Death Watch at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Enjoy.........

(snip) Aides say gallows humor has descended on the White House, where the West Wing is now referred to as “death row” and Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, along with Vice Presidential Chief of Staff Scooter Libby, are known as “dead men walking,” a reference to the last walk death row inmates take to the execution chamber.

2. LOL!
Gotta at least give some of the WH folks credit for their gallows humor. What else are you going to do, eh?

What I wouldn't give, though, to walk up to Rove and say "DEAD MAN WALKING!" Really loud and with a giant grin on my face....sigh...:smoke:

3. Powells aide Wilkerson on the bushCo ME PR tour...
Edited on Fri Oct-21-05 10:38 AM by tk2kewl
Wilkerson dismisses the Administration’s attempts to improve America’s image abroad.

“You can’t sell shit,” he said.


:D Why does Wilkerson hate America?

5. The poor things - Rove looks terrible and Andy Card appears
absolutely burned out. I guess propping up evil takes a toll after a while. I'm off to cry for them now.
