Breaking on CNN: Rove to talk during 7pm hour! nt

[babylonsister]

[thinkingwoman]

1. Could it be?

Do I DARE to hope?

:popcorn:

[DeepModem Mom]

4. Wolf said would "speak out" for first time.

[thinkingwoman]

17. oh boy

this will either be very good (for us) or very bad (for him and Bushco). I can't see any other outcome.

NO way would I speak on camera if I was being dogged by a grand jury. Then again, I HAVE a brain. :eyes:

[Nordic65]

41. Could also be the start of a vengeful(TM) counterattack

[thinkingwoman]

95. honestly

that would still be good for us and bad for them. America's eyes are opening, and America is no longer impressed or easily led.

[Faygo Kid]

118. Of course that's what it will be. Smear, smear, smear.

Anybody who thinks this "man" is going to give a thoughtful address is, frankly, nuts. He will cement the dittoheads here, and go on from there.

[fearnobush]

134. Lets tell Wolf and CNN How We Really Feel About The Rove Stunt Tonight...

[kpete]

I am trembling

Yes, I have been on DU everyday, posting, reading, posting, reading, replying, posting...mostly because of Rove.

Rove is the guy who burns me up. I will not be content until I see with my own eyes that he burns in hell, even if I have to make a visit there. Sorry, I am actually a very spiritual person, but in my 53 years on earth I have never seen more evil in politics. Thanks for letting me vent. Now on to the show!!!

[thinkingwoman]

9. venting is good

and DU is a great place to do it! :hi:

[hwmnbn]

2. I'll say it....

He will resign!!!!

[hwmnbn]

12. But let's not stop there....

under a deal with Fitzgerald, he will be publically frogmarched out of the briefing room and led away in handcuffs to the nearest police booking station. All under the glare of the national news media.

OK, I got carried away, but I can dream can't I?

[warrens]

26. I doubt it

THAT announcement will be made at midnight on a Friday.

[hang a left]

80. Well it is kind of Friday...

It is the start of a 3 day weekend.

[Virginian]

86. It is almost a Friday -- tomorrow is a holiday for many.

The three day Veterans Day weekend. Bush will show how patriotic he is by laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington. One of those Unknowns may not have been drafted if Bush hadn't bumped him from the Texas National Guard list.

[Maddy McCall]

Damn! I never expected it to be THIS quick.

Should I go buy some Champipple?

[NNN0LHI]

3. Resignation for the presidents sake

Been wanting to spend more time with the family for a long time. Doesn't want to be a distraction blah, blah, blah.

Don

[BL611]

7. Who suggested

he would resign??

[hwmnbn]

20. wishful thinking on my part....

putting it out to the universe kinda thing. Venting on DU. It was my first hunch.

Nothing more to read into it. I'll be watching

[DoYouEverWonder]

8. No way

He's just going to justify everything he's done and he thinks he will get away with it.

[thinkingwoman]

18. I would prefer resignation

but idiotic spinmeister babbling while still under investigation will be fine too.

:popcorn:

[Seedersandleechers]

64. I think you are right-but I hope you are wrong

[ReadTomPaine]

99. I agree. It's the first phase of the counterattack they've been hinting at

[Roland99]

69. Like he won't still be *'s brain. Phones/faxes/emails/etc.

Rove will still be the driving force.

[Patsy Stone]

5. Let us spray...

Pleeeeze resign. That is all.

[fooj]

6. Let's hope the arrogant SOB babbles himself into a deeper hole...

:grr:

[DoYouEverWonder]

10. Exactly, put another log

on the evidence pile.

[kohodog]

11. He's probably going to announce

that Bush is giving him a medal of freedom. He wouldn't quit in public.

[WI_DEM]

13. Fine resign, but I want his ass indicted too!

There is no doubt he has his hands all over this Plame mess.

[deadparrot]

14. If only...

I'm not holding my breath, though.

