Well, if Libby and Rove were stupid enough to obstruct justice in front of a grand jury, then they deserve to go. While I am certainly not accepting any of this article as truth now, but rather waiting for some facts emerge, I'm not going to proclaim the end of the world if Rove resigns. It hurts us (at least in the short term) and isn't preferable, but if it happens some other pressing problems need to be addressed in the shakeup.
If they are indicted, maybe it will finally wake up the WH staff and even the President that 'New Tone' notwithstanding, sometimes they have to take up a fight, they should have done more housecleaning of holdovers, and they need to actually wage a real PR battle. Lots of dundering the last 6 months, fronted by the oh so inspiring face of confidence, Scott McClellen. Some of this Miers angst is fired by an increasingly lack in confidence that an administration that has for months had its tail handed to them by the media (in shaping public opinion) can still rise up and counter that media. Despite the many, many good things the administration had done and the difficult poltical climate, the charge of 'amateurs' has rang true in some ways. And some of that blame goes to Rove, he hasn't been the perfect strategist.
Hopefully these rumors are BS, but this administration is in need of some significant changes. And frankly I'm increasingly suspecting that Andy Card may be a big part of the problem.
Yeah, I'm venting, but the WH is overdue to learn from some of their mistakes and make corrections. Happens to the best of us, they aren't exempt.
That's good advice; sometimes they, too, seem "stuck on stupid."
yeah it's past time for Bush to come out swinging instead of playing nicecy with the democrats and the press
these people want to destroy him and all that we stand for and he talks crap like "is that background noise I'm hearing?"
what kind of Bravo Sierra is that?
