Rove: Media Are To Blame For Why The Economy ‘Stinks’
Rove: Media Are To Blame For Why The Economy ‘Stinks’
Recent polls have shown that a large majority of Americans think the economy is in bad shape. Indeed, stock markets are volatile, the mortgage crisis has worsened and President Bush recently released a record breaking budget that is expected to cause rising deficits. While the skyrocketing costs of the Iraq war are not helping, job and wage growth are weak, family debt is rising and the poverty rate remains high.
Yet the right wing continues to downplay the faltering economy. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) recently blamed it all on the American people, saying that it’s just “psychological.”
Last night on Fox News, former Bush aide Karl Rove claimed that the economy is partly responsible for his former boss’s record low approval ratings. But according to Rove, the media — not Bush’s disastrous policies — are to blame:
O’REILLY: The negativity toward President Bush is Iraq driven?
ROVE: I think it’s principally. I think the economy — the media has been beating the drum for years and years and years that the economy stinks. And after a while, that begins to color people’s attitudes.
Watch it:
Experts, including Fed Chariman Ben Bernanke, have also concluded that the economy is in decline. And even though Bush recently recognized “uncertainties” in the economy, he continues to paint a rosy picture, saying that a recent White House “report indicates that our economy is structurally sound.”

No Porky the Pig… You are to blame!
February 12th, 2008 at 5:25 pmGet this guys off the air. He is going to lie and lie and lie and lie and lie.
He’s wrong of course. He’s left his in ruin. Luckily our country is stronger than one moron like this or it would be in ruins as well.
Hey Rove, just go away please. If you do that, I will call you patriot. But only if you agree never to say anything about anything ever again.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:27 pmIf I had one wish it would be to see that fat POS in a prison cell with a cellmate named “white power bill”. I wonder if he squeels like a pig.;)
February 12th, 2008 at 5:27 pmIt is always the MEDIA ! Never perhaps our policies and war took us down the drain. Surely they can find a way to blame Clinton he has only been out of office 7 years.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:28 pmIn a fair world, this disgusting pus gut would be in jail. In Bush’s world, he is worthy of a medal of honor.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:28 pmBWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…
Wow… now, THAT’S funny.
At least he didn’t try to lay the blame off on bloggers.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:30 pmif by “media” he means “republicans in government” then he’s onto something.
otherwise he merely retains the title of world’s most brazen liar.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:30 pmThis is the typical Republican elite mantra. Notice how it works:
1. Institute policies that cause a dramatic shift in wealth to the upper 1% of the population.
2. Assert that it is the poor who are causing a drain on the finances of most families because of their welfare needs and high taxes to supply it.
3. Beat the drum of personal responsibility. If you fail in this country, it is because you are morally inferior.
4. Use gross economic indicators to show that the economy is still growing and allege that all citizens are benefiting.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:31 pmYeah! The media! Yeah! That’s the ticket! Blame them - it’s their fault.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:33 pmI have frequently criticized the media for neglecting their responsibility in reporting the news, refusing to challenge the administration, and kowtowing to their corporate owners, but the state of the economy is hardly a fault of theirs. People are out of work and in deep financial trouble; the future doesn’t look promising — yet, according to Rove, all those problems wouldn’t exist were it not that the media continues to report the financial woes across the nation.
Would someone put a sock in his mouth? I’ve had enough of him and his bulls**t.
The world according to KKKarl –> “Quit watching TV (except FoxSnooze). Don’t read the newspaper (except the WSJ). Just go out and shop.”
February 12th, 2008 at 5:34 pmYup, that makes sense… its the media that’s putting less money in my pocket… its the media that’s killing our soldiers… its the media that’s torturing people…..
oh my god… we shouldn’t be fighting Iraq… we should be fighting the media!!!
February 12th, 2008 at 5:34 pmBut, wait. According to Rove, the good economy of the ’90’s was because of the Repub congress - shouldn’t he give the 90’s media credit for Bill Clinton’s good economy if he’s going to give current media credit for Bush’s bad economy? Let’s have some consistency here.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:34 pmIF THERE’S ANY ONE THING THAT NEOKKKONS HATE….IT’S THE TRUTH.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:35 pmThey have been beating the drum for years that we are winning the war; that they do not torture people; that they are competent in their jobs…
None of that seemed to “color the people’s attitude.”
February 12th, 2008 at 5:35 pmI think that seeing Karl Rove in an orange jumpsuit would do a lot to improve the “psychological” state of mind of the public, McCain.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:36 pmIt wouldn’t help the economy at all, but a whole lot of people would feel real good.
Well, come on… Faux News knew what they were paying for when they hired him, and KKKarl’s deliverin’ the goods.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:37 pmRove canceled a speaking engagement at Choate because students protested. I thought there was something at Berkley as well.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:39 pmA high schooler could refute Rove’s talking points on the economy, like the one last night refuted his b.s. on gay marriage.
What I really hope is KKKarl will come out strongly in favor of St. John McBush on Fixed News. That would be choice.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:40 pmAt least he didn’t try to lay the blame off on bloggers.

