Aww, there's trouble in paradise. Rove says there is no feud going on between Bush and Cheney
Former Bush White House adviser Karl Rove disputed an account in the New York Daily News Tuesday claiming that Vice President Dick Cheney was outraged that the president did not pardon Cheney’s former chief of staff I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby.

“I know that he felt strongly about this,” Rove said during an interview on NBC’s “Today Show.” “But I think the tabloids tend to get these things overblown. (Cheney and former President George W. Bush) are two very close men who have a long and enduring relationship that is good and positive.”

The Daily News reported that Cheney was working up until the last minute of his term in office to get Libby pardoned, a report corroborated by Cheney’s own remarks a month ago upon leaving the White House.

“He was the victim of a serious miscarriage of justice, and I strongly believe that he deserved a presidential pardon,” Cheney told the Weekly Standard. “Obviously, I disagree with President Bush’s decision.”

1. Always believe Turd Blossom
Though, who the fuck cares about this anyway. If it doesn't include war crime tribunals, I don't want to know shit about these losers.

2. "Serious miscarriage of justice"
Yeah, yer right Karl, should've been you in prison instead of Scoot Scoot. I'd accept that swap.

4. Well, if Cheney wanted Scooter pardoned...
...and Junior didn't do it---of course there's trouble.

Are we actually supposed to believe that when Dick orders the chimp around--and doesn't get
his way--that it's all peaches and cream?

The only thing worse than the criminal actions of Rove--is how presumptuous he is about our lack
of intelligence.

I mean really...does Rove have any credibility...at all?
