Flip-Flop Bush... Fire Karl.
George Bush loves to talk about being straightforward and honest. A man of his word. Well, if he wants to keep the promises his administration made, then he needs to fire Karl Rove and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law.
The promise made by young Scotty McLellan from the White House podium and even by Bush himself couldn't be more clear:
The promise made by young Scotty McLellan from the White House podium and even by Bush himself couldn't be more clear:
In 2003, McClellan said it was "a ridiculous suggestion" that Rove was involved. "I've made it very clear, he was not involved, that there's no truth to the suggestion that he was," he said. He also said that any culprit in the White House should be fired "at a minimum."Karl Rove leaked that Joe Wilson's wife was a CIA agent. The end. Joe Wilson has exactly one wife. It's not like it's some kind of mystery. So, will Bush keep his word and fire Rove, or his he just another political opportunist who goes back on his word... flip-flops, even?
At one point, McClellan vowed: "The president has set high standards, the highest of standards, for people in his administration. He's made it very clear to people in his administration that he expects them to adhere to the highest standards of conduct. If anyone in this administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this administration."
Bush replied "yes" when asked in June 2004 if he would fire anyone who leaked the agent's name.
