WASHINGTON --
Karl Rove says he's not The Exorcist.
Rove, the Bush political shaman Democrats love to demonize, enlisted a trio of clergymen to exorcize Hillary Rodham Clinton's left-wing spirit when he moved into her West Wing office in 2001, according to an unflattering new biography.
"I talked to Karl; he said it's not true and, beyond that, he will have no comment," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.
Clinton smiled and shook her head in disbelief yesterday when asked about the tale, which appears in "The Architect: Karl Rove and the Master Plan for Absolute Power," by James Moore and Wayne Slater.
"I'm speechless," she finally said, heading toward a Senate elevator.
Later, Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines quipped, "If the story is true ... they sure did exorcize any lingering competence right out of the building."
Deal Hudson, a former Fordham University professor Rove enlisted to woo Catholic voters, told the authors that he witnessed the exorcism, which he described as "an actual liturgical ceremony."
He did not return a message seeking comment.

Rove emphatically denies that any of these products had to be used to clean up after Hillary:

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Neutron radiation, followed by (ahem "liberal" salting of the target site with Cobalt.

He's talking about the Ex-First-Lady as if she were running the government. Oh, wait....
Actually, I think it would be prudent to exorcise and cleanse any area that was infected by her demonic presence. Good call Rove!

I'm not so sure about by orignal "nuke it from orbit plan". I could see something like a Japanese movie monster from it.

Smart move. Wise of them to do so.
Now if they could do the same thing for the country and remove her hideousness to Siberia . . .

If true, that is probably what caused Hillary's fainting spells. But I don't believe it's true.

Wow. Thanks for the link. I'm not surprised at what he said, just that it was reported at all.

You know this is probably a madeup story when Hitlery is speechless because that is madeup too. Who cares what Hitlery, who can't speak for herself, thinks.
