Rove ‘overcome with emotion’ on his last day.

[deminks]

Karl Rove was nearly overcome with emotion Friday as colleagues privately paid tribute to the political adviser as he leaves the White House, senior officials say.

At the closed-door senior staff meeting at 7:30 a.m. in the Roosevelt Room, Rove was surprised with a slide show of photos chronicling his nearly seven years at President Bush’s side, through good times and bad.

So, KKKarl, leaving the WH is the only thing that makes you cry? Crocodile tears?

14. The Constitution has been hitting him in the ass for years.

It's what he and every other Bushie have been wiping their butts with since 2001.

17. I don't want the door to hit him on the ass, either

because might enjoy it.

But don't think for a minute he's GONE gone. He'll just be slithering back to operating behind the scenes again, that's all.

5. I've seen this sort of thing happen...

right before Kirk makes all the robots and the Master Computer explode.

6. The "colleagues" were probably ordered to pay tribute to the pig

and are planning their own "rove retirement party" tonight at some bar (without rove of course).

I can't imagine a POS like this inspiring a great deal of loyalty or respect in any underling.

18. Isn't Jenna"the innocent" going to marry one of his aides?

7. The thing that immediately comes to mind is all the persons

who might be alive had these reckless people not been able to steal the election from Al Gore. Very sad!

8. I am conflicted.

As a Texan, it is hard to figure out who is the bigger piece of shit-Rove or DeLay.

I hate them both so much. Ambivalence is stressful.

9. I'd like to put together a slide show for that sociopath. n/t

"We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

16. That's a billion dollar question in my book.

As I said in another post, I hope they changed the locks, so to speak. And Welcome to DU, simmonsj811!
