Sen. Bayh: Rove Must Step Down, Even if Not Indicted

A Democratic senator and potential 2008 presidential candidate said Thursday that White House political adviser Karl Rove must step down if he is linked to the leaking of a CIA operative's name.

Rove faces a fourth grand jury appearance in the investigation of the leaking of CIA officer Valeria Plame's name after her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, criticized the Bush administration's policies in Iraq.

"Even if he's not indicted, if it appears that a top adviser to the president of the United States was trying to harm someone personally for having a different public policy point of view, that's unacceptable behavior in the White House," Sen. Evan Bayh said.

The Indiana senator said Bush's strategists have divided the nation for short-term political gain.

"That kind of cynical strategy has worked well for Karl Rove and the people whose advice he takes, but it's not good for America and it's not the kind of politics I'm going to practice," Bayh said.

Bayh, who is considering a run for the Democratic presidential nomination, visited Iowa to campaign for legislative candidates.

Hmmm. So when "Bubba" was getting serviced by Monica, that wasn't "unacceptable behavior" for the White House?

God, Evan Bayh is such a putz. And he's dull, too. Deadly combination, that.

Next!

Where was Bayh when the Clinton White House had top advisors working very hard to harm someone personally - such as Linda Tripp?
. . . and the weekly "bimbo eruptions"

Lets start a pool for the first RINO to throw Rove overboard. It has sort of a nice alliterative ring to it, dontja think?

I'd love to see the headline if he runs, and loses:

"Bayh Bye!!!"

Ditto.

I don't know how this state can continually go red, yet somehow this idiot always gets re-elected. Maybe he's right... maybe Hoosiers AREN'T listening. :\

Bayh was further quoted to say:

"Karl Rove does not completely and utterly support the liberal left-hate america first-blame the President for everything that goes wrong anywhere in the world strategy of the Democratic Party. Therefore, we believe it is in the country's best interest the he should resign immediately." ;)

IF every one of Bush's people resigned when the RATS asked them to step down, there would be no one left in the Bush administration. RATS don't know any new tricks. It's always the same old song and dance!

Correction:

He's trying to appeal to the rabid shrill foaming masses in the Democrat Party.
