Karl Rove in Hillary's Office
NewsMax ^ | 11/18/02 | Limbacher

Posted on 11/18/2002 10:16:44 AM PST by Tumbleweed_Connection

How powerful is special advisor to the president Karl Rove?

So powerful that he now occupies the White House office once commandeered by one-time co-President Hillary Clinton.

"Rove sits in Hillary Clinton's old West Wing office," reveals Time Magazine this week, adding, "and that's as good an image as any: he and the President have a long political marriage."

Occupying Hillary's old digs is a real coup for the Bush advisor. Mrs. Clinton was not only the first, first lady to have an office in the prestigious West Wing - she accepted it only when her husband refused to accede to her demands for the vice president's office.

Where Al Gore was to be relegated in Mrs. Clinton office plan is anybody's guess, but White House insiders have long maintained it was a close call for Mr. Clinton. Minutes before the 1992 presidential inauguration, the Clintons had a cursing, screaming battle over the dispute, according to Secret Service agents who overheard the verbal donnybrook.

"The office has the only full-length vanity mirror in the West Wing," Rove told Time's Hugh Sidey, adding that he first thought the mirror was installed by Mrs. Clinton. She insists, however, that it was there when she moved in.

If Rove has discovered any FBI files or old billing records during his short tenure, he didn't tell Sidey.

I hope he had that office fumigated before moving in.

I hope he got a new chair. The thought of sitting in the same chair as Ole Crusty makes want to vomit.

Hitlery is fat cow.

Another reminder of why I hate Ross Perot.

If the conservative agenda is to have a chance of succeeding and if conservative judges are to gain Senate approval, we must preserve a Republican Senate--which is in greater jeopardy than many realize.

For those who understand why the Louisiana election is crucial to retaining the Senate in the face of possible Republican defections by Chafee and McCain, please see the article just posted on:

I hope they invited an exorcist to cast out the demonic spirits that attend the Harpy Clinton before Karl Rove moved in the office.

I'm surprised it made it intact..... Must be safety glass.

You realize that the second sentence does not necessarily refute the first.

Hmmm... it seems that ol' Bubba Clinton did have b@lls after all.

Though, it would be interesting what leverage Hitler had over Bubba. It sure can't be withholding of marital favors.

Yes. You'd end up catching crotch crabs sitting on her chair; or some disease.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who's the biggest bitch of all?

Or, the picture of Dorian Grey.
