Rove: 'No One' in Bush Camp Worked With Swift Boat Vets
faux fart


ROVE: Well, first, no one in the Bush campaign has coordinated with the swift boat veterans. Ben Ginsberg, as you said, was our outside counsel and also outside counsel to the 527 group. That's normal. The legal counsel for the Kerry campaign is counsel to 527 groups there. The DNC legal counsel is the legal counsel for MoveOn.org, as well. They're fulfilling a legal function, not a political -- they're not political consultants. But Ben Ginsberg, who's a great friend of this president and has been with him since he began to run for president in 1999, did -- was -- resigned from the Bush campaign in order to remove any possibility of being a distraction to his friend. He wants to see the president reelected. He knows that there's a hypocritical double standard on the part of some in the media, where a lawyer for the Bush campaign who is also the lawyer for a 527 is somehow suspect, where a lawyer for the Kerry campaign and the Democratic National Committee, who's also a lawyer for a 527 group is not. And he accepted that reality and decided he wanted to help his friend. And the best way he could help his friend was to resign.

Last bit of interview:

HUME: And finally, would you lie you ass off to protect yourself and George Bush?

ROVE: Of course I would.

43. Rove, Rove? The same Rove going to party hosted by SBV $$ man?
That Rove? :evilgrin:
Dalla News, yeah you gotta register

<snip> Houston home builder Bob Perry, a key bankroller for Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, is listed as the co-host of a New York City fund-raiser next week for the Harris County GOP, whose guest list includes President Bush's top political adviser.

<snip> Mr. Perry, who has given $200,000 to the veterans' group to help launch the anti-John Kerry ads that question the Democrat's Vietnam War record, has denied any links to Mr. Bush or the national Republican Party regarding the Swift Boat Veterans' campaign.

<snip> Invitations to the Harris County reception and fund-raiser Sept. 1 at Tavern on the Green name Mr. Perry as an event sponsor, and those on the invitation list include former President George Bush, presidential adviser Karl Rove and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.

/// Probably just a weird coincidence the SBV big spender invited Rove?

Bush is through everyone out to the dogs. I guess Scotty wasn't working. I can hear the Boy King now:

10. Rove ment "Everyone from the Bush campaign work with the Swift boat vets."
The repukes at work agree Kerry likely deserved his medels. They just love the spin and smear because they are thourghly convinced that Social Darwinism is good.

I wonder waht Christ would have to say about that? But the problem is, these Repukes at work don't care about Christ or religion. They are pure animals of self seeking interest. Brain washed animals of self seeking interest.

by the way, did they ask Karl about O'Neill's Nixon tape? Maybe Karl had some first hand info, since he was in the dirty tricks operation along with O'Neill.

18. Uh...as I understand it, no one in Kerry's campaign asked Ginsberg....
to resign. The Bushies were just embarrassed at being caught in a lie, and forced Ben to resign. Where's the double standard?

19. This reminds me of the Cyclops in The Odyssey.

Remember when Ulysses told the Cyclops that his name was "Nobody." Then when Ulysses ran a spike through the Cyclope's one eye, the monster ran out of the cave screaming....

"Help!!! Nobody has blinded me!"

29. Well, snark away, but is it true or not???
I see a lot of snarky comments here, but does anyone know if this is a lie or not? Is the DNC's legal counsel also the counsel for MoveOn.Org? And if so, why SHOULD Ginsberg have resigned if the DNC's guy doesn't?

48. There is no reason
for someone working with a 527 to resign if he's working with the DNC. As long as they don't work for the KERRY CAMPAIGN, it's okay. There is no part of the law that says they can't work for both entities, it's only when the actual campaign committee is involved.

,...per the "caa caa" that you have smeared all over everyone else for your anti-social, complete self-centered and totally unconscienable existence. You, Rove, are a horror of humanity,...the absolute most repulsive of our potential,...and I certainly do believe that you will get exactly what you deserve.

for questioning his service to America," is way too verbose for Rove! Instead we get more of the same dirty tricks AGAIN...DENY DENY DENY, POINT THE FINGER, DIVERT THE TRUTH, NO RESPONSIBILITY, MAKE NO APOLOGY ADMINISTRATION!
