Where is the Kristol who once made well-reasoned arguments for his positions? Hanging the blame for Bush’s current low approval numbers on the failed Social Security reform effort is plain nonsense. He makes a good point about Bush needing to explain his position on Iraq, but isn’t it Rove’s job to make sure Bush does just that? If Rove is unable to handle something as basic as PR, what makes Kristol think that he can still turn things around? Bush’s golden goose has become an albatross.

And here I thought it was Howard Dean and his ilk that were polarizing the country. I feel so enlightened now.

Oh, make no mistake. Dean has turned into a partisan hack too. But that fact doesn’t negate Kristol’s “super-hack” status.

Whether or not he has committed any crime the egregiously slimy tactics he has consistently used since the days of Bush’s governorship are an assault on the morality of this nation.

It never ceases to amaze me that the party of “traditional values” seems to think the list of values should include lies, slander, graft, and any other dirty trick that gets them their way.

Rove as no constitutional right to his white house position. He should be fired with or without a crime being charged. He’s a PR liability now — his usefulness has been exhausted. “Innocent until proven guilty. Why would you want something less for Rove?” I would agree if we were talking about a criminal trial, but it’s a job and in the political job-world preception in reality. He should be asked to resign with written letter of apology. This White House, though, is arrogant and belligerent, so this will never happen. Liberals don’t like and conservatives don’t like him, either.

Should Bush Fire Rove?

Not unless he is charged with a crime. If he is charged with a crime then he should have him resign.

I don’t think that Rove should be fired because Democrats don’t like him…. and I think that our Constitution applies to Rove just as much as it does to you…. Innocent until proven guilty. Why would you want something less for Rove?
