Bush's illegal spying sort of explains Rove's "genius", doesn't it?
Edited on Mon Feb-06-06 08:25 PM by Marr
There've been numerous times over last few years when Rove seemed to be just a little too well prepared to be believed. Or little PR traps just worked a little *too* well. The Dan Rather/TANG memo comes to mind.

Almost like someone at the WH has had a little inside information.

Since these guys were spying on Americans illegally even before 9-11, before "9-11 woke us up to the threat of terrorism"... I think it's pretty obvious what they're using it for- and it isn't fighting terrorism.

3. Guess Rove's not such a genius after all.
Bush's Brain was just sneaking around spying on people. Any unscrupulous ass-clown could do that.

4. Yep Rove etc. were probably targeting their political "enemies"

and that would be anyone who disagreed with the bushie gang.


And this is why the bushie gang is stonewalling about WHO, and HOW many people they have spied on.

They are lying about WHY -- because the reasons are for a political advantage.

8. Randi said the only reason for bypassing FISA was to avoid
any and all evidence or paper trail of any kind. Which means Democrats. Were spied on. By the way, where in hell is all this really going to end up? Reality is twisting, intensely. Wow. If I was an alien, I'd be fascinated by the whole thing. Instead of being pissed-off. Which is what I am.

11. Didn't Rover once claim somebody bugged his office?
That should have been our clue that they were up to something, with that projection thing that they do and all.