Too bad I can't be here; it's caught my interest. Guess I'll be rushing back here at 7:30 when class gets out.

[DeepModem Mom]

15. I wonder if he's had word from Fitz, one way or the other. nt

[babylonsister]

21. Tomorrow IS Friday! Ooooh! The suspense...! nt

[DoYouEverWonder]

28. Nothing is going to happen tomorrow

it's Veteran's Day. The courts are probably closed.

[babylonsister]

42. Thanks for slappin' me back down to earth! nt

[thefloyd]

43. Raw Story confirmed Rove aid will testify again

I think this info is new REALLY NEW

http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Rove_aide_called_back_to_testify_1110.html

[Walt Starr]

16. BREAKING: Wolf's quesiton list leaked!

"So why have the Democrats targeted you with this partisan investigation?"

"Just how partisan is Patrick Fitzgerald?"

"How has your faith in God helped you during these trying times?"

[thinkingwoman]

22. Oh Walt!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


Note to self: NEVER drink anything while reading Walt Starr.

[Brundle_Fly]

51. and...

how do you fight against a party with no ideas?

[hang a left]

83. Oh my god!!

You had me goin for a minute. I thought you were series.

[jane_pippin]

19. But...But...I thought there was an *ongoing investigation* going on!

edit:

As usual, this stuff always happens when I have to work. DUers, thanks in advance for the threads I'll get to read when I get home. :thumbsup:

[NNN0LHI]

23. I don't think he will mention any investigation n/t

[jane_pippin]

27. Yeah but doesn't this constitute commenting while there's one ongoing?

I'm sure it will all be vague bullshit, but vague bullshit in the midst of an (cue danger music) Ongoing Investigation! I thought these all-stars were against that sort of thing.

I could be wrong. Maybe he's just going to come out and say hi or something.

[NNN0LHI]

38. If he sticks to his resignation it won't hurt n/t

[jane_pippin]

46. I know. You're right, you're right.

Perhaps I could have used the old sarcasm tag. I'm sure he'll be his typical weasely little self, and I'm disappointed that I'll miss it as I'm sure it will be sufficiently ridiculous whatever it is. Maybe he'll just try to claim he's innocent.

And actually, I hope he doesn't resign. I want him to get fired. But that's wishful thinking.

edit: had another thought to add

[Catherine Vincent]

24. It'll be a spot for Rove to spout his lies.

Just like Wolfie did with Gannon.

[babylonsister]

25. Why would he want to attract more attention to himself? nt

[NewJeffCT]

50. agreed - why only CNN if he's resigning?

If he was resigning, it would be a news conference where he could talk to all the reporters, give a short statement & then leave.

[Catherine Vincent]

61. I didn't say he was resigning.

[NewJeffCT]

96. I know you didn't

but, half the posters above you had speculated he was!

[buddysmellgood]

120. I agree. Just more lies. No one goes on a talk show to resign.

[wiley]

29. HE MUST BE CONVICTED

The only thing I want him to say is "I am a traitor. I committed Treason. I do not deserve to have a security clearance or a job that affects people." Anything else is just more crap.

[WiseButAngrySara]

30. I despise Rove so much, that it almost equals my hatred of Cheney (it may

well surpass it), and I can't listen to Cheney OR B* OR KKKRove, without wanting to smash the TV set. So I doubt that I'll tune in, but will follow it on DU. Just the thought of that evil beast makes me want to vomit.

[mmonk]

31. ?!

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[kohodog]

35. Pass some over here please!

This will be a real spin fest.

[mmonk]

72. Sure

To counteract the spin, try one of these.
:beer:

[kohodog]

89. Or two.

:toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

[dave29]

32. "I did not leak on that man, Bob Novak"

er, wait, I mean to him

[Brundle_Fly]

33. he will "LIE" people...

thats what he does, professionally, you, the US taxpayer pay for it.

he wont disappoint.

[DanCa]

34. So will rove reveal how he stole the election of 2004?

In lieu of going to jail will he cut a plea and roll over on this administration? I know the chances are slim and none but it's just a fleeting thought.

[kpete]

37. I am still trembling!!!

[DanCa]

40. welcome to du kpete

note if you need it a got some parkie medicine for your trembles :D

[femrap]

75. I'm with you.....rove represents EVERYTHING that is wrong

with this country. Welcome to DU!

[IndyOp]

135. My dream! You are now officially in my dream!

The one in which someone in the WH who is flipping to save themselves from jail time spills the beans about exactly how many millions of votes were stolen from US!

This dream began the day before Fitz's big press conference...

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Don Claybrook]

36. Will this only be on CNN?

I would guess so, but I wanted to make sure it was not an all-networks, presidential-style preemption of regular programming.

[babylonsister]

39. I think it's a CNN exclusive. nt

[Flubadubya]

78. If it's a CNN exclusive and not a FOX exclusive...

can that tell us anything about what this may or may not be about? :shrug:

[mmonk]

44. I did not have

leak with that man, Mr Novak.
:popcorn:

[wallwriter]

45. Optimism is misplaced. This will begin a full-scale counterattack

on the Dems. It might be useless and desperate, as well as full of the usual astonishingly brazen lies, but it promises to be cunning and vicious.

Bet on it.

[NightOwwl]

62. I agree. n/t

[laureloak]

77. I predict an attack on Joe Wilson. n/t

[ReverendDeuce]

47. No link, no dice...

I don't buy it until I see it myself.

[babylonsister]

52. Here, ye of little faith!

http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/situation.room/

[DistressedAmerican]

58. Healthy Skepticism Is A Good Thing. This Just Sounds Reactionary.

Did you think folks were just making this up out of the blue on two different threads?

[tjdee]

48. "I am not swayed by this partisan attack on my impeccable ethics."

I'm sure it will go along those lines, and I'm kind of irritated that
he's even bothering. They must really be in damage control mode, but I don't care, as they have ample time and the bully pulpit to work with.

Seems fitting that it'll be during time with Wolf "Suck" Blitzer.

[Halliburton]

49. I think he was scheduled to speak at a fundraiser tonight

[kpete]

53. From Daily Kos with poll

Karl Rove to Speak Publicly About His Role In CIA Leak Case Tonight
by Glic
Thu Nov 10, 2005 at 03:51:42 PM PDT

I'm lying here with what seems like a migraine, exacerbated by listening to always-on-message Ken Mehlman on CNN's "The Situation Room" with Wolf Blitzter, and Wolfie announces that Howard Dean is going to be on in the 7 o'clock hour, and then said that Karl Rove will be speaking publicly for the first time regarding his role in the CIA Leak Investigation during that hour also and CNN will carry his remarks.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/11/10/175142/47

[Halliburton]

63. they will air his comments live

but Wolf is not going to interview him from what I can tell.

[DearAbby]

54. Can't be his resignation...wouldn't he wait until Friday news dump?

Maybe not, whole weekend the bobbleheads would be discussing it. Has to be I am innocent and I vow to clear my good name spiel(sp)Not going down without a fight crap.

[babylonsister]

56. Tomorrow's Veterans Day, so today is Friday, sort of. nt

[mmonk]

57. Just a lie session on TV I think.

[thefloyd]

55. Wild Guess

Rove and another person resign and McCain will be part of the Admin somehow.

[NightOwwl]

59. He will go on a full-out attack on Dems....

mark my words.

[Mz Pip]

60. Not talk, SPIN

He will spin, spin, spin. And basically say nothing except that this is an ongoing investigation and he is confident that once all the *facts* come out he will be cleared and can get back to doing the work of the president.

:puke:

Mz Pip
:dem:

[cmd]

66. Precisely.

Don't expect anything but excuses.

