7/14 If Rove did nothing wrong please explain why the White House isn't
shouting out their love for him right now? Gee, funny how waiting
to see how the wind blows makes you look bad.
\_ If Rove is found guilty, then the Dems would make fun of Reps
for supporting him. So it's probably better to be quiet. However,
if Rove is NOT found guilty, then the the silence would work
to Reps' advantage-- they're more gentlemen like. Also it would
just make Dems seem stupid, when he's not found guilty, which
I think will be the most likely outcome.
\_ So they think there is a decent chance he will be found guilty?
\_ They probably just think there is a decent chance he'll
be tossed for being caught red-handed doing something
unscrupulous while blowing someone's wife's cover - not
necessarily found guilty.
That is, unless you believe all the talk about Rove not
really leaking Plame's identity but merely confirming it for
snoopy reporters.
\_ It seems to be a pretty standard thing for the Bush admin to
keep quiet in crisis. It seems to work well for them.
\_ Yeah, true, imagine if they'd actually made rousing passionate
speeches instead of cowering in bunkers the morning of 9/11.
\_ If Rove did something wrong, how come he hasn't been charged yet?
\_ patience, grasshopper. |