Comment by texaslady — February 12, 2008 @ 5:39 pm
Berkeley? Rove? Bawahahaha! If Rove shows his ugly phiz in Berkeley it would be to relive Lord of the Flies.
He didn’t cancel the Choate speech, it got shifted from a commencement speech to a “no-press-allowed” speech. Check out the TP thread where the high school girl nailed Piggy to the wall.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:43 pmMy bad… my bad… my bad…

Cheers,
February 12th, 2008 at 5:44 pmRising home foreclosures, inflation, stagnant real wages and the 0.6% growth, i.e., almost nothing in the advance 4th quarter RGDP estimates have more to do with the economy sucking than the media you pasty-faced, porcine, putrid POS! FU
February 12th, 2008 at 5:45 pmWow, zuch… that has to stand as one of the WORST weekends in the history of mankind…
February 12th, 2008 at 5:45 pmThe economy does stink, and my declining wages and disappearing benefits, along with increasing costs for everything are why I know that - just like the couple-hundred million of us who actually live in the “economy” that pathetic *ssholes like rove only talk about.
“Never mind what your own two eyes tell you - I’m a Righty, and I say the sky is a vivid green, and if you don’t believe me, you’ll die”
17 - he’s got something booked at University of Iowa. As a former student there, I can tell you he should look forward to a little more than a persistent high schooler’s annoying question.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:46 pmSomebody probably ought to poop on this joker.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:46 pmGet off the Straussian nutty professor toilet Rove. Now that we dont live in your ‘reality-based’ fraud its the medias fault?
February 12th, 2008 at 5:47 pmWhy are they letting this fu(ktard on TV. He is a fu(king PR person writing the headlines. Only in politics would the mouthpiece be considered something.
Any of you know who Microsoft’s PR person is? No, you know Bill Gates and Steve Balmer.
Stupid fu(king right wing retards.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:52 pmYou can lie your way into a War, but it’s much harder to lie your way into a thriving economy. I hope Rove keeps telling voters how good things really are…all the way till November.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:56 pmthanks gummitch - Perhaps there is hope for our youth having more backbone than our elected officials and media.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:57 pmWhat world are both of these schmucks living in? I can’t believe that there’s an audience for either one - unless their target audience is 20-35 year olds on acid trips.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:57 pmGM posted record losses…Its the medias fault!!!
February 12th, 2008 at 5:59 pmThe Media is to blame for Bush’s low rating…uh, what?
Or do you mean that his rating are low because the Media is exposing his incompetence and criminal activity?
His rating would be much lower and he would most likely be in jail now if the Media was actually doing it’s job well and exposing you criminals for what traitors to the country that you actually are.
Not such a pretty face to see on the tube, ugh, wear a mask or something porky, maybe some lipstick, oh wait that would just be lipstick on a pig.

February 12th, 2008 at 6:03 pmthough no longer officially in the actual white house,
February 12th, 2008 at 6:04 pmthis pig is still doing his job at the official bushco broadcasting co…
To many Americans, what goes on in Iraq is far away and abstract. The gullible can easily be fooled by the propaganda. But when it comes to the economy it won’t be so easy for these liars. The approach they are taking is similar to Bush 41, first denying the problem, then coming out with his phony “I feel your pain” message. And we know how far that got him. They are already well behind the curve in dealing with perceptions of the economy.
February 12th, 2008 at 6:06 pmPorky, The Liar Pig. What we really need is another lying sack of crap on Faux News - souieeeeeee!
February 12th, 2008 at 6:06 pm#39 There’s no way they can spin the horrendous shape our economy finds itself in today. No way but lies, lies, and more lies. Luckily, economy has never been their focus or forte and when it comes to economic principles, Porky Pig is totally clueless.