[sepia_steel]

65. Don't get your hopes up.

he will lie as he always does and ridicule the * WH critics as he always does. It'll be nasty and we'll hate him even more.

[tallahasseedem]

67. Brace for the

"Democrats hate America" bit. It was reported that they were going to go on the defensive and this could be the beginning. How appropriate that they are going to their whipping boy Blitzer.

[Rainscents]

68. Oh my, Rove is going to open his mouth on live TV spill more lies,

wow, whatta surprise! :crazy:

[Lex]

70. Well, if his mouth is moving, it must be a lie.

nt

[RobertSeattle]

71. Do they have a stack of bibles for him to swear on?

[kpete]

74. spotted on Kos

[Pacifist Patriot]

73. "I am not a crook."

Oops, sorry. They all start to sound alike after awhile.

[Kingofalldems]

76. He'll say Democrat party, Democrat party

Over and over. BTW, Dean is also on.

[Bouncy Ball]

79. ...

a) if he were resigning, someone else would announce it, reading it from some sort of memo and it would be a news update on all the channels

b) they just said a few days ago they were preparing to "hit back"

c) I would guess this is the start of the hitting back

Ooooooo, I'm scared. Not.

I'll be away from the TV when this happens, not that it would be worth watching. I'll just catch the highlights here later.

It'll be more "ooo those mean ol' Democrats!" crap. Puh-leeze.

[thefloyd]

84. I don't think there will be attacks

Bushco not exactly in a good position to start offensive

[Bouncy Ball]

93. LOL, what's stopped them before?

If there's one thing they have plenty of, it's hubris.

[thefloyd]

107. Oh yeah Bushco

has lots of Hubris. In my opinion that is the problem nothing has stopped them before thus Bush's low approval rating

[progressoid]

81. 6:00 Central????

[babylonsister]

85. Yes, I'm thinking. 7pm ET where Wolfie is. nt

[progressoid]

88. Okey Dokey. thanks...nt

[geek tragedy]

82. Bring. it. on.

The White House and everyone are two kinds of birds at once. They're both lame ducks and albatrosses.

[garybeck]

87. this is part of the "fighting back" plan

if you read on CNN yesterday they said that the administration is going to launch a "campaign style" fight against the CIA leak case, attacking democrats and blaming them for the whole thing.

I just hope that Fitzgerald is watching.

[Missy Vixen]

90. Okay, I am nowhere near a television.

Please feed the own-their-own-business rats ;-).

In the meantime, shall we wager on what's going to be said? Since the GOP sent their boy Ben Stein out yesterday to call America's Hottest Prosecutor a "thug", I'm thinking it's more namecalling.

Julie

[kpete]

91. Wolf just said

We will bring you his remarks live (I rather it be dead).

[jillan]

92. Dean's gonna be on too

woohoo

This is a GREAT day:toast:

[Bouncy Ball]

94. Surely not at the same time.

Surely His Highness Rove would not put up with being on TV at the same time as a man who cares about PEOPLE.

[jillan]

98. haha - that would be interesting.

No Dean will be on after Rover
So that will even be better.

[ecstatic]

97. Resignation or not, won't he still work behind the scenes

Either way? I'm pretty sure he'll still be giving Bush advice, even if from behind a jail cell.

[babylonsister]

103. More than likely. What burns me is if dimson was indeed elected,

and I have my doubts, Rove wasn't. Repugs think dimson can't function w/o his brain. While that may be true, that's tough shit. Rove wasn't elected. If he's guilty of anything, pull his security clearance and throw the bum out!

[Cleita]

100. It will be another pile of lies that have nothing to do

with reality.

[kpete]

101. WOLFIE JUST ASKED

What will Rove say?

[DeepModem Mom]

102. It IS a speech!! Not a talk with Wolf???

[Roland99]

104. Is Rove on?

[DeepModem Mom]

106. not yet

[ProSense]

105. Any chance he'll be shackled after it's delivered? n/t

[laylah]

108. It is 7:08 EST

Where the hell IS he??????????????????

