Grove plans to celebrate indictment
As special counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald deliberates bringing criminal charges against Karl Rove, senior White House advisor, and I. Lewis Libby Jr., chief of staff for Vice President Dick Cheney, in the grand jury proceedings surrounding the Valerie Plame CIA leak, residents of Stanford’s Grove houses say they are devising their own scheme to berate the officials’ allegedly deceitful testimonies — an “indictment party.”
Should Rove be handed an indictment, the house staff says they will host a “rager” in Grove Lasuen that very night, complete with screwdriver cocktails and patriotic tunes for added irony. They will also screen a film about Rove and a documentary called “Bush’s Brain,” according to senior Jake Wachman, resident computer coordinator (RCC) in Grove Mayfield....
“Ladies and gentlemen, traitors and spies,” Wachman wrote in an e-mail notification to Stanford students about the houses’ plans. “We are definitely throwing the party on the night of whatever day Rove is indicted. If the indictment is handed out Monday, we’ll throw it Monday. If it is handed out Tuesday, we’ll do it then. If there are no indictments, or if only Libby is indicted, then we’ll call off the party and most likely cry.”...
“Last year, Grove’s theme was ‘Mexigrove,’” Wachman said. “Some might call that lame.
‘Karl Grove’ theme was a wildly inappropriate, once in a lifetime opportunity, so of course we went with it. This White House has given us the most amazing potential for schadenfreude in modern times. We were trying to capitalize upon it fully. Kicking people while they’re down is a great American tradition — one that has unfortunately been underutilized against this administration until very recently.”
