Of all the Chicken-Shit ways to fire someone....

[RazBerryBeret]

this has to be one of the weirdest;

“On a Sunday in midsummer, George W. Bush accompanied Karl Rove to the Episcopalian Church Rove sometimes attended,” writes Alexander. “They made their way to the front of the congregation. Then, during their time in the church, Bush gave Rove some stunning news. ‘Karl,’ Bush said, ‘there’s too much heat on you. It’s time for you to go.’”

Maybe Bush knew what he was doing in breaking such bad news in such serene atmosphere: As Alexander documents, Rove has quite the temper.

1. Yeah, but it couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.

Rove himself would have done the same thing.

2. I'm guessing self-preservation ...

A church might be the only place such news would have prevented Rove from strangling the little pipsqueak on the spot.

4. then damn, why didn't he do it in a nice quiet office....

hehe..

3. Probably the only time W's been to church in his presidency

6. actually, the two of them

attending the same church may be a signal for the apocalypse.

10. surprising the church didn't just burst into flames.

[RazBerryBeret]

12. exactly..I think if I had

been there that sunday and saw those two walk in, I would've had to walk out. afraid of lightening strike or something!!!

5. I'm just amazed that Rove was able to set foot in the church

Without him bursting into flame, or without it crumbling to rubble.

7. And God looked down and saw that this was good

: - )))

When's Bushie's turn for some smiting?

[RazBerryBeret]

9. I hope it's soon!!!

and I wonder if the people behind them in the pews were going.."shhhh"??

8. "I don't want anything to happen to him while our mother is still alive."

11. I have a hard time believing this story.

13. If True, At Least He Did It In Person

Rather than through an intermediary or memo/email or some such.

I think when you don't even have the cojones to look the firee in the eye yourself is the worst kind of cowardice.

[RazBerryBeret]

14. ok, by email would be worse, I guess...

but when you're the president of the United States it seems like you should be able to call anyone into your office and fire them if you had to....

I guess unless that person had the moniker "Bush's Brain".....then I guess it might be tricky.
