Rove’s post-White House plans.
Karl Rove recently stayed at the Twin Lakes Nordic Lodge in Colorado and chatted with the owner, Charlie Gandy, about his plans after the White House. According to Gandy, Rove has “still got legal bills to pay” and he plans to “write books” after he leaves the White House in 18 months. When Gandy told a few guests that Rove was staying in the lodge, one visitor replied, “Karl Rove?! I’d like to kick his a$$.”

July 24th, 2007 at 8:02 pmDid he happen to mention Paraguay and somebody named Guckert?
July 24th, 2007 at 8:03 pmI’m sure Rove will be very successful.
July 24th, 2007 at 8:04 pmwow, this is news?
July 24th, 2007 at 8:04 pm#3: I’m sure Rove will be very successful.
At what? Helping to drive the nation into debt? Helping to start an illegal and disastrous war? Helping to orchestrate the most corrupt and incompetent presidency in the history of this nation?
Mission accomplished.
July 24th, 2007 at 8:05 pmmy fondest fantasy over the past years is that satan will return early to claim the marker kkkarl gave him in exchange for his soul… hey, there’s still 18 mos…!
And, yes, I DO take it personally
July 24th, 2007 at 8:10 pmRove, rove your boat, gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, life is just an oil-nazi dream…
July 24th, 2007 at 8:14 pmMaybe his book will be titled, “At Any Cost” or “The Truth is for Pussies” or “My Friend Jeff”.
July 24th, 2007 at 8:15 pmGood for Karl. I hope all the Judges are put in place so he wont have to pay for his crimes. With the one party system failing now that the secret is out. Karl might look to teach future Republicans and even Ralph Reed some tricks on how to destroy the United States Constitution. Look Ralph and Jack did a great job at robbing the American Indian so why not the rest of the American minorities. Karl is looking to have a best seller as Americans run to buy his book, watch out Harry Potter. Bush will must likely give Karl Rove the highest American honor as he helped the Republican party bring the once great United States of America to the lowest it’s ever been.

I second that!!!
July 24th, 2007 at 8:21 pmRove’s post-White House plans – should be behind bars.
July 24th, 2007 at 8:24 pmTP can’t discuss issues so this crap surfaces.
July 24th, 2007 at 8:31 pmKarl Rove’s future should be life in prison with no parole.
July 24th, 2007 at 8:34 pm“Karl Rove?! I’d like to kick his a$$.â€
Aye, me too. Then nurse him back to perfect health, and kick it again.
July 24th, 2007 at 8:36 pm#13 ~ Here’s an issue: Rove has smugly worked behind the scenes to derail investigations in DoJ by having key prosecutors fired. Discuss.
July 24th, 2007 at 8:38 pmBreaking: Rove’s book to be titled, “The Complete Idiot’s Guide To Ruining Nations.”
July 24th, 2007 at 8:39 pmI do think Rove is going to need a new career; probably not too many Republics interested in taking his advice for election campaigns after the debacle of 2006.
July 24th, 2007 at 8:43 pmI would have gone looking for him at the lodge. I’d take the assault charge. I’d turn myself in if I pounded that pasty-faced, porcine puke in the chops!
July 24th, 2007 at 8:46 pmI’m sure Karl Rove is going to have plenty of time to write books…once he flees to Dubai after 2009.
Of course, if we’re very lucky, TurdBlossom will be doing his writing from a jail cell in the Hague, as he awaits his trial date. Either way, he’ll have plenty of time.
July 24th, 2007 at 8:46 pmHe’s going to have to leave the country after he leaves the white house, or risk getting his ass kicked by angry Americans on a daily basis.

Comment by Jeffrey Stewart
And believe me the money would have poured in to bail you out and pay for your defense.
July 24th, 2007 at 8:49 pmYes…that would make it even more tragic when Jeffrey suffers an “accident” and dies in custody.
These subhuman slime care absolutely nothing for human life. They have thrown thousands of American lives away, not to mention hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives. Do you really think they’d balk at one more?

Assault is rather barbaric, I’ll assume you were just being satirical. Did Zooey teach you?
July 24th, 2007 at 9:03 pmWhy exactly do you hate Rove so much? What crime has he commited? I think most here have been enabled in your partisanship to the point where you sound insane.
July 24th, 2007 at 9:07 pmKarl Rove was in the College Republicans doing dirty tricks during the 1972 campaign. Muskie’s campaign was sabotaged as the Republicans wanted.
July 24th, 2007 at 9:09 pmwhat crime did Goebbels commit?

Outing a covert CIA operative makes me the angriest.

So is lying this nation into an unjust war, sacrificing thousands of American lives (as well as hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives), reducing an entire country to complete anarchy, and poisoning it with enough depleted uranium to insure it remains a forsaken wasteland for all time.
Next to all this, a poke in the chops is rather prosaic. But leave it to you to warble “assault!”. Once again, you demonstrate your complete lack of a sense of proportion.
Still trying to beat that horse, I see, despite the fact that it was DOA before you even started. Go ahead…keep flogging. You’re only succeeding in pointing out your own astonishing lack of comprehension.

These actions are a Neocolon’s idea of satire.
July 24th, 2007 at 9:14 pmThis is totally hilarious! No wonder these WH criminals keep themselves so insulated.

Flee the country?
Avoid extradition?
Learn to speak Paraguayan?

Jeffrey Stewart was stating what physical harm he would have done. I thought that was barbaric.
I didn’t read all the stuff you pasted, but two wrongs don’t make a right, do they?
July 24th, 2007 at 9:33 pmI hope some disgruntled soldiers back from Iraq pay rove a visit once he leaves the Whitehouse. Somehow I don’t think they will be content with just “Kicking” his fat ass. I’d be willing to give a years wages for their defense team.
July 24th, 2007 at 9:35 pmHere’s hoping Rove will have time to pen tomes on the affairs of state while he’s doing hard time in the state pen for his affairs.

Two wrongs? Please elaborate.

First of all, dolt, I didn’t “paste” anything. I wrote it. Those are my words. I know the concept may be foreign to you neocon apologist mouth-breathers, but some of us are actually capable of a) having original thoughts, and b) setting them down in print. Sorry if that threw you.
Second, if you can’t marshal the necessary mental focus to read forty-seven lousy words, you’ve just shown another way in which you are unqualified to participate here.
Ask your hero Chimpy that question. How many criminals were executed in Texas during his reign as Governor?

Pssst… Martha… r is notorious for running off when you catch him up. Be ready for a non-reply.
July 24th, 2007 at 9:44 pm“Kick his ass”?
More intelligent commentary from the left.
Q: So what do you think about (insert republican here)?
Lib A: Id like to kick his ass!
Not that this is anything new, repubs and conservatives are used to being assaulted by libs, whether it be pie throwing, slashed tires, shot-up RNC offices, smashed recruiting offices or attacks on servicemen.
The obvious answer to this thread topic is, “no kidding”.
July 24th, 2007 at 9:50 pmone visitor replied, “Karl Rove?! I’d like to kick his a$$.â€
Now just maybe he thought Karl would enjoy that. Not unlike the Trolls who come here regularly for the same thing.
July 24th, 2007 at 9:56 pmI think there are numerous soldiers who would gladly kick his fat ass. He is a lot of the reason we have lost many lives in Iraq. That pudgy f*ck will never sleep easy, nor should he.
Notice the absence of W04 stickers? Think that could be because they too are afraid of some true retribution for the lies and lives lost?
Bush kills. And so do his supporters. Eye for an eye? How does that sound sycophants?
July 24th, 2007 at 9:56 pm“he plans to “write books†after he leaves”?
Hmmm.Word has it that he is going to start a new rapping boyband called “The Backside Boys”
July 24th, 2007 at 10:00 pmYes…that would make it even more tragic when Jeffrey suffers an “accident†and dies in custody.

You’re right TMM. For a moment I forgot we weren’t talking about normal people in a normal United States government. Thankfully Jeffrey wasn’t at the lodge.
July 24th, 2007 at 10:02 pmKarl Rove is going to find life very uncomfortable after Bush leaves office and the GOP finds itself in ruins.

But invading a sovereign nation to steal their oil is just helping the people to be free.
Why don’t take your irony, Thing r, and shove it where your head is lodged.
July 24th, 2007 at 10:04 pmI’m surprised the guests at the hotel didn’t ask for a refund due to contagion by proximity to a card-carrying member of the reichstag.
July 24th, 2007 at 10:06 pmI suspect that Karl Rove will either become known as the Evil Genius who masterminded singlehandedly the coup on this democracy and it’s descent into fascism or will become a pudgy, pasty little pariah and will fade into obscurity. I suspect that no one will buy his books because we’ve seen enough of his diabolical schemes up close and personal. He’s sure to fail at whatever path he takes.
July 24th, 2007 at 10:08 pmveritas > Karl Rove is lucky I was not at that hotel, because I would have walked by his table at breakfast and dumped all my food on his face and lap. I would have told the Secret Service that I tripped > lol.

I’ve been enlightened shane, TripMaster Monkey enlightened me that it was just being facetious.
I don’ know how that jibes with your “invading sovereign nations†goes. I didn’t indicate that I’d do that. I was just saying that TP Jeffrey Stewart sounded barbaric.

Bill-O also thinks that the Americans were the ones who massacred the Nazis at Malmedy.
July 24th, 2007 at 10:40 pmMy gosh Gonzales was really sad today. This guy is a joke. What’s much more pathetic though, is that Republicans are putting up with this in their party. And that it’s far from the first time. Remember how they rallied around Rumsfeld for so long even after it was clear for so long he was falling down on the job with our boys dying as a result? Or how they tried to cover up Foley to save his seat and themselves from the fallout of the negative publicity of the truth would bring? Or how Bush told that dope Brownie he was doing a “heckuva job”? This is beyond partisan. What the Republicans have become is just sad for America.

Unfortunately America didn’t get to see Alberto’s performance today. The librul MSM barely made mention of it in their news programs today.
It’s as though it never happened.
July 24th, 2007 at 10:58 pmLooks like other people have plans for Karl Rove too….putting a boot up his fat ass.
Good.
July 24th, 2007 at 11:26 pmOkay, point of satire here, for the trolls’ sake . . .
We need a “Boots Across America” campaign for when Bush, et. al leave the White House. Could someone calculate how many volunteers it would take to line up one after another for fifteen hundred miles and kick his ass all the way back to Texas?
Posted properly on the net, “Boots Across America” could prove an additional gauge on how pissed-off people are about the weasel-in-chief.
July 24th, 2007 at 11:42 pmI have decided that from today on, I refer to Gonzales as Bush’s Consigliere. As in, Alberto Gonzales, Consigliere and Execu-sycophant.
July 25th, 2007 at 12:24 amPathetic, and scary..
If he doesn’t get impeached, I hope one of those angry folks
TAKES HIM HUNTING…
July 25th, 2007 at 2:41 amI watched the hearing yesterday on CSPAN3, (go to CSPAN.org and you can watch live on your computer) and it was really pathetic. Opening statement was made, and then the questioning began…..a whopping 3 Republicans deigned to show up to question him–
July 25th, 2007 at 7:06 amArlen Specter, Jeff Sessions, and the biggest loser, John Kyl from Arizona.
Secter and Sessions stayed on subject, while Kyl, who is from Arizona, went off topic to discuss sports and other non-related topics…..
At any rate, after these three, he faced Democrat after Democrat after Democrat, and gave, as you’d suspect, a dismal performance.
It was fun, however, to watch him crumble like a porn star enduring her first gang bang. George would be so proud…..
Rove? Write non-fiction?????
I can’t imagine the turdstain could possibly tell the difference at this point.
July 25th, 2007 at 7:43 amSo Karl Rove has post-Bush plans that don’t include “architecturing” another Repub White House victory? Wow — even he must realize that it would take a miracle to convince the American people that the Repubs should remain in power.
July 25th, 2007 at 8:25 amsomeone should market t-shirts to be used as reference material in the event these crooks don’t go straight to the Hague–with pictures of America’s most wanted criminal “executives”…..most people will recognize the top two (Bush&Cheney) but Rove and other lesser known criminals would probably not be immediately recognized by most. Kind of like a portable a$$ kickin’ list.
July 25th, 2007 at 8:53 am“…repubs and conservatives are used to being assaulted by libs, whether it be pie throwing, slashed tires, shot-up RNC offices, smashed recruiting offices…”

recruiting offices? Since when did they become strongholds for repubs?
Now, it is true that the SS recruiting offices used to be strongholds for Nazis. Maybe that is what you had on your tiny troll mind?

You know, I thought about that, but they are so cumbersome and you can lose them. The t-shirts, however, could be part of a collectible promotional line. Maybe CITGO gas stations could give them away with a fill-up or something.

I also heard her speak in person at a Peace Corps conference in 1995.
You’re right. She was a real public servant.

July 25th, 2007 at 9:26 amAccording to Gandy, Rove has “still got legal bills to pay†and he plans to “write books†after he leaves the White House in 18 months.
The only kind of a book that Rove could write would be a fantasy novel. He is incapable of speaking or recognizing the truth so any book that comes from him will be filled with his fantasy notions and lies to back them up. But, being a neoCON, I’m sure they will sell well. Those neoCONs can’t get enough lies to satisfy them so they will always be looking for more.
July 25th, 2007 at 9:59 amSeriously, gang, Karl Rove needs to be held accountable, as does the current corrupt, criminal president, and his president-in-charge-of-Vice, SiCKO DiCKO.
All three of those chumps blather about “personal responsibility” and “accountability,” but not one of that gang of three has yet had to account for their criminal actions.
A$$ kicking simply isn’t enough for any of them!
(…but it’s a start) {:-)
July 25th, 2007 at 10:09 amlet’s hope that the Senate Judiciary committee follows through and appoints a special prosecutor (Fitzgerald?) to dig into this whole DOJ mess. Then, W can have his Nixon moment where he demands that the special prosecutor is fired, and you know all the rest…..
