"Bush adviser Karl Rove, Cheney aide cited in leak scandal get pay raises... Full list... More soon."

just lovely.

[SpiralHawk]

1. Bush thumbs his nose at America by rewarding suspected traitors

And then Bush rushes out of town to hide out for another stinking month at The Imperial Pig Farm Upon Crawford.

What's wrong with this picture?

[KoKo]

3. lol's....."Imperial Pig Farm.." a good one...

:D

[Coexist]

21. oh good, another fake chainsaw photo-op

"need some wood?"

[katty]

35. sociopath bush rewards his palace guard of serial liars and crooks

[XboxWarrior]

34. white stripes

lambeth

[onehandle]

2. White House staffers' salaries are chump change.

When Rove leaves (one way or another) he'll make millions overnight.

[cmd]

4. Doonesbury was on it today n/t

[onehandle]

5. Oh, yeah. That was good timing, huh. Strip--->

[Coexist]

7. I love that strip.

So I guess this comes as a surprise to no one, then!

[UpInArms]

27. when will *Co award the traiter the "Medal of Freedom"? .... eom

[WhiteTara]

37. soon, UIA, soon

he wants to take these things one at a time. KKKarl has some lawyer fees he has to pay first. Maybe they will all wear their medals when they face the firing squad for treason.

[MoJoWorkin]

9. and various editors are either pulling the strip

or "editing" it, which is worse. They are offended by "turd blossom" the moniker===even tho it is Bush who gave him the name, and are NOT OFFENDED by TURD BLOSSOM the man?:puke:

6. Because they accomplished their missions.

Crime family values.

[bostonbabs]

12. "Bush LIED to the World to go to war"

..............More importantly, we now can prove it.I wish every liberal or sane conservative would repeat,repeat repeat...... BUSH LIED TO THE WORLD TO GO TO WAR...Because it is the big picture and it needs to be said again and again so the freepers who are so ill informed get it. I think that is what Rove would do?I say "fight fire with fire"....It is hard being a Liberal we are a heavily opinionated group who above all love thinking for ourselves as well as informing ourselves. And freepers ( many who love their country) know no better.I have family members who cannot fathom a president that lies...well wake up.

BUSH LIED TO THE WORLD TO GO TO WAR

[booksenkatz]

16. Don't forget

to add that the entire Bush cabal are war profiteers. Bush didn't lie merely for the sake of lying (although the Bushes do exactly that from time to time). He and his family and buddies are making millions of dollars off of those lies.

And welcome to DU, bostonbabs!
:hi:

[bostonbabs]

20. thank you n/t

[donkeyotay]

32. bush lied to achieve his war... and all those that went along

are now out saying, I believed my President and he LIED to me." They're all outraged, Democrats and Republicans alike. They're going to their constituents at home - who share their outrage - and everyone is demanding impeachment for this crime.

:crazy:

I must be hallucinating again.

[AlCzervik]

8. naturally, i'm sure medals of freedom on the way.

[myrna minx]

28. I remember a time when the medal of freedom wasn't

passed out like tic tacs to murderous, incompetent thugs. Lemme guess that rove will receive a raise, promotion and the medal of freedom. I can't wait for the petition for him to be put on the dollar bill. :eyes:

[wicket]

11. Even traitors gotta pay the bills doncha know

:puke:

[Deja Q]

13. Well, lying about firing wrongdoers in his cabinet wasn't enough...

Rewarding them for doing so...

Surely congress will do something about these jerks? Honor and dignity, my ass.

[Coexist]

14. THE STORY IS UP...

http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Rove_gets_r_0727.html
<snip>
"The top salary, paid to 19 aides, is up $4,000 from last year, barely matching the annual inflation rate,"

But those damn minimum wage workers don't need to stinkin' raises.

[realFedUp]

15. give them Medals of Freedom instead...

Freedom from Responsibility...maybe they can sell them on eBay.

[samsingh]

17. maybe this is further proof that they were just doing the

bidding of their political masters (Bush and Cheney).

[Ernesto]

18. Sounds more n more like that radical babe Randi Rhodes

has been correct all along..... "Reward the loyal screw-ups over & over again".

[damntexdem]

19. Doonesbury was right!

Promotion, well pay raise, for Turd Blossom!

[Miss Chybil]

22. I wonder when they'll get the Medal of Freedom? nt

[skip fox]

25. My thought exactly. Once we start seeing the world

from beneath the surface of a mirror, we can figure out what these jokers are doing. Caught in multiple fedral felonies? No problem. Name them Heroes of the Republic.

This raise might also be an indication of how much they are worried.

Rove went out of his way to laugh sacrastically when a reporter asked him if he would resign. The raise is more such smoke.

[marylanddem]

23. Absolutely sickening

God I hope that special prosecutor is going to frogmarch all their asses out of there...

[Solly Mack]

24. the perks of corruption

[Kelvin Mace]

26. Hell of a raise from

thirty pieces of silver, isn't it?

[Baconfoot]

29. Is this a joke? NT

[nookiemonster]

30. Yep. Just add it to the kitty.

n/t

[Canuckistanian]

31. Do you think this is goading?

I mean, almost everything that the Chimp does these days seems to be designed to infuriate Democrats.
Appointments to sensitive posts, rewarding those who have, by any measure, failed miserably, and Bills designed to target certain groups of people, either to punish them (Democrats) or reward them (corporate donators).

[Straight Shooter]

33. Probably not goading as much as they just don't give a damn.

They're the privileged power elite, creating a new reality for us all, don'tcha know? :sarcasm:

[Canuckistanian]

45. But the timing is just so..... suspicious

So, you're a big boss and there are serious, I mean SERIOUS allegations about wrongdoing on the part of one of your employees.
What do you do? You just wait, lie low and let the legal investigations take place.
What you don't do is announce a raise for him, a financial promotion. If you do, YOU look like the fool if the verdict comes back guilty. possibly even causing suspicions of collusion.

[glitch]

44. Part of it - they are very immature, petty, vindictive people.

It's easier to think of them as nasty, cliquish 3rd graders - then the things they do make more sense. If you try to evaluate their behavior as if coming from adults, your head may explode.

[xilet]

36. Goal Met

Mission Accomplished!

[Justitia]

38. KICKBACKS -eom

[indepat]

39. Underlings should get raises/bonuses for jobs well done

[zara]

40. HUSH money.

As if they weren't already bought off for life!

[Paula Sims]

41. Didn't * say that the leaker would be "taken care of"?

Just an issue of semantics. Move along, nothing to see here folks!

[Pithy Cherub]

42. Bush Republicans take Bribes... Developing

:eyes:

[Ksec]

43. Rethugs taking bribes?

Thats like saying a wet dog stinks.

[Supersedeas]

46. Conservative Family Values???
