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.
Yeah, but that was different! Clinton was really guilty!
ping!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
It's the serious of the charge that counts. It doesn't matter if you are guilty or not. This applies to Reps only.
LOL!
seriousness vice serious
Well, different strokes for different folks, hehe.
Right along the lines of 'Fake, but accurate'.
This from the mouth of a Demrat. . .why can't these people just run on the 'truth of the matter'. . .
Just a 'rhetorical' question. . .for sure, we all know the answer. . .
Google Pixie Grismore. I've never heard any of this...but it's very interesting.
Born Mary Beth Helyer in Iowa, and runner-up in the Miss Iowa contest in 1968. Later married Hoosier David Hale, divorced, then married Iowa native David Grismore shortly before her death.
Accordingly, news stories fromthe Terre Haute and Turkey Run area may refer to her as either Pixie Grismore or Pixie Hale. And biographical info from Chariton/ Lucas County, Iowa may refer to her as Mary Beth or Pixie Helyer.
