Dem Chairman Dean says Rove 'demotion is not enough'

RAW STORY
Published: Wednesday April 19, 2006

Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement on Karl Rove's "demotion" to RAW STORY Wednesday.

#
"After having his hand in nearly every bad Bush policy decision and nearly every scandal that has consumed the Bush White House, it is not surprising that Karl Rove was demoted this morning. But, a demotion is not enough. From the collapse of the President's scheme to privatize social security to Rove's involvement in the outing of a covert CIA agent's identity while he still holds a security clearance, the President has abundant reason to fire Karl Rove.

"The Bush White House is merely engaging in window dressing. President Bush doesn't seem to understand that you can't just change the window dressing, you have to make changes in the Bush Administration's policies which have undermined America's security - from the economy to health care, our families and the war in Iraq."

1. I wouldn't call it a demotion - just changing hats

4. I consider it a promotion

Rove will have the most important job the GOP can give him - trashing, smearing and dragging through the gutter all the Democratic hopefuls of 2006.

He's probably getting a raise.

3. SPOT ON

The changes have to be policy changes, not changing the packaging.

There should be NO TALK of changes at the whitehouse just because they play a game of MUSICAL CHAIRS at the whitehouse.

6. Rapid response from the Democrats

No guff, no bull, just a rapid response calling this window dressing for what it is. Nice job, doctor. Again.
