So, when is Bush going to fire Rove?

[porphyrian]

Bush said that he'd fire those responsible for leaking the identity of Valerie Plame to the press when she was an active CIA agent. It turns out that the person responsible was Karl Rove, who was trying to terrorize her for calling b.s. on the Nigeria yellowcake documents (which were actually b.s.). Instead of firing Rove, it looks like Bush actually gave the traitor a raise. So, is Bush just flip-flopping to save a traitor, or when is he going to fire Rove?

1. Rove will not be fired but he may be promoted. n/t

[lancdem]

2. Bush will never fire Rove

Even if he's indicted.

3. no, and when he is indicted he will be pardoned

4. There's leaks and then there's leaks. What he meant was he'd fire

anyone who leaked things he didn't want leaked. He has proven that over and over again. Go against * and your dead, sometimes literally. This was a leak to the press, condoned by *. So it wasn't really a leak, it was information that was leaked.

And with this logic, I think we can all agree, President Clinton did not have sex with that woman in the blue dress.

5. (crickets chirping)

6. You got it backwards; Rove will fire Bush

Rove will turn state's evidence against Bush, make him resign, then serve as advisor to Cheney.

Maybe. Probably just depends on the mood he's in that day.