February 12th, 2008 at 6:08 pmI’m actually kind of psyched to see this specimen trying to peddle his week-old bread on Faux News.
They’re getting to the point where even the sleepwalking righties wake up to their bullsh!t and recognize the tactics for what they are.
February 12th, 2008 at 6:16 pmPorky again speaks out utter nonsense. Does anyone other than the top 1% richest people believe this crap?
Both sides of his mouth, with two forked-tongues, and a double chin
Trolls and Rove Butt Sniffers……..Where are youoooooo?
February 12th, 2008 at 6:22 pmThe greatest danger to the United States is not from Islamofascists, it is not from China, and it is not from other foreign enemies. The greatest enemy confronting the United States is complacency:
We see the rise of the anti-labor faction, the tax cutting faction and those factions decrying welfare, SSN and social safety net programs because of the economic success of the New Deal, GI Bill and Great Society programs. These programs did much to level income disparity.
A vibrant middle class grew out of the educational opportunities provided by the GI Bill to returning vets. Old age and retirement no longer had to be feared by the vast majority because of Social Security and Medicare. People were able to save for additional retirement savings, education and luxuries because they earned a living wage in large part due to the sacrifices of working people forming unions.
It was easy for the Republican elite to attack these programs with those who did not grow up during the depression or benefited from the GI Bill after WWII. It was easy to scapegoat the poor and union members as being the fault with society. It was easy to convince people that cutting taxes would be simple if we only got rid of these entitlement programs. We had grown complacent and out of that complacency we have endangered our economic security.
The same has happened with our commitment to individual liberty and justice. People saw the dangers of fascists during WWII. We saw the excesses of government security during the McCarthy days. We experienced the very real dangers of a unitary executive who could break no law under Nixon. The vast majority of the public have allowed the government to accrue power and to over ride the basic liberties that this country was founded upon because we have grown complacent.
February 12th, 2008 at 6:35 pmThought bubble: I wonder if Rove’s son is planning on enlisting?
February 12th, 2008 at 6:39 pmah, the party of responsibility.
its aways somebody else’s fault.
February 12th, 2008 at 6:56 pmman, history will label this guy the Stoopidest “smart” person in the world.
I mean - he is sounding more and more like Bushes Brain everyday.
“Hey liberal media, thanks for spending 670 Billion dollars on a war of choice. you ruined our economy….wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
February 12th, 2008 at 6:58 pmI love the irony of a man whose whole life was built on media spin blaming media spin for the economy.
And he says this on the top rated cable news show (O’Reilly), on the highest rated cable news station (Fox News), which drum-beats for the Republican Party on a daily basis.
The right-wingers want to have it both ways. They want to brag of their media ratings dominance while at the same time telling us the liberals dominate the message in the media.
The sad reality is, Rush Limbaugh has more daily listeners than any TV network has viewers of their evening news. Sean Hannity has more radio listeners each day than any TV network has evening news viewers.
If there is a bias and opinion coming from the media in general, it’s a conservative one. And if the economy was simply driven by the media, the conservatives spinning that the economy is doing great would easily counter-balance any supposed liberal bias.
February 12th, 2008 at 6:58 pmBlaming the media for herr dubyah’s failures is sooooo 2005.

