Karl Rove in Hillary's Office
NewsMax ^ | 11/18/02 | Limbacher

Posted on 11/18/2002 10:16:44 AM PST by Tumbleweed_Connection

How powerful is special advisor to the president Karl Rove?

So powerful that he now occupies the White House office once commandeered by one-time co-President Hillary Clinton.

"Rove sits in Hillary Clinton's old West Wing office," reveals Time Magazine this week, adding, "and that's as good an image as any: he and the President have a long political marriage."

Occupying Hillary's old digs is a real coup for the Bush advisor. Mrs. Clinton was not only the first, first lady to have an office in the prestigious West Wing - she accepted it only when her husband refused to accede to her demands for the vice president's office.

Where Al Gore was to be relegated in Mrs. Clinton office plan is anybody's guess, but White House insiders have long maintained it was a close call for Mr. Clinton. Minutes before the 1992 presidential inauguration, the Clintons had a cursing, screaming battle over the dispute, according to Secret Service agents who overheard the verbal donnybrook.

"The office has the only full-length vanity mirror in the West Wing," Rove told Time's Hugh Sidey, adding that he first thought the mirror was installed by Mrs. Clinton. She insists, however, that it was there when she moved in.

If Rove has discovered any FBI files or old billing records during his short tenure, he didn't tell Sidey.

I hope he got a new chair. The thought of sitting in the same chair as Ole Crusty makes want to vomit.

Fear not. That chair is in Chapaquah now, along with half of the other White House furniture.

Well, since Limbacher brings it up and evidently Rove commented on this with the denial by "her" that she installed the mirror, how hard would it be to track down the occupant during President Bush 41 and ask if the mirror was there? I'm going with her lying about it unless proven otherwise.

If everyone who CLAIMS they voted for Ross Perot really had, he would have won in a landslide.

It'll be 2008, or possibly 2004 if she thinks ANYONE has a shot at beating W.

Remember the deal.

Yes, but look what the little jerk did to our country over those eight years by putting himself in the way of a Bush victory. I don't think Perot should pat himself on the back on that one. He did a terrible thing and he has to live with the results. Unfortunately, so do the rest of us. No wonder he doesn't show his face. He should be ashamed for what he did.

This is so pathetic. What a sick woman. To think she actually wanted the Vice President's office-there is such a thing as being full of yourself, and then, there is hitlery rodbutt klinton!

LOL!!!

And, I wonder what Bill was doing just minutes before this marvelous episode of the Clinton marriage.

Did the Secret Service see any ill-used cigars lying around by any chance?

I've also read that Hitlery would sit at the desk in the Oval Office when Bill was out of town. Obviously trying it on for size. I'll bet she has "official" pictures of her at that desk, too. She also insisted that she be in all the official presidential photos used in embassies, etc. First Ladies are never in that picture, but Hitlery was there in her capacity as co-president.

She apparently has a senate office far more lavish than a first-term junior senator is entitled to. Of course, she is the only senator with lifetime Secret Service protection, so I guess a basement office is out of the question.

Prior to her run for the presidency in 2008, she will appoint herself senate minority leader so she can give news conferences every day. After all, she has the FBI files on all the RATs and news media, too.

This thread provides some great laughs.

However-the over-riding theme is the clintons lust for power.

It is way over the top.

This duo has defiled and corrupted and disgraced not only the WH and our nation-but they have systematically infiltrated and coerced their way into the lead positions in the dem party in such a way that that control would continue after klinton left office.

Their use of those FBI files was probably most used when the impeachment vote went to the senate floor for the great decision on whether this goofball, mafia like duo should be thrown out of our highest office. Not one of the dem senators had the strength of character to stand against this filthy husband and wife (or corporation, whichever fits). So the true, inside control of the DNC was already a given-and the files probably made it a direction that will remain for as long as these two are allowed to hold at least one office.

Hillary will either run for president or the govenor of NY next. And there is not one dem who will take a stand against her.

Her husband has said her run for the presidency is a 'when not an if'-and it will be up to all of us across this nation to stop her. And we will.
