Rove Pushed Cheney To Talk

(CBS News) WASHINGTON President Bush's top political aide, Karl Rove, pushed Vice President Dick Cheney to speak publicly about shooting a fellow hunter, sources tell CBS News.

Rove worried the vice president's silence on the issue was becoming a political problem, CBS News chief White House correspondent Jim Axelrod reports.

...

But Borger reports it the incident has not hurt the president's relationship with Cheney, and a source told her the two are still close.

1. Rove is the director of the group

I'm sure he has approval from the stockholders.

2. Here's the flow chart of command -

#1 President: Dick Cheney.

#2 Vice-President: Karl Rove

#3 Store-front mannequin and all-round Court Jester: George Bush.

4. Exactly. That's how it's always been.

"Store-front mannequin" good one.
:rofl:

14. It's not nice to laugh...

...at the Cheney administration. Your comments have been noted; and your IP address is now on permanent file. Have a good day (for as long as you're allowed to have good days).

18. ROTFLMBAO.....Thanks for the morning laugh!

:rofl: :donut: :rofl:

3. But, not until

he sobered up.

5. Hmmmm, I'm not sure I'm buyin that.

You see, when I read or listen to "news" stories, I have this bad habit of asking myself, "does that make sense"?

I listened to a panel discussion tonight on Hardball, and Tweety kept asking if anyone knew if Cheney spoke to the Pres in 4 days? It seems like he didn't! The general concesus is that Cheney doesn't care what anyone says or thinks about him, and he's just going to do what he wants. John Dean was also on KO tonight and he said he noticed a slight slip in something Cheney said today. He was talking about the WH and Karl Rove, and he said "Karl doesn't talk...then corrected himself and said Karl called Katherine". Dean believes that meant Karl doesn't talk to the VP side of the WH and the VP side of the WH doesn't speak to Karl.

The fact that Cheney didn't call Shrub to forewarn him about what news was about to break tells me this story makes more sense than the CBS report story above.

8. I think what he said was, "No, Karl talks to... I don't recall talking to

Karl."

It was odd, I was left with the impression that Rove was beneath him and used to deal with bush only. I'm not sure why, it was just a feeling.

6. Yeah right, sure he did. He pushed him to talk.....

and tell an everchanging web of lies that are apparent to the most innocent kindergartner. All of a sudden rove has a sense of propriety? Sure he does and bush is an actual college graduate.:banghead:

7. If I were Cheney, who would be my first call? Karl "Piggly Wiggly" Rove.

This story smacks of Rove's attempt to maintain his "evil genius" image. He's neither. He lost control of this one. The media picked it up and he failed. Again. Frankly the only thing this man knows to do is manipulate the nation's religious.

Send him back to college. Maybe he'll finish this time.

9. Someone out there wants Rove to look good...and I bet it's not Cheney. nt

10. Speak!

Yes slave master!

11. Pinky and The Brain n/t

12. Just listened to local CBS news

Rove ordered Cheney to "talk". Rove is still calling the shots.

[lovuian]

13. Rove help get him started...

[stlsaxman]

15. Oh and I can just hear Gloria Whorger suc- look there she is now-

"CBS News correspondent Gloria Borger reports another source within the White House said "you can imagine how upset the vice president is," adding that the Whittington family is worried about Cheney."


So Harry's family is worried about Cheney?!?!?!? Just like the Regens worried about Hinkley, right?

Gloria- thy name is Whore(ger)

[Red Fox]

16. If Rove gets "hurt" after this

We know who, why and how.

Cheney Cheney he's our man...if he can't do it....

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

17. Rove's ONLY concern..."a political problem"

There's not a single person in the White House, from the top on down, who gives a rat's ass if Whittington lives or dies.

"Compassionate Conservatism" in action, folks.

:grr:
