1. Rove will take his own place
He'll just work behind the scenes and off the clock.

5. Exactly.


"Off the clock', which is not to say "without reward."

15. They could put him on the RNC payroll
Gives him an excuse to hang around the WH on occasion, and visit Camp D. And Monkeyboy is getting better at using the video link, we saw that just the other day!!!

behind the scenes.

4. I'm sure Bush will want Hughes
but I'm not sure she'll be available after this is over.

BTW, did Karen just get sick of spending more time with her family, or did she realize that her main man was more important than her family?

6. You may be correct.
Hughes would be an entirely appropriate replacement.

Unfortunately for Chimpy, and Karen, she may very well be indicted also.

7. Ditto. Karen Hughes
plus her other "mission" is not going great so it would be a good excuse to yank her from that one.

27. Yes, Karen HUGH1111. I'm series!


Sorry, but it makes me laugh just to see her freeper-ish name.

8. Yesterday, someone on CNN said they suspected it would be Karen Hughs.
Karen is pretty good at protecting Shrub, which is really her job. But she is no Rove! Thank God!

There are very few people as reckless, and without concience, as Rove. He is a firm believer in "the end justifies any means necessary" philosophy.

11. Judging from her current performance, she will probably sink the ship even
further -- which is fine by me. The only unfortunate thing is we will have to see more of her on TV and that's a very annoying prospect -- her voice is up there with Rita Cosby's.

10. God.
God is already advising George, why not make it official and put the Almighty on the payroll? Just make the check payable to God's Earthbound collection agency, the 700 Club.
:sarcasm:

If you mean as WH DCOS, either Hughes or some unknown. If you mean as Bush's Brain, it will remain Karl Rove, through the use of go-betweens, email and phone.

21. And it might be easier than you think ...
... after all, a lot of his Admin buddies may wind up in adjoining cells - business as usual, just from a very off-site location.

19. Why not Ann Coulter?
He/she has already proven that he/she is a lying knob who NEVER gets the facts straight on anything. Isn't that Requisite No. 1 for any Bush appointment?

(and he/she has a last name that is easily turned into a nickname by adding an "IE" -- Coultie. That, of course, is Requisite No. 2.)

23. The serious rumor is that chinless Ed Gillespie is on deck in case
pasty, bloated Rover is indicted.

24. His record over championing Miers has been as great as Hughes'
record over championing the US image in the Middle East. They are both winners so maybe they can split the job!
