Arianna Huffington: Karl Rove's Shameless, Remorseless, Soulless Attempt to Rewrite History


AP

Even now, with his approval ratings scraping the bottom of the historical barrel, Bush still dominates the Congressional agenda on the war. But Rove wants us to buy that back in the heady days of 2002, when the president was still riding a wave of support forged by 9/11, his desire for caution and reasoned action were overridden by a war hungry Congress. I guess he and Bush landed on the whole "I'm the Decider" thing later. Rove now claims that the White House had been "opposed" to holding the Iraq war vote just prior to the 2002 elections because "we thought it made it too political." Too political? For Karl Rove? That's like saying something was too bloody for Count Dracula.

Keith Olbermann showed Rove making this statement the other night as Rove was promoting his new book. Olbermann then showed all of Bush's public statements where Bush was pushing Congress to pass the act and blaming them for not supporting the fight to keep America safe by not passing the act sooner.

Anyone with even one living brain cell knows Rove's statement is a lie and it's for this reason I think Rove's new book might be a good read. If you read it knowing that the only thing in it that even rings close to the truth is the periods that separate the sentences. You will have a written account of the lies Rove knows to be most damaging and needs to be rewritten so he and this nauseous weed will be portrayed in history not as good but a tad less evil and disgusting then they truly are.

The main problem I see is the length of the book. Since this administration has done nothing but lie since well before the sick weed walked into the oval office, there just aren't enough pages in production to cover them all.

EDIT: Forgive me, I should of said Rove's book is not only to cover up the lies he has been a party too but also to introduce new lies in an attempt to paint the stupid decisions of this administration in a better color.

I hadn't thought of it that way, al001.
Very good point.
The thing is, how do we obtain knowledge
from this without buying a new copy (helping
rove profit)?
Buy one copy and pass it around??

Living in the area I'm in I'm fairly sure some other fool will buy it or the local library with at some point obtain a copy. I'll read one of those. I share the same concern as you about contributing to rove's profit.

Card: Rove's Claim That Congress Pushed Bush To War Is Wrong
November 30, 2007 09:00 AM

Karl Rove told Charlie Rose during a recent interview that Congress had pushed President Bush to go into Iraq prematurely. According to Rove, the White House had been opposed to holding the war vote close to the 2002 elections because "we thought it made it too political."

This morning, former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card went on MSNBC's Morning Joe and laughed off Rove's claims. Read part of the transcript from Think Progress:


SCARBOROUGH: We have to start with something that we all are talking about a couple of days ago where Karl Rove went on Charlie Rose and he blamed the Democrats for pushing him and the president into war. Is that how it worked?

CARD: No, that's not the way it worked.

Card went on to explain that sometimes Rove's "mouth gets ahead of his brain":

SCARBOROUGH: Is that just Karl spinning beyond the White House? ...

CARD: Well, Karl is very smart. He's -- sometimes his brain gets ahead of his mouth. And sometimes his mouth gets ahead of his brain.

:laugh:

I'd buy Rove's book if we were going to have a public "burning" of it...or it might be good at the bottom of a 'bird cage'...but I WON'T because the SOB doesn't NEED to PROFIT from all the absolute CRAP he pulled!...P#ss on it! :mad:
