Whatever.
"Don’t expect to hear much from Bush on Rove, or the Courts after he makes his selections"
Of course not. that's understandable. Rove is under investigation, and after Bush makes his pics for the court, its up to the conservative, elected officials to see it through.
But remember, Sherman Adams, Eisenhowers' chief of staff who virtually ran the white house also became a liability because of some a contentious issue. And the battle with his political enemies wouldn't let it go. The dems have nothing else. Regardless of how Eisenhower felt about him and would continually publicly came out in support of him, Eisenhower began to understand that his legislative legacy" was going to be threatened by continuing to publicly support Adams as part of his administration. Adams resigned. I happened to cover this in my master's thesis.
Bush is in his second term. He wants to ensure that his influence of his presidency continues. Rove has done a wonderful job for Bush, but the Bush administration is bigger than any one man. If, and only if, Rove is found to outed Wilson's wife, and understood, or didn't understand the lawful implications, he should resign. Bush can then focus on upcoming elections, his court nominations, and the war on terror. Rove can then focus on ensuring other conservatives are elected.
Someone else thought this was about Bolton. While it makes sense with the CIA angle, I wonder if the RATS would actually go nuclear on Bolton or save it for SCOTUS.
Is it them safe to assume that this is a preemptive strike by the RATS?
Yeah? Still waiting for Ari to show back up at the WH.
