Bush Rocked By Resignations

Bush rocked by resignations
4.04PM, Wed Apr 19 2006

White House press secretary Scott McClellan and senior advisor Karl Rove have announced their resignation from the Bush administration.

"I have given it my all, sir," Mr McClellan told George W Bush outside the White House before a group of reporters.

He said he would stay on over the next two or three weeks to allow time for a transition to his successor, who has not yet been named.

Mr McClellan, who has been in the job more than 2 and a half years, has been one of the most visible faces of the Bush administration and replacing him will give the president the chance to put a fresh face on his White House administration.

What the----????? "Senior advisor Karl Rove..."??? What in the HELL does that first sentence mean?? I clicked all over this website trying to see if it was a parody site. I found no sign that it was.

Okay, I must've caught Bush Flu and my brain is going fast. Would someone please tell me why that first sentence is in there?

2. senior adviser Karl Rove got kicked back to all politics all the time

He sucked at domestic policy and they took it away from him.

5. They did? Well, thanks a whole lot, George.

It's like firing the babysitter after you get back from the baby's funeral...

8. I think that they have figured he will be invaluable to them in an

election year for heading up the smear campaigns against the Democratic candidates. That is something that KKKarl excels at. I think they made it sound like a demotion, but IMO it just frees him up to do more of the dirty work.

10. Yeah, they need him out of sight and focused entirely on his

underhanded cheating, political dirty work for other Rebubs.

3. Rove didn't resign...they just removed policy responsibility

from his roles....he is not going to be in the public view...

6. Not going to be in public view? Well, that's GOT to improve the view.

They should've put a bag over that pig's head a LONG time ago.

9. Bwah..haw...haw...I agree with you...he's kinda pasty...ick..

:rofl:

4. Nothing about bush being rocked though.

maybe that's what he meant when he said he and scotty would be rocking together in texas?

[No Exit]

7. Perhaps catatonically rocking back and forth in a corner...

On sitting down this evening to read my usual websites, I note that the sites which would always call for the impeachment of Bush have now dropped that plea, and are calling for the COMMITMENT of Bush.

11. It's my understanding that Rove will be concentrating on election '06

I'm not surprised...It's what he does best.
I wonder who's gonna pay his salary while he's working for the republican party.
