Rove berates GOP lawmaker over Iraq meeting.
Rove berates GOP lawmaker over Iraq meeting.
“Top Bush administration officials lashed out at a pair of House Republicans at the White House yesterday after details about a contentious meeting between President Bush and GOP legislators were leaked to the media earlier this week.”
Sources said that Dan Meyer, Bush’s liaison to the House, confronted LaHood while White House political strategist Karl Rove rebuked Kirk. It is unclear if LaHood or Kirk were the original sources for the stories, but LaHood was quoted in one of the articles.
Regardless, LaHood and Meyer got into a shouting match as emotions ran high and voices were raised yesterday morning in the White House while lawmakers were waiting to meet with first lady Laura Bush, according to two legislators who witnessed the exchange. LaHood and five other GOP lawmakers met with Mrs. Bush in the Yellow Oval in the White House residence to chat about the No Child Left Behind law.
“The White House is not happy,” said a Republican lawmaker. [...]
Several lawmakers who attended one or both meetings did not fault Bush, but blamed his aides for overreacting.
“They can have such thick skin,” said Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.), who attended the meeting on Tuesday. “[President Bush] ought to embrace this and be seen as getting input from everyone.”

Look, I know these guys a political pros, but it seems to me that if you are going to throw a hissy fit, you might wanna do it in private.
May 10th, 2007 at 9:03 pmWhy are Karl Rove and Tom DeLay…
…still taking up space on the planet?
May 10th, 2007 at 9:05 pmToo bad they didn’t bite each other. I love seeing the GOP eat their own.
May 10th, 2007 at 9:06 pmUnravelling.. One thread at a time..
May 10th, 2007 at 9:06 pmWorst President EVER!
May 10th, 2007 at 9:07 pmGetting tired of hearing about the spectering of these worried Republicans.
May 10th, 2007 at 9:09 pmThe white house is not happy. Six years of pure incompetence, staggering ineptitude, and criminal disconnect, and they’re not happy! Having to face up to their bullshit is making them desperate.
May 10th, 2007 at 9:09 pmSomething is out of control here. Who, what, where does the control emanate from? Was Rove elected? This seems to make the Justice Department seem to be an ark of stability!
May 10th, 2007 at 9:10 pmJust heard on MSNBC that those 11 who had their “chat” with W yesterday all voted against the new funding bill in the previous thread.
May 10th, 2007 at 9:11 pmON MONDAY MORNING, April 27, 1953, the small group of students in Professor Herbert Clark’s radiochemistry class at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute walked into the metal shack that served as their laboratory, located high on a hill overlooking the city of Troy in upper New York State. The students set about making preparations for the day’s experiments, but then Professor Clark interrupted to draw their attention to something unusual. All the Geiger counters were registering radiation at many times the natural rate.
Since instruments nearest the outer walls were giving the highest readings, several students immediately went outside with a portable Geiger counter. At once they found that wherever they walked, the count rate on the ground was far above normal, in some places a thousand times as high. In particular, beneath the spout of the gutters that carried the rainwater down off the roof of the shack, the needle gave a disconcertingly high reading. Evidently the previous night’s heavy rains had brought down large amounts of radioactivity.
Guess what…That actually happened!
May 10th, 2007 at 9:14 pmNo wonder the Republicans have gotten us into such a mess: they don’t even know the difference between thick skin and thin skin!
May 10th, 2007 at 9:15 pm#9 -
May 10th, 2007 at 9:16 pmIt passed anyway.
Karl doesn’t like it when anyone else talks to George.
May 10th, 2007 at 9:21 pmAll of us who knew little karl, were fully aware of his evil ways and were horrified when Scalia wrote those words of INFAMY, “Undue Harm”. No one person has caused MORE harm to this nation than this waste of skin. Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall…..I don’t wish to see his reward.
May 10th, 2007 at 9:22 pmOh lordy! We got some dirty laundry being aired now!
May 10th, 2007 at 9:22 pmRight you are Zoo – all those brownshirts and leather jockstraps……
May 10th, 2007 at 9:27 pmI guess the difference here is the White House is unhappy over this, and I’m unhappy about all the dead people their policies create…

Brillo pads please….
May 10th, 2007 at 9:35 pmRove finally has his divided America–too bad he’s on the wrong side of that divide. He should be, as the White House’s “Chief Political Officer,” finding a way to get Bush’s approval rating to at least half of what Clinton’s was.
May 10th, 2007 at 9:36 pmUB – this lot would probably enjoy that…. don’t encourage them.

My comment was totally self-centered. I need the brillos to scrub the visuals of the pasty white glutenous ‘cons in minimal animal-skins from my eyes… :D
May 10th, 2007 at 9:42 pmUB – you don’t find that image irresistible? Karl Rove, brownshirt open, jockstrap pulled tight under his pasty, distended belly, cooing with delight as he is scrubbed pink by fresh Brillo pads….?
May 10th, 2007 at 9:52 pmWhat do these people still have to fear from Karl Rove?
This guy should have told him, “Rove, you’re outta here in 18 months. I’ll still be here legislating while you’re eating rubber chicken on the public speaking circuit in Texas, appearing on Fox Noise and writing your stupid memoirs, you fat bloat! Now get out of my office!”
A guy can fantasize, can’t he?

No more than you find black leather chaps and a thick spiked collar on the emanicated Ann Coulter, hiding her package up her wazoo, with that throbbing adam’s apple and shrill voice that makes your ears bleed telling you what a baaaaad boy you’ve been.
May 10th, 2007 at 9:57 pmHow many more enemies can Rove afford?
May 10th, 2007 at 9:57 pmOoh sh*t – you win….. I visibly shuddered. Anyone in sight of me at Minneapolis airport could see that… and now they are closing the bar – better find a plane to take me home. If I have nightmares tonight….
May 10th, 2007 at 10:02 pmFred Green #23…
…Karl Rove (and ALL of his co-conspirators in the criminal Bushite junta)…
…must NOT be allowed to go back to business as usual…
…they have committed war crimes, crimes against humanity, and stolen hundreds of billions…
…Liberal Progressives aren’t being vocal enough in demanding…
…the criminal prosecution and povertization of the criminal Bushites…
…KNOW THIS…
…if the Bushites aren’t criminally PROSECUTED…
…NO future administration will EVER be held accountable for HIGH CRIMES and misdemeanors…
…KISS American democracy, justice, ethics and morality…
…GOODBYE…

Oh … here I go again …
May 10th, 2007 at 10:10 pmUh, Mr. Davis:
Several lawmakers who attended one or both meetings did not fault Bush, but blamed his aides for overreacting.
“They can have such thick skin,†said Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.), who attended the meeting on Tuesday. “[President Bush] ought to embrace this and be seen as getting input from everyone.â€
Thin skin. Thin skinned is what they are (and that decidedly included the Deciderator-In-Chief), you moron.
Cheers,
May 10th, 2007 at 10:11 pmSomebody should stick somthing sharp in this silly son of a bitch and let the air out of him. He looks like a fat balloon. KKKarl Rove is the answer to all our problems…once he is convicted and put into a cell with Big Bubba…he will not harm our constitution anymore.
May 10th, 2007 at 10:11 pmI’d love to offer my services.
May 10th, 2007 at 10:14 pmSharpening their knives to a razor’s edge.
TerrytheTurtle and unbelievable,
Well I hope you two are happy. But I think you’re tied, both visions are equally repulsive, way to go.
May 10th, 2007 at 10:14 pmShane,
I’m sending you a wire brush for your eyes. It might be enough….

Night all!
May 10th, 2007 at 10:17 pmAnybody know where I can get some imagination bleach?
May 10th, 2007 at 10:20 pmor a wire brush for my mind?
Have to keep my teddy bear close to me tonight now…..still 4 hours away from home though… Ann might get me….night UB.

Thanks Zooey, Rove and Coulter! Give you the heebie jeebies doesn’t it?
May 10th, 2007 at 10:27 pmRUCerious,
Imagination bleach, you should patent that! That and Zooey’s wire brush and I may be able to sleep.
May 10th, 2007 at 10:28 pmTerry, have a good flight, don’t worry about the guy in the row ahead of you whose sneaker is on fire.
May 10th, 2007 at 10:31 pmShane, I’ll file my patent along with the LyingBastard-O-Meter and the WTF-Incredulometer.
(Karl, late at night, wandering alone through the White House, head down, thumbs wildly flailing his Blackberry, literally bumps into George, also preoccupied with something in his hands….)
“Whoa, George, you startled me, what are you doing up?”
“Heh, heh, even 3 of those pills you give me don’t do the trick no more, Turdy”
“I told you not to call me that!”
“Yeah? What are you gonna do about it, fire me?”
“What have you got there? … oh my lard, it’s Saddams pistol! Who told you you could get that out without permission?
” Listen, tubbo, I’m sick and tired of having you, and Dick, and Mommy telling me what I can and can’t do, and I’m going to put an end to it right now!”
“Oh, please George, old buddy, old pal, don’t shoot me, I’ll do anything you want, I’ll, I’ll even…”
“Oh shut up blimpy, what are you blubbering on about? And why are you still texting? I’m not going to shoot you, or anyone else, at least, no one but, well, you know, I’ve been thinking…”
“I warned you about thinking, George, it’s dangerous you know……”
“Yeah, yeah, heh, heh, but, but, if I was real careful, and stayed real still, I might actually do something right, for once in my life, know what I mean?”
“Say, you just might have something there, Dum… I mean Dubya…
May 10th, 2007 at 10:35 pmoh, hey, I gotta go, a former reporter just came in through the kitchen entrance, I gotta come… I mean go…. why don’t you just go on up to your office and think some more, George, eh?”
Hey Rover, go f*&k yourself. Better yet why don’t YOU go to Iraq and walk through an open air market. Maybe a mortar just might hit you! If anyone in the Republican party had any balls, they would stand up to you, tell you to go to hell, and berate you in front of everyone.
In the end you will get yours … there is a cell door with your name on it.
May 11th, 2007 at 12:02 amRepublicans can’t even get their analogies right. Rep. Tom Davis (R) says White House Aides have “thick skin”? Huh? Thin skin and thick heads is more like it.
AF
May 11th, 2007 at 12:06 amIs there another person in the US that deserves a good old fashioned a$$-whooping more than Karl Rove? What a fat pasty, whiny little b!tch.
