Rove gets touchy.

Rove gets touchy.
The Kansas City Star reports on President Bush’s visit to a GM plant today:
Besides his considerable security contingent, the chief executive was accompanied by Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove and Press Secretary Tony Snow.
A reporter approached Rove to ask him what he thought of rumors that former Missouri Sen. Jack Danforth could replace embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. “How about you go over there and do your job,” Rove replied, pointed back to the media pool.

Oh, how it sucks to BE the story. :)
March 20th, 2007 at 4:11 pmThis Rove is wonderful!!
March 20th, 2007 at 4:12 pmThat’s nothing new for Rove. He’s always been an arrogant jerk.
March 20th, 2007 at 4:12 pmSince when does the Constitution say Rove has to answer reporters’ questions too?
March 20th, 2007 at 4:13 pmGM has a plant in the U.S. that’s still open!????
March 20th, 2007 at 4:13 pmTry that when your under oath…turd blossom.
March 20th, 2007 at 4:14 pmRove’s worried his own legacy will resemble Ron Ziegler’s.
March 20th, 2007 at 4:15 pmWe will not allow the tyranny of the moonbats here at TP.
They want to establish a regime that takes away our Freedoms.
I will fight them to the death and never, never, never, give up.
President Bush Yea!!!
March 20th, 2007 at 4:16 pmWhere did TP say that Rove has to answer reporters’ questions?
This Rove sure is wonderful, as in full of arrogance and hypocrisy that makes me wonder about humanity.
March 20th, 2007 at 4:16 pmJake, do you ever picture Karl Rove’s face on the goat?
March 20th, 2007 at 4:17 pmCare for some cheese with that Whine Turdblossom?

You have to Forgive people like Jake that think an American troop killed every 8 hours in iraq is worth it….
3 troops a day …….. IS IT WORTH IT JAKE
March 20th, 2007 at 4:18 pmJake:“Since when does the Constitution say Rove has to answer reporters’ questions too?”
March 20th, 2007 at 4:19 pmIt doesn’t, Jake. See #3.
Assuming you get Rove under oath, M3Vega. There is such a thing as Separation of Powers. Or, do you think it would be proper for the Attorney General to subpoena Senator Lehey and ask him under oath about his suspected leaks of classified information?
March 20th, 2007 at 4:19 pm….good thing he didn’t get “feely” too!
p.s. flaco wants to be karl’s matt sanchez
March 20th, 2007 at 4:20 pmWell said Mr. Rove.

March 20th, 2007 at 4:20 pmWhat job might a reporter have other than to ask a senior political advisor questions relevant to the current White House scandal?
March 20th, 2007 at 4:21 pmAlas, Rove did not actually grope the reporter.
So, not “touchy,” but “testy.”
March 20th, 2007 at 4:21 pmI suppose that by saying “do your job” he meant “repeat our talking points/press releases and then shut up”.
Yeah, pretty arrogant. Then again I would expect that from rich elitists that bekiele they are above the law.
I see that the trolls were very quick to jump on this particular story, in large numbers and right off the bat.
I find that EXTREMELY telling… indeed.
March 20th, 2007 at 4:22 pmOoopsie. Looks like the reporter needs to go back to school to Journalmalism 101:
… let’s review the rules. Here’s how it works: the president makes decisions. He’s the Decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Just put ‘em through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration. You know – fiction!

Yeah!!!
How dare a reporter ask a public figure a question???
Doesn’t everybody know how dangerous it is to answer questions form reporters?
It would be different if Rove was innocent, wouldn’t it?
Then he would have nothing to worry about.
Anyway, this is actually a good sign. The are VERY worried about something.

Comment by Jake — March 20, 2007 @ 4:19 pm”
Jake….. I found a place in the Constitution that grants this type of Immunity to the Congress, but I could not find one for the President! Please provide where in the Constitution that I missed that!
“The Senators and Representatives … shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.”

March 20th, 2007 at 4:30 pm“It doesn’t matter if you’re under oath or not. If you lie to Congress, you lie to Congress. The ‘oath’ bit is for the people, not the lawyers.
Comment by DM — March 20, 2007 @ 4:22 pm”
Yeah, but there are almost NO cases of anyone being procecuted for lying to Congress. So it is VERY important for them to be sworn in.
March 20th, 2007 at 4:30 pmThe whole ‘under oath’ thing is pretty overbown. If you lie to Congress – oath or no oath – you have committed a crime that is punishable by up to 5 years in prison. The reason they make you say the oath is for them to have easily documentation that you understood the penalty for making false statements to Congress. Someone like Rove – in spite of his sparse education, used only to avoid the draft – should already know in his capacity as deputy chief of staff and with his security clearance, that lying to Congress is a huge offense, and you can probably find him on record saying so on more than one occasion. In any case, a defense of ignorance will not exonerate him from false testimony.
March 20th, 2007 at 4:35 pmI sincerly hope that reporter didn’t go running back to the pool with his sack tucked back. Just once I would like to see someone stand up to this prick and his little boy-toy. That’s what shrub is, karls’ boy-toy. And don’t tell me THEY don’t exhibit signs of latent homosexuality, I can just see them wrestling around in the oval office, and suddenly, a look, an embrace, and the words “I love you Karl”… O.K. now go hit yourself in the head with a hammer to erase that visual!!!
March 20th, 2007 at 4:35 pmThis is promising. Thus far, all we’ve seen from Rove is that smug, unflappable, know-it-all grin. If things weren’t spiraling out of his control he would have had a glib comment for the reporter.

The doc you presented makes a statement by the DOJ! I asked where in the Constitution does it make that statement! You and your like are always so quick to ask where something is in the Constitution….. Provide your evidence of where the Constitution states otherwise! I have shown where my evidence is…….
You still have not! DOJ is NOT the Constitution, and I don’t give a rats arse what they say! I care about what the Constitution says.
AGAIN! Show me where the Constitution states the President is immune! I showed that ONLY the Congress is by the language of the Constitution.

Yes it is…..
This way the Repubs can’t go and twist the story to fit their needs like they did in the Senate report about the Plame documents, which we now know was fabricated to fit their needs.
Putting them in the open gives no means, or at least little means, for them to be able to twist the facts much like what YOU love to do.
Our country was not founded on keeping things secret and from the public. It was founded on open government! If this administration has nothing to hide, why are they trying to hide everything?

He’s the only one who’s scared to come out of the closet.

March 20th, 2007 at 4:57 pmWhack-A-Mole with have Karl’s face on it.
In Jake’s authoritarian make believe world, Bush is the unitary executive and whatever Bush says is the law is the law. Bush has bought into this legal theory, too (thank you John Yoo), and it will be his downfall.
March 20th, 2007 at 4:58 pmGosh, wasn’t it the neocon/bush cultist who offered up “If you are innocent then you have nothing to hide” as a defense for the illegal wiretaps?
Just goes to show how much they do have to hide when the only venue that they find agreeable for Rove and Miers et al to testify in would be behind closed doors, not under oath, and no recording/transcript.
Fortunately, congress is going to tell them to pound sand and then subpoena them for very public, very recorded, and sworn testimony.
If there’s no dirt, then there is no reason to object to the lifting of the rug. Right Flaco? Right Jake? Right Patsy?
The only ones to complain then the pesticide comes out is the cockroaches.
March 20th, 2007 at 5:01 pmThe neocons forums must really really suck. Otherwise, why would Jake, Flaco, Patrick1 and other idiots like them insist on constantly posting their drivel on this forum.

My question wasn’t about “executive privilege” (which I don’t believe Rove has anyway).
I was asking you to… Explain why giving testimony under oath should be a problem?
And as expected, you once again dodged another question.

To be honest, I’m surprised they haven’t fired me yet f
March 20th, 2007 at 5:09 pmYou tell ‘em Karl!

I know I’m late, but…Jake, I am offended that you have the nerve to invoke what the Constitution says as part of your ‘arguement.’ Anyone who pledges blind faith to GWB and this administration is a traitor to the Constitution just like he is. Yes, I am questioning your patriotism.
To all you right wing trolls, do you follow the Constitution or do you follow Bush? You can’t have it both ways. Let’s see if any of you are man or woman enough to answer.
March 20th, 2007 at 5:21 pmIt would have been funny if the reporter had responded with something like “Oh, I’m sorry Mr. Rove”, walked to the area suggested by Rove, then shouted the same question back to Rove again.