Asleep at the wheel.
The fault lies in the public allowing the CIA to infiltrate media since 1947, fluoride dumped everywhere (did you know the first use of fluoride was giving it to Nazi Prisoners?), Aspartame (Thanks Rumsfeld), Hormones in meats and milk, pesticides in vegetables and fruits, pollution, religion, Terrible TV and music, SSRIs be given like candy, and other more clandestine operations. The “who cares” attitude is mostly bio-chemical and neurological in nature.
Now FEAR, is the message, and the sheep/robots obey like willing slaves because literally holes are bored in brains, hypothalamus glands malfunctioning, and a Orwellian/Bizarro World Reality has replaced the Real World.
February 12th, 2008 at 7:08 pmWhat does the president have to do with the economy?
oh’I get it.SOCIALISM
How many of you on this blog are working?
How many of you donate your free time to charitable causes?
How many people have you hired today?
Are your parents in favor of abortion?ooops
Let’s all Blame Bush and Rove for welfare,drugs,unemployment,terrorists,Katrina(global warming),now that’s a good money maker.Anyone chasing Gore and his greed? I didn’t think so.
YOUNG AND DUMB.
Be sure to save all these comments so if you ever procreate,you can show them what was in your immature ,inexperienced minds.
February 12th, 2008 at 7:27 pmPlease, as if anyone other than the mouth-breathers who watch faux would believe what this irrelevent turd says.
February 12th, 2008 at 7:28 pm“What does the president have to do with the economy?”
i dunno redicina, why don’t you explain why you and your ilk give the coward of crawford credit when the stock market soars.
February 12th, 2008 at 7:30 pmWhat a POS this treasonous, un-American fascist is!!! He keeps repeating the propaganda to create his own reality. It’s sad that there’s still some gullible morons out there that will believe his crap.
February 12th, 2008 at 7:33 pmoh’I get it.SOCIALISM
Oh, like Norway and Finland. Much higher individual money than the USA, SOCIALIZED MEDICINE, stay out of people’s business, and have oil AND alternative energy.
February 12th, 2008 at 7:34 pmRedinca.
The President initiated war in Iraq. Go back and look at the graphs, oil was less than 30$ a barrel, now it has topped 100$
Of course, this did not impact the economy (in your world).
The point however is not to solely blame Bush for the nation’s economic woes, the point is how absurd it is to blame the media for them.
Hmm. Reading your post it is clear that you did not grasp that essential point.
Maybe you can keep your comment saved and after you are fully formed / have completed your education, you can return and observe how off-base your comprehension skills were.
Here’s hoping.

February 12th, 2008 at 7:43 pmComment by JMOHR — February 12, 2008 @ 6:35 pm
Succinctly put JMOHR! As are many of your posts!
February 12th, 2008 at 7:44 pmFYI, the Fed’s Janet Yellen again said today that she believes the economy is not in a recession. But we are experiencing slow growth. Bernanke has said that there is a chance we will have a recession, but it’s not in the latest GDP numbers just yet.
The slow economy?
Blame the Fed for keeping rates too high for too long. They intentionally popped the housing bubble, as they did the stock bubble earlier in the decade.
Booms are followed by busts. No exceptions.
Look for the recent Fed rate cuts and government stimulus package to send the GDP back up.
The President doesn’t have much impact on the economy. The Fed’s monetary policy is the major driver of the economic cycle. The President and Congress control fiscal policy, which has less of an impact. Consider that tax rebate check from the government compared to a huge drop in rates by the Fed. Most folks will benefit more from the Fed rate cuts than the $600. Interest rates drop on credit cards, equity loans, mortgage payments, etc.
But, if you believe otherwise, consider this:
Everything was fine when the Republicans had control of the White House, the House, and the Senate from 2003-2006.
2001-2002 was ugly, but the Democrats had the Senate then. And something terrible happened to this country in January 2007: The Democrats took control of both the House and Senate.

As far as bailing out homeowners who can’t afford their payments,that should be their problem,not ours.

As gas prices go,we still have the lowest.Are you suggesting we drill in Anwar or off the Gulf before someone else gets there before us?Or is it too late?

February 12th, 2008 at 7:54 pmOh yeah. This a-hole will fit right in at Faux Noise. Piece of sh*t.
February 12th, 2008 at 7:56 pmWhy do you alot of people on this site use abusive language? Do you talk to your neighbors ,family,the same way,whether they are white,black,red? One day the wrong person could over hear you and stick you so bad you’ll be crying for mommy.I remember when I called people disrespectful names.Of course after being in the pen five times gives you a much more perspective on life and people.I was the same way when I was younger.Try it sometime.This blog seems to be exactly what I thought it would be.GARBAGE
February 12th, 2008 at 8:21 pmYep, the media is to blame for the price of gasoline, food, heating oil and housing. So, I guess that the media can reverse this by magically making gas go down to affordable levels and by magically bailing millions of homeowners out of financial hell.
Rove is so done. He should stick a fork in it.
February 12th, 2008 at 8:25 pmThe economy is in the shitter because your rich friends were enriched even more by your esteemed dickhead leader. Further, don’t ya think the war might have something to do with it! I guess so. And let’s ask the question what in the f**k does the wicked increase in gas prices have to do with the media. The gas situation which is just trashing average Americans is a result of your president’s buddies at Exxon and Saudi Arabia. By the way, why have the Saudis been left untouched regarding the 19 9/11 hijackers that came from the prince’s land? This gas thing is criminal, your destruction of emails, and your role in the theft of the elections and the conspiratorial support you gave to the president is criminal. Kiss my rosy red Rove.

Because after 7 years of watching the Republiscums destroy this country, we are beyond frustrated and when people come here and preach their bull$hit, we call them for what they are. And, no, I don’t talk to my neighbors that way. My neighbors have not contributed to the destruction of this once wonderful country.

February 12th, 2008 at 8:47 pmWow, so this is the best the “boy genius” can come up with. It’s all the media’s fault. I hope he’s deeply ashamed, because he used to be able to come up with more abstruse (even if more deeply dishonest) explanations for why President Bush is the best and Republicans are going to be the permanent majority. “The media did it” is right up there with “the dog ate my homework.” It’s what the most facile and lame-assed Republican comes up with when a reporter ambushes him after his workout when he knows his blood sugar is low.

February 12th, 2008 at 9:17 pmWow. A millionaire, who travels around the country in first class and in giant SUVs and stays in 5 star hotels and lives in a mansion, telling the American public, that the high gas prices that they fuel their cars with and the high cost of decent food ( and I don’t mean the High fructose corn syrup laden, partially hydrogenated junk food that is foisted upon us ), the high cost of decent clothing and non-existent affordable healthcare is all an illusion and made up by the non-existent “Liberal Media” (who just happens to be owned by 5 Multi-national corporations that might just have an agenda of their own).
Wow. Boggles the mind.
As for recent (or any) White House reports, I’ve long since quit believing anything the WH produces as cherry-picked and biased to say whatever the Bush Politburo wants it to say.
February 12th, 2008 at 9:29 pmOY. The fact Mr. Rove will be on Fox “News” is good news for me. I don’t watch Faux News and don’t have to look at his sorry … er …backside.

Kerry takes a couple of practice cuts w/ the bat and settles into the box.
And the pitch is on its way to the plate…
Whoa… Kerry just swung so hard at a ball in the dirt that he managed to hit himself in the back of the head with his own bat.
He’s staggering around the infield now, claiming he hit that one “out of here”, but the truth of the matter is he missed as badly as anyone I’ve ever seen! The entire stadium is laughing, but Kerry keeps insisting he hit “a tater”… an incredible sight… and now security is chasing him down…
February 12th, 2008 at 9:59 pmthey’re using the pepper spray now… to a standing ovation!
suckdog. you and your “leaders” have been dragging this country into thrid-world status since 1980, when the decrepit second-rate actor and his fellating wife started the descent. republicans cause recessions, wars and national immorality every chance they steal.
February 12th, 2008 at 10:19 pmHave you shown your sons the record Bush budget? The Record Bush deficits Red In CA? Did you show them that government has grown in the US by some 35% under Bush? Did you tell them that the value of our dollar has dropped over 30% since 2000 and that the price of fuel has nearly tripled? That the costs of food are up?
Did pray for all of this Red In Ca?
Polls show that a majority of the troops and their families do not support Bush’s aggression.
Did you tell them this Red In Ca?
Did you tell them that Ron Paul got more donations than the pro-war Republicans?
Bush’s $3.1 trillion federal budget provides no funding for his proposal in his State of the Union address to permit military members to transfer their unused education benefits to family members. Bush got applause for his nationally televised words, but the troops and their families got no money in his budget.
Did you tell them that Red In Ca?
February 12th, 2008 at 10:33 pmBush the Dullard Son may very well set a new low we haven’t seen since the end of the Civil War if he keeps the oily-rose colored glasses on. Then again, that may put FOX News out of business. The women can all go back to weather reporting/pole dancing. But MSNBC will have to start a new series: Under and Below the Bridge: How Billo, Roger, John and Sean all sell themselves for $10.

February 12th, 2008 at 11:03 pmAnother chimp from the BUSHCO crime family keeps talking and talking and spews nothing but blame on everybody else except the REICH.This guy is going to need someone to start pulling his puppet strings because, he like the head chimp(dubya) can`t open their piehole without something but ignorant delusional crap coming out of it. I can`t believe Fox News has this chimp on the air,But then again I am talking of fox news.
February 12th, 2008 at 11:52 pmYou know, I kinda miss the days when this guy worked in the shadows and we didn’t have to see him every friggin day.
February 13th, 2008 at 12:06 amJust checking- who is the president now, during the time when the subprime mortgage bubble burst? Is it confirmed that it is George W. Bush? Good. I wouldn’t want it to escape people’s attention that this mess well and truly occurred ON HIS WATCH! Can’t blame this on Clinton this time. If it’s the media’s fault, then you’ve failed to control the message getting out to the media. After all, their job is just to repeat, verbatim, what you hand them. Stenographers, you know. BTW, does anybody actually still use shorthand- the Gregg method??

I never have watched ‘fox news’, but my Newsweek subscription has been cancelled.

Facts mean nothing, anymore…

February 13th, 2008 at 2:57 amHoover blinded himself to the worlds economic decline after WWI, then it hit the U.S. in 1929. I think Hoover genuinely wanted to help right things by smaller government in the election of 1933, but F.D.R. knew that we must also fix our infrastructure for peace time. Now, the only thing we really have to fear now, is the war of economic fears that the Neo-cons are playing through the media. I don’t think, bottom line, that even THEY are angling for a market collapse!
February 13th, 2008 at 3:10 amIt’s fun to watch the neoclowns spin this issue. Fact of the matter is, it’s time to pay for the coward of crawfords credit card economy and like the slime they are, they don’t want to pay their bills, they want to pass the buck to someone else.
February 13th, 2008 at 8:34 amI am overseas now and saw nothing in any MSM (US or UK) about a protest in Berkeley. I don’t read Dutch so I can’t tell if they have anything but I am sure the folks I am working with here would have said something in all our discussions.
As for KKK…can we just KKKill him already? I am tired of seeing his lying a$$ face on television. Tony Snow got his just rewards for his level of lying. When is god going to intervene against this a$$hole?
Oh, right…nevermind.
February 13th, 2008 at 9:20 amFunny, for all the talk about the need for personal responsibility and accountability, everything that goes wrong is ALWAYS someone else’s fault. NEVER is the Chimp-in-chief or his policies are to blame.
February 13th, 2008 at 9:20 amThe liberal media is a myth perpetuated by people who don’t want to accept responsibility for their own actions. They love it when the media pays some attention to them, but let a little trouble arise, and then blame it on the “liberal” media.
Liberal and Conservative are two words that should be stricken from the English language, nobody knows the difference anymore. I am sick of it.
February 13th, 2008 at 9:23 amAnd his economics degree is from where??? Oh that’s right…texas…huummm…. STFU!!!
February 13th, 2008 at 9:38 amI was really up in arms when I first read what he said. But I’ve had to re-think my position totally after seeing that he said it on the Bill O’Rile-up show. And I know that Billy never allows any spin in his zone.

Hmmm. I don’t think Rove ever completed his college “edumacation” — I think I remember that he dropped out of college… just goes to show what just “a little” knowledge can do to destroy a country.
February 13th, 2008 at 2:07 pmAs long as he`s on Faux news i`ll never have to lookat his fat little lying boot licking,blame everyone else BUSHCO crime family member face .This guy was the mastermind behind the bush campaign what a chimp(chump).For such a person as this to sink this low to blame the media it just shows us that REICH WINGERS don`t want the left to know what`s really going on because we will more informed and a more informed public is going to VOTE for a DEMOCRAT.A more informed public is more LIBERAL .Did I just say that?
February 14th, 2008 at 9:16 amWhat planet is Rove from ?.
February 17th, 2008 at 3:19 amI thought this so called Liberal media was for the neo-cons,I can`t beleive what these guys are saying.They will not accept responsibility for what they have done,typical of someone who is running scared.These guys are toast come Nov and they`ll say and do whatever is crucial to make everything look ROSIE.I can`t wait till NOV.
