So I'm wondering -- what is Karl Rove's job these days?
I remember he used to be involved in domestic policy, but then that was taken away from him so he could concentrate on the midterm elections.

Well, those are over, and I don't recall any mention that he's been given any other responsibilities. Anyone know how he's justifying his oxygen these days?

3. I remember when he was in charge of Katrina. I don't think he's
quite finished with his work there.

4. I'm thinking he is still Bush**'s brain , but since elections are over, he is trying to
get out of Iraq, but Halliburton won't let that happen.

Rove the Horse Also Loses

Race-track loving politicos have taken note that a horse named Rove also lost big on Election Day—but at Churchill Downs, not Washington.

The four-year-old colt—no relation to Bush political adviser Karl Rove—went off 9th in the 2nd race at the famous Kentucky track on Tuesday, and finished dead last. “Rove was always outrun,” said the track’s own synopsis of the race, which occurred on a sloppy track. Unlike the human Rove, the equine version has raced six times and never won.

Provoking still more grins among the politically minded horse set is that the winner of the race was none other than a chestnut colt named…Special Interest. – Neil King Jr.

Maybe like "Rove the horse", Karl will just go out to pasture when this administration gets the heave-ho?

13. I've been thinking about this picture for a long time.
Edited on Mon Dec-18-06 12:59 AM by calimary
I believe it was in 2004, not long before the election. I'll bet he was saying to his buddy, george, "look, I SWEAR you're gonna win. I'll sit here and let this plane run over me if you don't - that's how strong my feeling is." That was mainly because he had all the pieces in place for another election theft. OF COURSE he knew bush was gonna win. He'd put the fix in. Which is why he was going around, all cocky, a month and a half ago, saying he had THE math, and they were gonna hold power. He had the fix in again. It just wasn't enough this time. He underestimated the anger of the voters, and how many of them were actually gonna show up to vote.

I'D bet on it. He was jokingly playing "I'll bet my life on it" with george.
