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

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.

How gutless do you have to get, to be physically afraid of Karl Rove?

I guess it's the duty of a church to allow anybody though it's doors, even alleged war criminals.

May 12, 2006 was a bad day for Pinky. Did he make a deal with Fitzgerald? Did Pinky fink out Boosche and the Cons? It's hardly far-fetched to believe Pinky was indicted but put on a leash and sent back inside the junta to gather evidence. Anything to keep his bottom out of jail. http://www.light-to-dark.com/fitzs_dominoes.html

I wonder how they got the smell of sulfur and brimstone out of the church? They must have one heck of a cleaning crew.

That's why they burn incence in high churches -- to cover up the stink.

This story is bull. Rove was not fired. He left with one pocket full of White House dirt and the other pocket full of our money. Because Rove was doing a heck of job. Besides if you look where we are at since 2000 you'll see that Rove is really nothing more than a moron. He's to blame along with Cheney and G.W Bush. Oh wait. It's Bill Clintons fault. Isnt that right Ann Coulters?

You mean Carl actually attends church even occasionally?

Bush actually got the spine and accompaniment to fire someone? Another sign of the impending Apocalypse.

[Meggie]

STILL a coward!!!

I didn't think a demon could fire a demon.

The real story: It was just the opposite.

Bush is Rove's client:

Rove: Bushie baby, sorry but I'm gonna have to let you go.

Bush: Oh yea, why is that?

Rove: You're even starting to damage my reputation.

Bush: But Rove, we're in the house of our Father above.

Rove: Above? I thought we were working for the other Father, the one down below.

Bush: How can that be?

Rove: All the things you did; it was obvious which Father.

Bush: Forget about it. You're fired.

Makes perfect sense ...
the idiot can then say his famous line "God spoke to me and told me to do it."
What a complete clown.

I thought the Church of Satan was in NYC not Washington,DC.
What church could they have attended?
