Rove Cancels Fund-raising Appearances
Bush Aide Waits To Hear Grand Jury Decision

(AP) WASHINGTON Juggling appearances before a grand jury and conservative admirers didn’t seem to make sense, so presidential adviser Karl Rove has canceled three such outings as he waits to hear whether he or anyone else will be indicted in the leak of a CIA officer’s identity.

Rove canceled plans to attend two Republican fund-raisers, the national party confirmed Tuesday. And he did not give his scheduled speech to the conservative Hudson Institute think tank on Oct. 11.

Republican National Committee spokesman Brian Jones said scheduling conflicts kept Rove from an RNC fund-raiser Monday night in Greenwich, Conn., and a Virginia Republican Party fund-raiser Saturday.

Jones would not specify what the conflicts were or whether they had anything to do with the federal grand jury that Rove has testified before four times. “He was unable to attend,” Jones said.

WASHINGTON - Juggling appearances before a grand jury and conservative admirers didn't seem to make sense, so presidential adviser Karl Rove has canceled three such outings as he waits to hear whether he or anyone else will be indicted in the leak of a CIA officer's identity.

Rove canceled plans to attend two Republican fund raisers, the national party confirmed Tuesday. And he did not give his scheduled speech to the conservative Hudson Institute think tank on Oct. 11.

Republican Nat'l Committee spokesman Brian Jones said scheduling conflicts kept Rove from an RNC fund-raiser Monday night in Greenwich, Conn., and a Virginia Republican Party fund-raiser Saturday.

Looks like the poor fellow is too busy to raise money. Now THAT is busy!

[EST]

12. Yeah, right!

[jean]

13. will the RNC crank out their fund raising letters once indictments

come down? I bet they'll use the occasion to squeeze every last dime out of their base. "We're under attack by activist lawyers, judges and juries!"

[Pharlo]

20. That's okay, they can use what's left over from their private

'Rebuild Iraq' fund raising effort...

[Demobrat]

14. Scheduling conflicts are understandable.

He was committed to spending the weekend in bed with the covers over his head, and couldn't get out of it.

[alcibiades_mystery]

15. He's not cancelling because of conflicts

He was asked to cancel in order to distance his soon-to-be-indicted ass from the candidate or cause being promoted.

How fucking stupid do they think the public is?

[I Have A Dream]

19. Good point! n/t

[schrodingers_cat]

16. Too busy getting fitted for shackles and an orange jumpsuit......(n/t)

:applause: :rofl: :applause: :rofl::applause: :rofl:

[MarsThe Cat]

18. more likely he's working on the exact wording of his pardon...

while working with condi on her vice-presidential acceptance speech, while working with her replacement to learn the 'president's' nap & medication schedules...

[AspenRose]

17. frog march. Frog March. FROG MARCH!!!

Oh please, please....PLEASE.

Our country can't afford to take any more of this man.

[jwirr]

21. Or maybe he is finding too much opposition to his outreach.

[lovuian]

22. Rove doesn't want to be asked are you a traitor Karl???

What did you do Karl beat up on a CIA AGENT!!! a woman to boot!!!

[Dem2theMax]

23. Poor KKKarl. It must be killing him.