Jenn

[Az_lefty]

109. Wuz happening guys??? n/t

[DeepModem Mom]

111. Wolf just said, "We'll be carrying it live." Nothing yet.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

110. C'Mon damnit!

[DeepModem Mom]

112. Some on the other thread saying this is previously scheduled speech...

to the Federalist Society. Still hasn't started.

[DeepModem Mom]

113. They're saying C-Span is confirming this is Fed. Society -- streaming?

Can some of you at work watch C-Span streaming?

[babylonsister]

114. So this will be a prepared speech? If so, that

stinks, especially the way CNN spun it.

[DeepModem Mom]

115. I thought it was an exclusive, the way Wolf talked earlier.

[babylonsister]

125. Thanks. You and me both. nt

[David Zephyr]

116. Jane_Pippin Got It: What happened to "There's an on-going investigation?"

If Scottie has dodged every single question that the press has given him, if the Vice President and the President hide behind the crap of "there's an on-going investigation...", then Rove should be hammered for speaking out on the issue.

[jane_pippin]

136. Hey, thanks.

What gets me about it is not even that he's talking about it. (Fitz said in his press conference if, I remember it correctly, that witnesses could talk if they wanted but Fitz couldn't. I think that's what he said anyway.).

It's that they won't answer questions about any of it . That they'll only talk about it on their terms because they couldn't possibly be expected to stoop so low as to answer the questions of the American people--you know, the ones they're always claiming to speak for, as in "The American People want me to keep workin' hard, and I'ma gonna do that. Yee-haw!"

It makes me sick.

[Gregorian]

117. Ooh. Karl's got his hand on his "heart". They're pledging allegiance.

So that's his first lie.

[Faygo Kid]

122. His what? His heart? Sorry, none exists.

He has his hand over his empty chest. Pledging allegiance to raw power and the wealth that makes it happen.

119. it is on CSpan now

showed Rove greeting people, at Marriott.

Federalist Society.
opening with a prayer.

[Gregorian]

121. Now they're praying. Visions of endictments dance in Karl's head.

[Gregorian]

123. Now the intro is joking about bettering the "human condition"

God knows how much they care.

[garybeck]

124. I. Cannot. Watch. This. BS.

[Gregorian]

126. It's Karl's Konspiracy Klubhouse.

[Danascot]

127. I'm taping it

and I'll be listing it soon on eBay.

To find it search for 'appetite suppressant' and 'Bulimia made easy'

[Kurovski]

128. OK, so I just jumped in here, but it looks like they're trying to

make Karl look good to the base and help clean him up a little. I mean, i don't recall EVER seeing or hearing him speak like this. Why now?

I never even knew what his voice sounded like. Lot's of sibilant s's, also sounds like he's got a mouthful of saliva. I'm surprised.

[robbedvoter]

129. Ken Lay praying - was NY Post's cover when things got bad for him

It seems SOP to call God when they reach bottom.

[Kurovski]

131. Yeah, I guess his next stop will be a prayer breakfast

somewhere in the "heartland."

130. I got too bored to watch but here is a snip

from AP.


WASHINGTON -- At a time when he is under criminal investigation in the CIA leak case, Karl Rove stepped into the limelight Thursday night, praising failed Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers to an influential group of conservative lawyers.

"If you like every one of the 200 judges that we have sent forth to the U.S. Congress to be approved in the last three years, there hasn't been one of them who hasn't been researched, vetted, studied, analyzed or recommended by my friend Harriet Miers," the deputy White House chief of staff said in remarks to the Federalist Society.

In his 20-minute speech, Rove did not mention that Miers withdrew her nomination because of opposition from President Bush's conservative base.

[RetroLounge]

132. Maybe he'll do what that PA politician did

Hey Man Nice Shot!

RL

[lonestarnot]

133. Well if he's not resigning I don't want to see his pig face.