I certainly did not intend to offend you and, as you will see, I will never question your patriotism. I do think your scenario about following the Constitution OR following Bush is a bit like: “Yes or no, have you stopped beating your wife?” Since I do not think Bush has violated any provision of the Constitution, I think I can follow him just fine, thank you very much.

Amendment 4 – Search and Seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Bush has said on TV several times that he AUTHORIZED wiretapping WITHOUT A WARRANT!!!!!
This is AGAINST the Constitution!!!!!!!

March 20th, 2007 at 5:38 pmThank you, midwestblue, let’s get back to the topic of Rove and whether private citizens have to answer liberal reporters’ questions.
March 20th, 2007 at 5:39 pmPardon me Jake, but exactly where does TP assert that rove or private citizens have to answer a reporter’s questions? Looks to me like they’ve merely reported on rove’s reaction to being asked a question.

I already responded to that crapy, non Constitution DOJ crap!
I asked for where in the Constitution, not what some hack at the DOJ has to say!
Provide the evidence from the Constitution as I have provided or Shut the Hell up!
March 20th, 2007 at 5:44 pmRove gets touchy with male whores all the time.

Qudrajet:
“Merely reported” with the ROVE GETS TOUCHY editorial? No wonder you don’t think there’s a liberal bias in the media.
March 20th, 2007 at 5:50 pmRemoveBush:
“Crappy, non constitution DOJ crap”? Oh, you mean the “crap” that every federal law enforcement officer who you ask to arrest the President of the United States is going to refer to? You read ALL of the U.S. Supreme Court cases cited in that OLC memo? Once you tell me you’ve done that, let me know if you still don’t understand the Constitutional issues.
March 20th, 2007 at 5:52 pmOK Jake, how would you describe rove’s reaction?
March 20th, 2007 at 5:54 pmI’m really looking forward to seeing what new controversy the GOP can dig up in an effort to divert attention away from the Gonzales mess.
I can’t imagine anything could trump this scandal, but I don’t put it past the GOP. They are pretty good at scandal diversion via new scandal. I’m sure the next scandal will be jam packed with “shock and awe”
March 20th, 2007 at 5:54 pmJake,
I know you’re way old enough to remember when a mentally constipated conservative punk thug named McCarthy hauled private citizens in for questioning, well it’s our turn to haul in a mentally constipated conservative punk thug named Rove.
Aint it time for your changing old man?
March 20th, 2007 at 5:57 pmDid you guys see / hear the President’s speech? Drudge is reporting: BLOCKS SUBPOENAS “there will be no show trials”!!!! LOL

March 20th, 2007 at 5:59 pmUS troops in Iraq want out
For US troops from 9th Cavalry Regiment bumping around the dangerous streets of Baghdad in Humvees after dark on Monday, news that their deployment in Iraq could be extended fell like a hammer blow.
“We just want to get out of here as soon as possible,” said one vehicle commander in one of his few printable comments.
“It could be tempting to look at the challenges in Iraq and conclude our best option is to pack up and go home,” Bush said, four years to the day after he announced that American troops were fighting to depose Saddam Hussein.
But the lower ranks were in rebellious mood, especially after publication of a poll on Monday, commissioned by the BBC, ABC News, ARD German TV and USA Today, which showed only 18 percent of those questioned had confidence in US and coalition troops, while 78 percent opposed their presence.
March 20th, 2007 at 6:00 pmDid you guys see / hear the President’s speech? Drudge is reporting: BLOCKS SUBPOENAS “there will be no show trialsâ€!!!! LOL Your move. Comment by Jake — March 20, 2007 @ 5:58 pm
“Drudge is reporting”, that’s a st*pid combination of words! BAHAHA, it sure does center you in the middle of the idiot brigade Jake! When you’re done Jake’ing off all over the thread, go back to the other little old men, and play checkers. We *real* men in the world can’t be bothered with ignorant dottering old fools like you. We have a democracy to save from you idiots!

