Were *any* Republican Senators or Reps defending Rove this a.m.?

[Lex]

.
Or defending the Bush Admin?

Any at all?

My guess is that the Republican Congress-critters are worried. Very worried.

[Chipper Chat]

1. Only Senator Mehlman! n/t

[patdem]

2. I thought it was 'Ambassador Mehlman'? n/t

[asjr]

3. And he owes his soul to the company store (WH).

[Zeke]

15. Nicely Done...

The compnay store!
LOL!
Nicely done.
Good work.

[Lex]

4. He's not a Senator, he's the Repub National Committee (RNC) Chairman!

He *has* to go out and try to defend them.

[realFedUp]

10. watching him speak is like watching the pea move under shells

He is a good liar.

[Merlot]

17. I did watch part of MTP and wasn't impressed with his lying abilities

I felt that he came off defensive. His talking points were stale. It felt like he was reading a prepaired script instead of answering questions. And he just has a dishonest face. He looked stressed. Maybe he always had stress circles under his eyes, who knows?

11. RNC Head-Dick Mehlman's so ubiqitous lately..

I just figured everyone here would get my humor.
(The only members of Congress that would defend Shrubbie would be House weasels like Mark Souder and John Hostetter).

5. Roy Blount on FTN

[jefferson_dem]

6. Icky cretin congressman Roy (must have smoked a) Blunt was spnning

on Face the Nation, opposite Joe Wilson. Only had those silly-nilly red herring TPs to offer.

:puke:


Oh, then there was the typical FauxNews cabal of Repug lap dogs.

[skylarmae]

7. Senator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina

this am on face the nation

[PDittie]

8. Lindsey Graham on Face the Nation

There's a prize for the Republican who shills the hardest, longest and most shrill in support of Rove; it's all-expenses-paid-by-the-taxpayers month in the Caribbean with Jeff Gannon.

That's why Mehlman is working so hard. :evilgrin:

[Lex]

12. LOL!

No doubt Lindsey Graham is interested in that Caribbean trip too!

[Cassandra]

9. The current spin...

is that Rove has been proven exonerated. I'm not sure by what but if it isn't Fitzgerald saying it, it doesn't matter.

[Lecky]

13. Who said that?

Mehlman? lol

[Cassandra]

16. Yes, Mehlman

several times. He'd obviously been practicing.

[Lecky]

18. Bwahahaha

I didn't really think it would be him...LOL.

[iconoclastic cat]

14. I know! That is SO f-ing hilarious.

[Skidmore]

19. Oral Hatch (R-Reprobate-Utah) on Late Edition

swearing Rove is a decent, honorable man who is sorely misunderstood. He's known him all these years--and besides, Rove was born in Utah so that qualifies him for sainthood from the start.

[Justice]

20. said two things - shows me they know they are in trouble

1. even if plame was classified as a covert agent, she in Hatch's view, should not have been.

2. what rove did with cooper okay b.c only on background.

[Lecky]

21. WOW

I'm starting to think that if Rove is indicted that these republicans are gonna go ape shit. I can't believe how far they are going to defend this guy.

[Sugarcoated]

22. Even HE had to have a hard time keeping a straight face saying that shit
