If Rove goes, can Bush really pretend "he didn't know"?

[Must_B_Free]

It seems to me that Bush has to go, too. It is implausible that he didn't know. Rove is too close.

If Bush were to save himself, he would have to have distanced himself from Rove a long time ago.

ALso, it further demonstrates Bush's incompetence at making decisions, if he does try to pull a Reagan. Once Rove goes, Bush us the guy responsible for bringing Rove in.

Rove's departure is the beginning of the end for Bush as well.

1. If bush didn't know, he should have known.

It's his damn JOB to know.

Miserable, miserable failure, through and through.

[enigmatic]

11. He knew

No freakin' way he didn't know...

[Guaranteed]

15. If Bush didn't know, then Rove should most DEFINITELY be fired.

Rove should have come clean two years ago when he compromised our national security.

[oioioi]

2. We need a Jeffie Jeff connection

Only gay sex will awaken the masses...

Plame is too complicated - it needs to be brought down to the blowjob common denominator.

[Richard Steele]

3. He's spent years preparing his "clueless moron" defense, so yes.

I think he'll just claim he didn't know.

It's not as if we have proof that he knows much about ANYTHING
that goes on....anywhere...ever....

It's totally believable to many people, and he might get away with it.

4. his dad fired rove for leaks

george secretly hates his dad and pulls rove in as substitute. he clearly has no thoughts of his own.

[amber dog democrat]

6. I don't think much of his dad either.

His dad is/was on the wrong side of any issue you name. Its a shame. Prescott had some pinciples but it ended there. The whole clan are a bunch of con artitsts and crooks - that his dad had more class and finesse does not mean he was any less clueless and damaging to the interests of the common American.


They are both jerks.

[knowbody0]

7. i totally agree

when baby george appeared as a candidate i thought it was his dad, and knew we would soon be at war the day he stole the 2000 election. scum of the earth, these two.

[amber dog democrat]

10. That is what preternders to the throne do.

they make lots of bad policy decisions and start wars.

We will never live this era down.

[amber dog democrat]

5. Sure he can !

The Chimp basically understands nothing. All he has is his steadfast rigidity and posturing to go by. And now he has to remember what he said if he wants to seem anything other than delusional .

If he was not ignornat in the first place, he would not be the giggly serial killer he is today.

[knowbody0]

8. giggly serial killers suck

[amber dog democrat]

9. especially stupid ones.

I still think the Chimp is god's chastisement on this poor world.

[deadparrot]

12. He's done it before; I'm sure he's capable

of pulling a repeat performance.

[delete_bush]

13. a trick question!

to pretend, one has to have a higher level of consciousness than exhibited by the Chimp. He is not sufficiently advanced to have the human ability to pretend.

[orleans]

14. of course he can pretend he didn't know!

he's been pretending to be "presidential" for years now, pretending he doesn't drink, pretending to be a christian.

he's a good little pretender.

(it's the twisted mouth and shady eyes that give him away)

[whitebear]

16. worked for Reagan

Not only did Reagan give Iran nukes,but he CHARGED them for it,and way too much.In his last days in office he couldn't remember he'd done it and had to be reminded about it.:rant: :nuke:
