The Democrats Can't Win by Default
How Much Did Bush's Photo-op In Iraq Cost the Taxpayers? Ah. what's a few million when we've already spent well over $300 billion dollars of OUR tax dollars on Bush's bloody folly?

There's a connection between Bush's craven Green Zone Iraqi photo-op and the news that Karl Rove won't be indicted.

Here it is.

Rove's purpose is to get through each election cycle by sweeping under the rug any bad news that might swing the election to the Democrats (not counting the votes that the Republicans suppress or steal). As the publication Editor and Publisher pointed out, the media -- including the New York Times, the Washington Post and Time Magazine -- knew about Rove's role in PlameGate, but protected him under the guise of "journalistic principles" through the 2004 election.

If Rove had been fingered prior to the 2004 elections, Bush probably wouldn't have been able to even steal it.

cont'd...

1. Between AF1 and security/staff costs, my estimate was $250k.
But yeah, that five-hour photo op costing several million doesn't really surprise me much.

The party of fiscal responsibility.
