Rove is THE MAN: Liar, liar, pants on fire

Karl Rove rejected a compromise with Senate Democrats Monday on long-stalled nominations for the federal judiciary and strongly defended President Bush's choice of John Bolton to be ambassador to the United Nations.

's ok with me... the more rove publicly opens his yap and the more visibility he gets, the more people can see just how much power he holds over the entire republican party... my prediction: if rove were to be run over by a bus tonight, the r's would be in total disarray tomorrow...

(Update: But wait, there's MORE...!)

Rove's point: The president has already compromised. "Rove said Bush tried to end the stalemate when he renominated just seven of the 10 nominees who had been blocked last year," USAToday reports. Those obstructionist Democrats didn't reciprocate. "I saw no change in tone," Rove said. "The flamethrowers ... came out within moments."

It's a nice story Rove tells about the president's attempt to make peace with the Democrats; it's just not exactly true. When the White House announced in December that Bush would re-nominate the seven judges, White House officials told the New York Times that Bush had offered all of the stalled judges the chance to be re-nominated. Two of them, Carolyn Kuhl and Claude Allen, declined. A third, Charles Pickering, who Bush had placed on the Fifth Circuit through a recess appointment, chose to retire rather than seek Senate confirmation again.

i repeat the point i made earlier, the more rove speaks up, the more likely it is that he'll be caught out in his complete lack of scruples in doing and saying ANYTHING to accomplish his (and i say "his" because i do believe it is more rove's than bush's) agenda... joseph wilson has been quoted twice now saying that he thinks rove oughta be "frogmarched" outta the white house... personally, i think ambassador wilson is being too kind...
