Bush Fired Karl Rove In Church To Avoid A Scene, Says New Book

New York Examiner:

If you're going to fire someone, you want to make sure you do it in a place where the now-unemployed can't make a scene.

You know...a place like, say, a church. That, according to a new book - "Machiavelli's Shadow" - by former Time magazine reporter Paul Alexander, is where President George W. Bush informed trusted advisor Karl Rove in 2007 that his services would no longer be needed at the White House.

He did this in church just to keep Rove from having a 'hissy fit'? Well ain't that special? Now just 'picture this'! The expression on Rove's face, the change of color from pale pink to fuchia, all while the service was going on. Then the tears, rage being suppressed, the head being laid on Bushes shoulder, sobbing, slobbering, what a pretty sight for the congregation!

Bullllshit! Karl Rove RUNS the government -- not Dubya! Rove and Cheney have been pulling the strings since 1996 -- Bush is just the front-man -- the guy sent out before the cameras, to deliver the regime's message with a nice, smiley-face attatched to it.

If Rove was "fired," what's he still doing running McSame's campaign? He didn't even change offices or staff.

You got that right! Bush is just a "bobble head" figure. That's all.

The visual is just delicious. I can just imagine Rover want to EXPLODE. I can see GWBush with that smirk, thinking To himself, "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED".

[dadw5boys]

Bush should have burned him at the stake!!!!!!!

Classy guy, that Boosh.

Hey, in a way he did fire the leaker, just like he said he would.

Truth. From Boosh.

Well, I guess there's a first time for everything.

>>“To do what he did politically to us is unforgivable," Rep. Tom Tancredo told Alexander. "It will take generations to recover. I don't know how long; maybe never."

You did it to yourselves by going along with it. You're still going along with it so you have no reason to cry.

I don't believe this Bush would have had someone else do it because he hadn't got the B to do it him self. But since it was Rove may be he did. He has never confront anything in his life I know because when younger I live south of Midland Texas. During the last election and the brave swift-boater made their statements Max Cleland went to confront Bush and he would not meet with him. This guy is the biggest coward who ever lived.

Right, remember the spectacle of Cindy Shehan waiting for him to meet with her outside of Crawford. I wonder if half of the public appearances he makes are really done by an impersonator like Kevin Kline in "Dave".

Bush is a coward...bottom line!

[comacoma]

And a traitor....

I can see how firing "it" could be a religious experience.

Amazing how these sin-sick souls go into "churches" and exit in the same conditions!! Maybe the devil rides along in the limos!

[fcsakes]

They'll be together again in prison so all is not lost.

Wow, all I did was compare Rovey to the undead and the soulless and suggested that he might immediately burst into flames if he were to actually step inside a church, and I get scrubbed. The truth hurts!

[tressie22]

That is, as we'd say in the *Joshua Generation, GANGSTA! LOL In a church? Wow. I'm not sure what Jesus would do but I do feel like the guy should have been offered some communion wine first. LOL

[gladys46]

These bumbs give new meaning to GANSTA!

[aznurse]

it would have been funny if he hid and said it over a loud speaker.

[don]

Or taken the pulpit and announced, "All of you who still have a job, take one step forward. Where are you going, Karl?"

[mrBlue1]

Geez. It's soooo nice to have the blog back and catch up with the old crowd since the Hillary vs. O wars.
