Rove busy shaping Bush’s legacy.
“In an interview this week in his windowless West Wing office, Karl Rove said that there is ‘very little’ discussion about President Bush’s legacy at the White House these days,” the Washington Post reports. But behind the scenes, Rove “has begun trying to put his own distinctive spin on current events and the longer historical view,” specifically asserting that the “Bush doctrine” will be adopted by future U.S. presidents.

Another victim of COD. Clinton Obsessive Disorder. Most often manifested in males who have an inability to appeal to females and are threatened by those with charisma and charm.
Witness the COD of Rush “Limpy” Limbaugh who has been unable to sire children and unable to maintain a healthy and longlasting relationship with a woman.

March 9th, 2007 at 1:13 pmOh Patrick, I actually feel sorry for how dumb you are. 9/11 was on Bush’s watch moron. In your delusional fantasy world the sitting president during 9/11 deserves none of the blame. Man you are freakin’ stupid.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:15 pmBush’s legacy, yeah right.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:15 pmALL future presidents will learn from Bush’s complete, utter, total, miserable failures how NOT to govern.
Bush’s legacy is simple: FAILURE. Bush has failed in everything he’s attempted as President (and before that, for that matter).
From failing to prevent the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil in our history, to a failed fiscal policy leading to record deficits, to a failed preemptive policy of waging war on Iraq. FAILURE.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:16 pmEveryone associated with this administration lives in an alternate universe. There is no other explanation for what they do or for what they say.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:16 pmThe “Bush Doctrine” needs to be adopted by future presidents because it has worked out so well for these guys. Bush’s legacy will be having future administrations undo the damage this one brought.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:17 pmthe “Bush doctrine†will be adopted by future U.S. presidents.
How does he figure this ? Let’s see…All the money has already been robbed from the poor & the middle class and given to the rich, so that can’t work anymore…His cowboy war hasn’t worked out too well, so that approach probably won’t work anymore either…So Rove must think that all future president’s will adopt the approach of being insane idiots.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:18 pmWow , what a Great Lie-gacy !
GSD, that’s fantastic.
Also consider Bushlexia and Rovonic plague.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:20 pmUh huh.
Rove is polishing something, alright.
Is that what Chimpy calls it? His legacy?
Cute.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:23 pmYes- Bushie will go down into history as the biggest, stinking A-hole since the infamous, anti-matter sucking Black Hole of the Andromeda Constellation in the Superstellar Gallaxy, Persius II.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:24 pmAs a historian, I can say with considerable confidence that, whether viewed from a proximate or a long-term perspective, George W. Bush’s legacy is sh*t.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:25 pmHe’s done a fantastic job and I’m proud of him. I only wish that Prescott was still alive to see this, instead of rotting in hell with his fraternity buddies. Come to think of it I guess that’s where George himself will be, in short order.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:27 pmBush’s Legacy :
mmm. Responsible for 9/11. Secret Prisons. Outing a CIA Operative.
Iraq War. Afghanistan War. Deplorable conditions at Walter Reed Hospital. Katrina Non-response. Medicare Blunder. Wiretapping.
Anthrax. Military Commissions Act. Disregarding the Constitution. Trying to privitize Social Security. This country’s disgraced position in the world. Corruption. Election Fraud. Ignoring Global Warming Crisis. ETC
Good Job Chimpie!
IMPEACH!
March 9th, 2007 at 1:28 pmZooey woke up mean today! You go girl! Zingers are flying…
March 9th, 2007 at 1:30 pmI hear that the movie version of the administration’s legacy has already been made, entitled “Bush Calamity and the RoveRants Kids”.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:31 pmClinton’s legacy is in downtown Manhatten.

That’s my troll! Dumbest ever.

Comment by Spudge_Boy — March 9, 2007 @ 1:07 pm
Spude_Boy: That windowless office is the Bat Cave. Georgie likes to go there dressed as Robin, and he makes everyone else play dress up too….Laura gets to dress up as the Joker. Gonzales dresses as the Penguin.Cheney, always slightly off theme, will only dress as Count Dracula….The big questions is who do they make play Cat Woman ?
March 9th, 2007 at 1:36 pm#19- Me?

