Karl Rove May Be Leaving The White House In ‘Weeks, Not Months’
Karl Rove's days as President Bush's brain may soon be over. His partisan style may have fueled the backlash against Republicans in the midterm elections, and the White House may have to ditch him in order to get Democrats to play ball with them.
When Republicans selected Trent Lott to be their #2 man in the Senate, it was a clear rejection of the White House's intentions of keeping Lott out of the public light following racist remarks he made a few years ago at Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday party. Lott will now likely work to push Rove out of the White House.
Another person pushing for Rove's removal is Harriet Miers, President Bush's longtime personal attorney (and he has needed plenty of legal help through the years) whose Supreme Court nomination was rejected even though Republicans controlled Congress at the time. Miers would have been one of the least qualified Supreme Court justices ever, with most of her legal experience coming from getting Bush out of DWI's. But apparently it was Karl Rove's fault she didn't get confirmed.
Karl Rove is a cancer on society and his removal will make this country a better place, even though the reasons for kicking him out are not justified. Trent Lott should not even be a Senator, let alone #2 GOP man in the Senate. Harriet Miers needs to stick to covering up her client's coke possession charges.
