Seriously, Rove said "We count the votes" in HBO documentary
Edited on Mon Nov-29-04 03:29 AM by Melodybe
In Diary of a Political Tourist, did anyone here watch it? I can't remember the exact quote but he said it, when Pelosi asked about the election. He may have said "all that's left is counting the votes" either way bells went off.

It freaked me out when I saw it cause it reminded me of the Stalin quote.

I can't believe we haven't been talking about it, I can't believe I forgot to post about it.

Remember when they were at that disgusting BBQ at the White House, Pelosi asked him what he thought about the election and Rove said that they were very confident about Bush's re-election and then he said, "We count the votes."

Does anyone else remember this?

An exact quote would be helpful, if anyone has the transcrpit I would appreciate it.

1. Is he on film saying it?
If so, that could be a very galvanizing video clip. Karl is not above the law, he can count them all he wants....as long as they reflect the voters aggregate intent. I think Karl better hope that he hasn't biten off more than he can swallow cuz this ain't Austin anymore. People are getting more pissed off by the minute, I think.

I'd dearly love to get that into general circulation.

3. It wasn't Rove, it was another Repub King, a rove buddy,

http://www.commondreams.org/views04/1115-24.htm

snip
Alex Pelosi's new film "Diary of a Political Tourist" catches a tipsy Congressman Peter King making a comment at a White House function before the election had been finished that, "It's already over. The Election's over. We Won."

When Pelosi asks, "How do you know that?" King replies, "It's all over but the counting. And we'll take care of the counting."
