Netanyahu may hire Rove to help him challenge Olmert.
JTA reports that, according to Israel’s Channel 10, Israeli opposition leader and former Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu “may hire former White House adviser Karl Rove.” Sources “close to Netanyahu” said that “Rove’s name has come up on a roster of strategic consultants that the Israeli opposition leader is thinking of hiring as he prepares for a possible leadership challenge against the embattled Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.” Olmert recently met with President Bush and reportedly urged him to attack Iran.

With perhaps a side trip to Den Hague prior to this lucrative plum?
June 5th, 2008 at 5:15 pmYeah, when you're gunning for a top elected post, you want to hire a guy who guided a man from a 91% approval rating to a steady 35% in a few short years.
You want a dude who was the closest advisor to someone roundly considered the worst president in history.
That's the guy you want on your side.
June 5th, 2008 at 5:18 pmJayzus! Why doesn't anything KKKarl do surprise me any more?
But I have to think that the collective intelligence of the Israeli people would be greater than that of the voters in the US and therefore nullify anything the rover 'throws up' to them.
June 5th, 2008 at 5:19 pmSure! Only if it's a one-way ticket. Consider it a permanent loan. They don't eat pig, do they?
June 5th, 2008 at 5:22 pmIt's like when a second-tier baseball team hires a manager who just got fired from another second-tier team. The only thing that matters is that you've been there before, not whether you had any success there.
June 5th, 2008 at 5:26 pmIt doesn't matter to you, so long as someone gets the sh!t bombed out of 'em, hey?
June 5th, 2008 at 5:27 pmThe infection is going global.
If you need proof that Netanyahu is a scumbag, here it is.

June 5th, 2008 at 5:27 pmWill Gannon fit in Rove's suitcase, or will he have to pay full fare?

Netanyahu will take care of Iran so we won’t have to. It’s the one time you should be rooting for Rove!
It's so funny how those with no fight in them always want to go to war.
I doubt if "YOU" or the rest of the "WE's" will ever take care of anything that requires you to have to join the military and fight.
RIP

Israel does not extradite.
Has Karl suddenly become Jewish? Will he be exercising the "right of return?"
June 5th, 2008 at 5:37 pmSo KKKarl Rove is going to "do the math" for Netanyahu. Well, I'm sure things will work out fine there as well as they have here....good luck with that.
Maybe Rove is thinking about fleeing the country, maybe????
June 5th, 2008 at 5:47 pmThe trolls here are pussies & cowards. Their self worth is at an all time low. All they have left is the fading greatness of what 'could have been'. All of their heroes - all of them - have been proven wrong; by any measure. So keep talking big stuff trolls; your time on this planet is about to come to an end. How does it feel to have everyone making fun of you? Maybe you could join the Army? Oh, I forgot; you're all pussies and cowards.
June 5th, 2008 at 5:48 pmWith charges dropped against five of the eight Marines and only two more trials to go — apologies may soon be in order!
Trouble for the Dems!! Yall had alot riding on these’s cases.
Other than containing some rather interesting grammatical errors.........WTF does this have to do with the topic of this thread?
June 5th, 2008 at 5:49 pmOther than containing some rather interesting grammatical errors………WTF does this have to do with the topic of this thread?
It has nothing to do with this thread, but the troll likes to brag that the Marines got away with murder. That's what makes our troll happy; innocent people getting raped and killed by our military. It makes the troll think he has ben in on the action. Pussies and cowards....
June 5th, 2008 at 5:51 pmPriceless. Olmert is facing corruption charges and bribery. HooHoo has been indicted too, they are working with Bush, Cheney, etc..
Is Israel as corrupt as we are here?
June 5th, 2008 at 5:52 pmIs it as easy to steal an election in Israel as it apparently is in the United States? If so, he's got it made.
June 5th, 2008 at 5:59 pmI love the Hypocrisy. Thanks for the laugh.
I'm not here to make you laugh pussy. I'm here to make sure trolls like you get what you deserve: nothing, except derision and contempt. Bug sh!t has a higher level of patriotism than you will ever have.
June 5th, 2008 at 6:00 pmOh Great, Now Israel is going to attack Iraq.
June 5th, 2008 at 6:01 pmI think it's safe to say that Karl is hooked on regime change.
June 5th, 2008 at 6:13 pmRove's shotgun approach to negative campaigning could help a man nicknamed "bee bee" get elected. How deep does the rabbit hole go?
June 5th, 2008 at 6:17 pmThey'd make a good couple.
June 5th, 2008 at 7:07 pmI believe Rove would have to register as a foreign agent of influence. I wonder if FOXNEWS will mention that....
June 5th, 2008 at 7:15 pmIs Israel as corrupt as we are here?
Hard to tell there are so many of them in our government.
June 5th, 2008 at 7:17 pmCan someone tell me why the Israelis keep electing anti Palestinian right-wingers, ‘cause I don’t get it?
June 5th, 2008 at 7:45 pmMaybe by the time he comes back Obama will be in office and revoke his passport. One can dream.
June 5th, 2008 at 10:34 pmWhat a terrible move this would be!
Rove has proven to be a complete failure. It was a big stakes game, so it took longer. But now we all know that Rove is a complete failure as the end game indicates.
It was a good ride for this toad, but its all over now. My greatest hope is that Obama spins off a group dedicated to bringing people like Rove, Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Feith, Rumsfeld, Rice, Delay, Hassert, Ken Blackman, Griffiths, Paulouse, Goodling, et. al. to prison.
June 5th, 2008 at 10:50 pmJust what Israel needs . . . another right wing wacko chickenhawk willing to spend OPM and other people's kids . . .
Maybe they'll hear of WMDs in Gaza and just kill everyone and end all that expensive check points, ransacking and beatings require to keep them Palies in da getto . . . .
June 6th, 2008 at 1:10 amI think that's a great idea providing Rove has to move to Israel....permanently. I think they deserve each other. It will also let Rove pause and reflect on the damage his treasonous acts have caused.
June 6th, 2008 at 9:57 amIf he is to stupid to make up some lies on his own buy off some officials and mishandle the vote count in his favor than he needs Rove as those are his only strengths. Roll over rover puppy, lick, lick good boy. To bad i have 80 IQ points on the roverreen.