Some people get wiser, others just get older and more foolish. What exactly are we supposed to respect again? Your stupidity or your ignorance, or maybe it’s your blind obedience and hypocrisy. Dum bass.
March 20th, 2007 at 6:02 pmI’m sorry, Jake. Where does it say that the reporter was a “liberal.”
Is that hidden in the Constitution? Do you have a link to back that
statement up? Or are you going to direct me to a past thread, where you
proved that the reporter was a liberal.
What’s the story here, Jake? I need proof. Post a d*mn link already!
Wait! Hold the phones, Jake. I was just told by the constitutional Lawyer
sitting next to me at the busstop, that there appears to be nothing in
the Constitution that says you have to answer that question, or even
provide me with a link of any kind. You win again, Jake.
Also, he seems to be under the impression there is not a gawl darn scribble anywhere in the Constitution that says anything about “links” or providing “links” to anyone at all!
Dang, you’re good at this!
*poof*
March 20th, 2007 at 6:03 pmTobey Tall:
This thread is about Rove (and, hopefully, now that the President has told Congress to go pound sand on subpoenas, we can really see what a bunch of impotent cowards they are). Please find one of the dozens of threads about Iraq to post that on.
March 20th, 2007 at 6:04 pmWhich is why I asked if anyone saw / heard the President’s speech, ValiantVenusGrewFromUranus — are you saying Bush did NOT tell Congress to go pound sand?
March 20th, 2007 at 6:05 pmI will prove the reporter is a liberal, just as soon as RemoveBush reads the OLC memo ; )
March 20th, 2007 at 6:09 pmJake they are hiring hereat TP. They could use a sharp dude like u.
I hear they pay their help with “Carbon Credits” though so maybe pass.
March 20th, 2007 at 6:10 pmBTW Valiant — are you denying that the President said this: “We will not go along with a partisan fishing expedition,” Bush said. “I have proposed a reasonable way to avoid an impasse. I hope they (members of Congress) don’t choose confrontation.”
Bush said he has given Gonzales and other members of his staff the green light to speak with Congressional committees to explain how the decisions to oust the prosecutors were made, with the caveat that their conversations are not conducted under oath.
“In this case, I recognize the importance of Congress understanding how and why this decision was made,” Bush said. “So I’ll allow members of Congress to interview key members of my staff.
“In the past 24 hours, the Justice Department has provided more than 3,000 pages … including those reflecting direct communication with White House staff,” Bush said in an evening press conference Tuesday, calling the move “unprecedented.”

Why? If they have nothing to hide, why is it a problem to testify under oath? After all, you CONs made it clear under Clinton, this is no big deal if you have nothing to hide. Hyporcites!! You’re all SOO FUNNNNYYY!!!

Yeah, sure…. You’re the same CONs that wanted unlimited access to Clinton’s staff, so much so you *settled* this with a supreme court case – did you not?

Unprecedented? BAHAHA, yeah, if you had your head shoved up your *ss under the Clinton administration, due to Clinton Derangement Syndrome!
What’s *unprecedented*, is a President so bent on shredding the constitution and American values! You *nazi* enablers are a hoot! Especially you *old-timers*! Talk about a bunch of checked out clueless nitwits! You’re just *dumb* old man!
March 20th, 2007 at 6:18 pmBTW Jake, I hate to inform you of this. But you sound even more like a 12 year old *girl* than Valiant Venus does. So it’s hard to imagine you’re a 75 year old anything, except in *dog* years. But since you *lie* with dogs, and tend to act like one – why wouldn’t that be the case? Right grandpa?
March 20th, 2007 at 6:21 pmFor the record, I did not bring up Clinton this time (also, a Special Prosecutor looking into Clinton’s misdeed is CONSTITUTIONALLY different than Congress doing so).
March 20th, 2007 at 6:23 pmJake,
I respect intellect regardless of age. I don’t respect you.
March 20th, 2007 at 6:44 pmI have a question, Jake.
Why wouldn’t they want to be under oath?
It’s not going to change their story, is it? I mean, they’re going to
tell the truth anyway? Right, Jake? That’s what’s going to happen whether
under oath, or not, isn’t it? They should be strong in their stance against
the terrorists, both domestic and foreign, in these perilous times.
These are righteous patriots we are talking about here, Jake! Not no d*mn commie librals!
They should proceed with confidence! And show the nay-sayers how to
govern a nation with righteousness! Not cowardliness! What are they? Democrats!.
Jake?
Why all the worry? A true patriot should not have to worry about a
silly little oath. A true patriot will stand strong to uphold the laws and
the will of his nation! Why let a pesky little triviality like being under
oath impede their path to this most righteous victory for this one nation
under god? I’m not worried. Why should they be? They, after all, they have been doing the right thing all along… protecting this great nation from it’s enemies. They have absolutely nothing to hide.
Let’s proceed. Shall we?

