Republican members of Congress are avoiding Rove like the plague
by John in DC - 7/13/2005 06:35:00 PM
Republican Leader Bill Frist doesn’t defend Rove. "It's very interesting
that amid these Democratic attacks, though, Senate Majority Leader Bill
Frist, the Republican leader, told me today that he will not comment.
He's not rising to Karl Rove's defense and he's not attacking him either.
You would expect the Republican leader to be stepping up and defending
the White House at this moment, but Frist says he does not know enough
about the grand jury investigation." – [Ed Henry, CNN, July 12, 2005]
House Government Reform Committee Chairman declined to say Rove shouldn’t
resign. “House Government Reform Committee Chairman Tom Davis (R-Va.)
said he was reviewing a letter sent to him Monday by Rep. Henry Waxman
(D-Calif.) asking for a hearing into the leaks. Davis declined to say if
he thinks Rove should resign.” [The Hill, July 13, 2005 ]
Senators Warner and McCain decline to comment. “Senate Armed Services
Committee Chairman John Warner (R-Va.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
both declined to comment.” [The Hill, July 13, 2005]
Rep. Steve Buyer says he hasn’t even heard about the case. – “Rep. Steve
Buyer (R-Ind) said that he was in Germany during last week’s
congressional recess and had not heard about the case.” [The Hill, July
13, 2005]
Senator Chuck Hagel won’t respond. Several lawmakers said they do not
know enough about the facts of the case to respond. Hagel: “That’s up to
the president and Karl Rove.” [The Hill, July 13, 2005]
Senator Mike DeWine waits to defend Rove. DeWine: “I think we ought to
just wait until all the facts are in….Let’s just wait and see what the
special prosecutor does.” [CNN, July 13, 2005]
Even the Conservative Bloggers Turn Against Rove
The Jawa Report: "[I]t's time for Rove to go. Last time I checked we were
in a f*cking shooting war and the last thing the Commander-in-Chief needs
is a low-life political opportunist in his inner circle."
Decision '08's "teetering" Mark Coffey: "I'm not quite ready to call for
his resignation; it's still a little early... but I'm starting to lean
that way. Could anything make me lean back? I think it's time for Rove to
issue a statement to the press..."
Vodkapundit's Stephen Green: "Even if Rove didn't give out Valerie
Plame's name (which appears, for now, to be the case), it also looks like
he pointed a pretty bold arrow her way. That kind of leak is breaking the
rules, and that's a bad thing. Now, as I understand the law regarding
intelligence officers, Karl Rove didn't do anything illegal. But was he
right to leak? ... My gut tells me no..."

That's funny - I'm sure that Frist saw Rove on video tape for at least
a few minutes.

Doesn't that describe himself, Rove, Bush, and many Repugnicans?
