Bush said he would fire any member of his staff who "committed a crime."

[Imagevision]

and that crime would have had to occur on a rainy tuesday between the hours of 5:00pm - 9:00pm - this is how pathetic this president has become.

2. lowered the bar

The funny part is thinking that bush "lowered the moral bar". Lowered? Lowered from where?

5. Good point.

I mean, you think it's bottom, and then.... it's not quiiiiiiite bottom. Ugh.

3. and if Rove is indicted, he'll say he has not been convicted yet

and then if he is convicted, he'll say that there are still appeals pending.

BUSH HAS NEVER NOT HAD ROVE AT HIS SIDE. HE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HIM.

7. And if he's convicted Bush will pardon him and say "what conviction."

4. Seems like he's got a whole houseful of people to fire then - see

8. Dubya didn't JUST get pathetic

Dubya has been pathetic longer than most of you have known who he was! In any job that GWB has had in his money filled life, he has screwed the pooch with it. This is just the LATEST screw-up for him. I just can't believe that he slithered his way back into a second term....well, actually I can.

If you look back to 1972, with Karl Rove's buddy Don Segretti running dirty tricks for Nixon, ole skee-nose was able to literally blow the competition (McGovern) away. Of course, McGovern was the one that they WANTED to run against. They successfully did away with the quality candidates for the DNC. And Karl Rove, from under the rock in which he lives, was able to do much the same for Bush, with the exception that he BARELY squeeked by, and with dirty ballot box tactics as well.

Some neo-con called into Air America, today I believe, and told Springer that more people voted for Bush in 2004 that any candidate in HISTORY. Springer pointed out that there are actually more people living these days, but the REAL truth is.....more people voted AGAINST BUSH than ANY CANDIDATE IN HISTORY. That to me is much more telling.

And now the polls are showing that 75% of Americans DO NOT believe that Bush is cooperating with the ROVEGATE investigation.

Think about it....the remaining 25% are the hardcore neo-cons. That means that the rest of the 51% that voted for Bush, the independent minded voters who once bought into his bullshit, are the ones who NOW realize what he, AND THE REPUBLICAN'S, have been doing to them ALL THIS TIME!!

Maybe we can replace this Congress with one that will actually INVESTIGATE, and maybe IMPEACH!!

Oh and by the way, if he is firing anyone who committed a CRIME, then he has to look at Rumsfeld, Cheney, Rice and of course, HIMSELF for nearly 1800 counts of MURDER, by sending our kids into harms way under completely false pretenses.