Ah, so that’s how you’re *weaseling* out of this. Cowards like you always try to find a *trick* or *loophole* to avoid accountability and responsibility. You must have made a *fine* middle manager, considering what a useless moron you are.
And tell me, who exactly testified before the Congressional Committee on Whitewater again?
So then you’re for the appointment of a Special Prosecutor? After all, this certainly is more of a *crime* than losing money on a land deal *ever* was. You do realize it was *Congress* that permitted that special prosecutor to have this *privilege*, right dum bass?
Or are you going to pull out the *mantra* of *this-is-different*, the way you GOP hypocrites always do?
You little useless twits are always good for a laugh – that’s for sure! Twist in the wind old timer, your boys are going *down*!
March 20th, 2007 at 7:00 pmHow about Karl Rove just answer the question… traitor Rove didn’t even recoginize that the reporter was doing his job… asking the tough questions.
Boy Bush and his girlfriend Rove are becoming quite testy lately… they must be afraid that their secrets will be exposed.
March 20th, 2007 at 7:52 pmActually I think that Bush’s “all in” today, just put Rove’s job in jeopardy.
March 20th, 2007 at 10:50 pmThey tried to let the weekend quiet things down, and it didin’t. Now Bush is taking an even more constipated position and that puts Rove in the hot seat big time. Ergo, Bush already felt he lost Gonzo, and now he feels now that he will take the final stand of Constitutional crisis over Turdblossom.
How lovely for them. “Johnny, what parting gifts do they get…”
WHY DON’T YOU GO BEFORE CONGRESS AND SPILL YA FAT-GUTS OUT UNDER OATH, YA FOUR-EYED FAT-F*CK Rove, YA TRAITOROUS CREEP AND STINKING HEAP OF ROTTING GARBAGE AND PUSTULENT VOMIT? OR ARE YA SCARED OF WHAT THEY’LL DO TO YA IN RETALIATION—-CHIMPya AND HIS GOONS OR YA PRISON “MATES” THAT ARE ITCHIN’ TO “MAKE YA SQUEAL LIKE THE FAT FAGGOT PIG YA ARE!!!!! HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!!!!

Umm, you already are part of that regime Flaco, just look around and read. Warrantless wiretaps, reading of your mail, the loss of habeas corpus, the unitary executive that abrogates the constitution.

You have not built a secure homeland you have built a prison.
Why can’t you, Flaco, Patrick 1 and Firehead comprehend how you have been duped into doing what you accuse the ‘left’ of?

March 21st, 2007 at 1:03 amIt would be so nice to see a long drawn out impeachment process. DW has the brain of a pea and i thought Rove was a bit smarter. Judging from the e-mails it looks like they have reached the status of “Dumb and Dumber” It will be so nice to watch. I have the Mexican packing by Friday.

March 21st, 2007 at 1:50 pmExcuse me, Jake, Rove and Bush are NOT PRIVATE CITIZENS. They are public officials making decisions ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTRY and thus ANSWERABLE to the People/Congress for ANY potential illegal and unlawful *GOVERNMENT DECISIONS*!!!!!! The suspicious political firing of Federal Prosecutors IS a decision that affects the country and everyone involved is answerable!!!! If Bush is f*cking Karl, that is a private decision, if Bush is doing something to public servants in his capacity as POTUS, then he is ANSWERABLE.
March 22nd, 2007 at 10:34 amKarl Rove is a total and utter, cowardly moron. Join the military tough guy, prove your worth if you think committing our soldiers to wars, or think you know anything about honor, bravery, or real-world-combat. Go fight the war then, give your blood, your sweat, your suffering — impose it upon your own family. And then, we will see what it is you really believe in…
