President Bush's damage-control handlers are plotting a sophisticated war room offensive to fight back against possible indictments in the CIA leak probe.

Behind the scenes, however, Team Bush was finalizing its campaign to discredit and undermine special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's conclusions, sources told the Daily News.

An emerging theme in the Bush war room is arguing that his top political aide, Karl Rove, simply got tripped up on his recollections of whom he talked to and what he told them when questioned about the outing of CIA spy Valerie Plame. He shouldn't be indicted simply because of contradictory grand jury testimony, a source said.

A senior Senate Democratic aide said, "When it's about perjury and obstruction and it deals with sex, Republicans think it's worthy of impeachment. When it's about perjury and obstruction dealing with national security, they don't take it seriously."

1. Let's hope Rove trips in the showers, too....

2. I loved this part

A senior Senate Democratic aide said, "When it's about perjury and obstruction and it deals with sex, Republicans think it's worthy of impeachment. When it's about perjury and obstruction dealing with national security, they don't take it seriously."

It's true. They're the ones who don't take national security seriously and this proves it.

3. Bush's damage-control handlers

That would be Rove, right?

4. you could see this in action w/ K. B. Hutchison

Lying not so much of a big deal.

5. It's "the dog ate my homework" defense

If that's the best they can come up with, they really must be getting desperate.

6. That's what happens when you lie

You tell another lie to cover the first one, then another lie to cover the second lie, then a third lie....

[ClassWarrior]

9. My thought exactly. You can't get tripped up when you tell God's truth.

NGU.

13. That's what happens when you do illegal stuff

and don't want to take the consequences.

7. And if you believe that -

come on.....Rove is way too calculated to get "tripped up". :rofl:

This is becoming a comedy show.

[Birthmark]

10. That's a good excuse

Or at least it would be a good excuse if Rove were a secondary player with no motive for his inaccuracies before the Grand Jury. Instead, he's a central player with PLENTY of motive to try and hide the truth. The specific lies he told reveal that it was intentional.

"Now, shut up and try on this jumpsuit, Karl."

[snippy]

11. So Bush got apeshit angry just because Rove tripped up?

Sounds like Bush must be unstable.

15. This explains alot: Rove=Bush's brain="liars' brains made up differently"

http://www.dailyvidette.com/media/paper420/news/2005/10/12/OtherCampus/Usc-Study.Indicates.Liars.Brains.Made.Up.Differently-1017297.shtml

Ever wonder why some people are just so much better at lying? A new University of Southern California study suggests that the brains of some people are simply more wired for deception.

In the first study of its kind, researchers have found that there are structural abnormalities in the brains of people who habitually lie, cheat and manipulate others.

"Having reduced gray matter in the prefrontal cortex affects decision-making skills, judgment and morals," she said. "We predict that aside from having a better ability to lie, these people lack control. They find it hard to control the tendency to keep telling lies."

"But it's only when people use lies significantly to deceive and manipulate others for personal gain that we classify them as pathological liars," Raine said.

12. Team Bush

What a bunch of losers must populate team Bush. It's always about who they can screw over next (sometimes just for the sport of it!) and never about how to help people.

Team Bush might be qualified for the Special Olympics. Doubt the incompetents could win a medal though, unless they shove the Down's Syndrome kid down on the track. I wouldn't put it past them.

14. As someone wrote Rove remembers precinct results from the 19th

century, he neither forgets or forgives. He didn't forget anything.
