A Few Questions For Turdblossom
Edited on Sun Sep-18-05 07:10 AM by Twist_U_Up
The squatter in the White House`s Top political advisor Had a few words on Katrina at an annual off the record event.

<snip>

On Katrina: The only mistake we made with Katrina was not overriding the local government...

On The Anti-War Movement: Cindy Sheehan is a clown. There is no real anti-war movement. No serious politician, with anything to do with anything, would show his face at an anti-war rally...

On Bush's Low Poll Numbers: We have not been good at explaining the success in Iraq. Polls go up and down and don't mean anything...

On Iraq: There has been a big difference in the region. Iraq will transform the Middle East...

On Judy Miller And Plamegate: Judy Miller is in jail for reasons I don't really understand...

On Joe Wilson: Joe Wilson and I attend the same church but Joe goes to the wacky mass...

In attendance at the conference, among others were: Harvey Weinstein, Brad Grey, Michael Eisner, Les Moonves, Tom Freston, Tom Friedman, Bob Novak, Barry Diller, Martha Stewart, Margaret Carlson, Alan Greenspan, Andrea Mitchell, Norman Pearlstein and Walter Isaacson.

After reading through the comments section one poster hit the nail on the head:

"Posted by: Gerald Strauss on September 17, 2005 at 11:32pm

Well, here are a few things for White House reporters to ask Scotty:

Does the President agree with the comment attributed to his senior advisor that the only mistake his Administration made was not taking over from the local government? If so, why did they make that mistake? If not, why does the President believe that his senior advisor is the appropriate person to oversee the reconstruction of the region, given the President's comment that this massive effort must be performed in conjunction with state and local governments?

Does Karl Rove speak for the Admininstration, and if not, why is he still in the Admininstration?

Does the President believe that Karl Rove is the best official his Administration can put forward to serve this role? Does the President believe Mr. Rove has the confidence of the American people?

Does the President take responsibility for the actions and quotes of his senior advisor?

Does the President believe that his senior advisor can say whatever he wants to a group of business executives, even if it contradicts the public statements of the President, as long as it's not for public attribution?

And one more: Who the hell is in charge here? "

These questions NEED to be asked REPEATEDLY AND LOUDLY until we get the correct answer.


edit: duplicate title headline

1. Rover is just as deluded as his boss.
I used to believe Karl was just one hell of a cynical, manipulative bastard. But, if this is what he really thinks, it's becoming clear that he's just as out of it as Shrub, and rather than being Svengali, he's truly as crazy as this guy:

2. Rove actually looks like he is at wit's end
Not one of those quotes has any punch to it. Every one of them is defensive in nature. Rove's MO is attack, don't defend. But here he sounds like he is trying to explain away the elephant(s) in the living room.

There were an awful lot of television people in the crowd. I wonder what the event was really about.
