Rove, the so-called genius, uses the word "milking"
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20346718/

Rove disputed any suggestion that the president is a lame duck.

"He is a bold leader who's going to be milking every single moment that he's got in this office," Rove said. "He came here to do things, and he's going to keep doing things right up to the moment that he leaves on January 20th, 2009."

From Merriam-Webster online:

Main Entry: milk
Function: verb
transitive verb
1 a (1) : to draw milk from the breasts or udder of (2) obsolete : SUCKLE 2 b : to draw (milk) from the breast or udder c : SUCKLE 1 -- used of domestic animals
2 : to draw something from as if by milking: as a : to induce (a snake) to eject venom b : to draw or coerce profit or advantage from illicitly or to an extreme degree : EXPLOIT <milk the joke for all it's worth>
intransitive verb : to draw or yield milk

===
Yes, this cabal certainly knows how to exploit.

Freudian slip???

6. He's right.
Bush has been exploiting every single moment that he's got in this office.

Rove's going to help him from the outside.

7. Bush' legacy is Rove's legacy and he'll do anything, anything to redeem *. I also expect
that he'll attach himself to Romney or some other semi-useless, slightly-floundering repug candidate in an attempt to redeem himself and secure his "king-maker" mantle.

He'll start attacking Hil the most, because he wants her as the candidate.

10. Rove is no genius.
There is no way Rove is a genius. He, along with his posse, have stupidly left remnants of their 'genius' all over every operation they attempted. If they were geniuses, we wouldn't know that they illegally stole the elections, we wouldn't know they illegally abused the Hatch Act to control the GOP, we wouldn't know they were illegally spying, torturing, manipulating, etc. etc.

If anything, they are the "Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight" and are nothing but idiots. The only thing keeping them from jail right now is they are claiming Executive Privilege for EVERYTHING they have done. Because they know they're screwed when the stuff comes out....and it will.

Rove is not a genius...he is a conniver, pure and simple.
