cheney and Bush. Or perhaps it means they are fighting like a bunch of schoolgirls. Perhaps he just misses all that nighttime bottoming with Jeff. What do you think?

It’s hard to imagine how this administration will function without Karl. I wonder if this is just window dressing, and he’ll phone it in from home.

Ok, all stuff in Washington from the Iowa strawpoll onwards is geared around GOP Prez election theft campaigning. So, I say the timing is based on some heir apparent telling him to get out of Dodge. Or else the warrantless spying has found out stuff about Rove in just two days!

Rove alienated all the GOP frontrunners with his dirty tricks, like against McCain. So I take it as a sign that the McCain Express is back on track and was a sleeper on purpose.. Or maybe they declared Guiliani a loser or Romney is for sure the new BFF.

Either Congress was really going to get the the bottom of Rove (I know, we already know about seven and cut) and now he can conveniently be vacationing in Singapore… Or it is the election machinery is getting fired up. But I cannot believe Rove would just give up his Voter Vault without a fight. What is funny is there is ZERO Bush comments on this. Name another Bushie that has been suggested to resign or did leave that Bush wasn’t making up some lame excuse.

So either Rove couldn’t get them to Bomb Iran, or maybe he has some form of human blood in his body and found out we are going to Bomb Iran, and can forever say that he wasn’t a part of it. Is Rove a real neo-con or just uses them like he uses Bush’s “base”??

wow!

I just got a cryptic message from people digging into the Rove Blackberry and our friends’ server in the Volunteer State that mentioned Rove’s retirement.

It could be that I wasn’t too far off on the ’lost another Blackberry’… hmm.

[EDIT: What if some brilliant young Chattanooga l33t script kiddie saw the Smartech emails story and started sniffing for kr [at] usmc4hot.com and came across some classified blackberry stuff? They couldn’t just Gitmo and disappear a 16 yr old, could they? That might make more headlines, so they also couldn’t admit how insecure and illegal the secret backdoor email system was either… Maybe one of the sleestaks actually turned out to be whistle-blowing patriots.. (yeah right) How’s this for speculation.]

While I would love to see Rove's secrets

Exposure would be really a good thing, but until the executive privilege criminal offense against the constitution is fought out, and won, I think that evidence is going to stay secreted away. It would be great if Rove were jumping off just before a big newsy finding but I am only hopeful, not certain.

I suspect the WSJ being now the blood brother of Fox has a lot to do with the timing. Note that all the major so-called liberal media that tries usually to get it right had gone to press with other headlines - and are scrambling to get it into their online personae. That has the WH gleefully enjoying themselves, no doubt.

I understand Pepperdine Bumper Sticker Mill has his first job declaration.

Because his work is done?

What’s left for the man to destroy?

On the other hand, I could be completely wrong, and he wants to sign on with the Romney campaign.

Or maybe the Dems made a deal that if he steps down, he won’t be subpoenaed.

Funny, the timing, because generally in August they’re preparing to roll out new products… Maybe the product they’re preparing to roll out is so vile even Rove can’t get on board with it?

No authoritarians were tortured in the writing of this post.

who would have guessed it

I would have NEVER imagined something too unspeakable for Ashcroft, so.. who knows? Maybe even Rove finds something unthinkable.

Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey Good-Bye!

“Maybe the product they’re preparing to roll out is so vile even Rove can’t get on board with it?”

I shan’t sleep well tonight.

Hope it's not

I really hope it’s not
1. The “moderates” have lost the Iran debate and Cheney’s going to bomb within the next couple of weeks, and Rove knows that the Iranians will mine the Straights of Hormuz, taking gas up to $12/gal, destroying the US economy, and (what’s important of course) destroying Republican electoral hopes for a generation.
Maybe it’s
2. The NYT has decided it can longer sit on a story that demonstrates Rove’s guilt in re: attorneys or political briefings in the bureaucracy or bribes or all three.
I don’t think, as internets sez, that it’s pressure from other Republicans. When has Bush/Cheney given a shit about them?

Sleezy Jack

Black Hat Jack A has been telling family and friends for weeks now that Rove was going down, because he’s been giving the Fibbies all the junk he had on KKKarl.

Or perhaps Unka Dick is still pissed Scoots was thrown under bus to save KKKarl.

I keep thinking rat, meet sinking ship. So either he left to protect the Dubs from the sh*tstorm fixin to hit the Rovester flung by Abramoff, or KKKArl no longer wants to protect this WH more than he wants to cover his own butt. Which means for sure war with Iran.

So KKKarl is running to annoint and prepare the sanctified ground for the bigger than a Baghdad Embassy Sacred Monument and Holy Site for The.Best.President.Evah.

Or he’s gonna go hide in the ice bar in Dubai and buy camel jockey boys to serve at his pleasure. Or he’s off to Paraguay to build the defenses for the Dear leader.Maybe a moat of pirahna’s anacondas and crocodiles.

We’ll know soon enough. Like Sept3rd or so.

Bush isn’t campaigning for election, and Karl’s minions are probably seasoned enough to hold their own for a year or so. So, why keep a star performer on the sidelines when you could profit by renting him out?