He belongs to you? Well, then, you need to keep that critter under control. We’ve got leash laws in effect in this community.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:40 pmhe big questions is who do they make play Cat Woman ?
CONdi the Catwoman…
March 9th, 2007 at 1:40 pmMaybe we should ask the families of the 3,100 dead soldiers and the 22,000 wounded in Walter Reed and other VA facilities or maybe the victims of the Dubya Cabal’s “efforts” in the Gulf Coast after Katrina.
Bet they would help Pudge Boy Rover polish that sweet smelling Bush turd!
March 9th, 2007 at 1:47 pmWell . . . I guess when you have been a total failure at every aspect of life, and you’ve been the absolute worst president in history, your ‘turd blossum’ feels the need to try and save his own dome from getting intimate with the business end of a sharp blade at the chopping block.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:49 pmI wonder what special place in Emperor Bush’s “legacy” Jeff Gannon will have?
March 9th, 2007 at 1:52 pmIt’s my understanding that Turd-shaping gets more difficult as the turd dries up.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:53 pmRove busy shaping Bush’s legacy
I think Iraq has pretty much taken care of that, no matter what propaganda Rove or Fox tries…MISERABLE FAILURE!
March 9th, 2007 at 1:55 pmIf only Ronald Reagan hadn’t weakly cut and run from Lebanon after the bombings, the terrorists wouldn’t have been emboldened to attack Manhattan.
March 9th, 2007 at 1:56 pmbush’s legacy is nearly choking to death on a pretzel
March 9th, 2007 at 1:59 pmSome good stuff here.
March 9th, 2007 at 2:07 pmBush’s legacy (if it can be called that) is perfectly embodied in knuckle-dragging, windowlicking, mouthbreathers like Patrick.
March 9th, 2007 at 2:25 pmakadad – congrats – you’ve out-stupid-ed patrick!
March 9th, 2007 at 2:26 pmBush’s Legacy will be 9/11 on his watch, starting an illegal war in Iraq and not helping after Katrina.
Nothing more, nothing less.
March 9th, 2007 at 2:28 pmWhich Bush Doctrine Is Rove talking about. It has changed at least 4 times already. Surely it has another couple of reinventions to go. Obviously, we need to prepare for an onslaught of cherry-picking.
March 9th, 2007 at 2:33 pmIf there is one thing Americans hate it is failure. We hate it when our Olympic basketball team gets its ass kicked by Argentina. We hate it when Bodi chokes in the downhill. And we especially hate it when a President’s poor leadership causes us to lose two wars in one decade. Failure is exactly how he will be remembered.
The only President in the history of this great nation to lose two wars in the same decade is how he will be remembered.
March 9th, 2007 at 2:36 pm“Bush’s Legacy”
by
-The People of the United States of America-
Only President ever:
IMPEACHED (and successfully removed from office)…
INCARCERATED (for TREASON, high crimes and misdemeanors)…
IMPOVERISHED (all assets confiscated by the federal government)…
EXTRADITED (to the Hague to stand trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity)…
March 9th, 2007 at 2:39 pmThe real Bush legacy is he ruined the Republic party for a generation. They will have many years of wandering in the wilderness of the minority party after Bush leaves office.
March 9th, 2007 at 2:40 pmben sez:
Remember, ben, Chimpy won’t technically ‘lose’ the wars, because he’ll refuse to end them. As long as you’re still fighting, you don’t have to admit defeat. He’ll pass them off to his (most probably) Democratic successor, and let the next administration ‘lose’ the wars.
Never mind that we know the wars are unwinnable right now…that’s how the Repugs are going to try to paint this. At this point, it’s the only way their party can survive to fight another day.
March 9th, 2007 at 2:44 pmShaping his legacy?
Last I heard, he was polishing it…
Well, I suppose one can only polish some cheap revolver taken from a deposed dictator so many times before it gets rubbed away to nothing…
What’re you shaping up this time Karl?

It’s amazing how malleable big piles of shit can be, eh Karl?
March 9th, 2007 at 3:41 pm34. Which Bush Doctrine Is Rove talking about
Comment by DallasNE
Easy, “Mein Kampf”.
March 9th, 2007 at 3:49 pmThe “Bush Doctrine” – Miserable failure as the overriding domestic and foreign policy objective.

March 9th, 2007 at 5:12 pmBe sure to take along an asbestos suit – that’s not for committing an act of self destruction, but for posting the same drivel in multiple threads!
#35 – rachel,
With a Porto Rican accent: “She’ll be back. A couple a quaalude, she’ll be back in the morning.”
March 10th, 2007 at 1:07 amI see that Bush is left stupidly non-responsive when asked to comment on Chavez during his Latin American spew trip.
March 10th, 2007 at 2:29 pmWhile he is generally non-responsive and has a blank stare, otherwise known as being brain dead, it occurred to me that karl Rove is not within wireless mic distance, so Bush isn’t allowed to speak.
Does anyone keep an hourly track of Rowe’s location?
This would be MOST revealing, I think.
Karl Miss Piggy Rove IS BUSY SHAPING CHIMPya’s LEGACY–Take it away, George W.:
March 10th, 2007 at 3:57 pm“With jus’ a hundret pounds o’ SHIT
