Rove planning to ‘name names’ of Bush haters in his new book
Karl Rove is reportedly one of the key architects overseeing the “Bush legacy project,” predicting that the President will be remembered as a “far-sighted leader.” In a new interview with Cox News, Rove rails against all the people in America who never “accepted the legitimacy of George W. Bush,” saying that he plans to call them out in his new book:

Rove sees a presidency clouded by the way it began.

“There were people who never accepted the legitimacy of George W. Bush and acted accordingly,” he said. <…>

Also reserved for between the covers of Rove’s book is his checklist of the “great many of the political actors in this town (who) never accepted him as a legitimate president.”

“I’ve got behind-the-scenes episodes that are going to show how unreceiving they were of this man as president of the United States,” Rove said, adding: “I’m going to name names and show examples.”

In the Cox interview, Rove also refused to acknowledge the role of Bush administration officials in various scandals, including the Valerie Plame, instead blaming “Washington partisanship.”http://thinkprogress.org/2008/12/07/rove-haters/

I hope this "Lard ass" spelled my name correctly; I take pride in being a Bush hater

3. I wonder how many volumes this book will span.
Listing around 240 million names is going to take quite a few pages. The international edition will be even bigger, if all 6.5 billion or so names are included.

37. It's called "sociopathic hubris".
Bear in mind that the crap he does has ALWAYS WORKED FOR HIM.
So why, from his viewpoint, should he ever reconsider what he's doing?

6. He'll have to focus instead, on the handful of people
he can come up with, who DON'T hate Bush*.... Even publishers have a printing limit, after all.

9. You beat me to it.
Wouldn't it be easier for Rove to list out the names of those who admired and believed in Bush? Once he gets past the family, Condi and Cheney (who probably doesn't like anyone) it would only take a few lines and he could move onto another project.

Why is he writing a book anyway? No one will buy it.

15. Yes, I hope he gets my name spelled correctely too.
Rove and the Repubs thought they could "create" their own reality, but that only worked for a very short time. Reality has a way of biting you in the butt every time.

He had better include the unlisted and cell phone numbers if it is to be a comprehensive list.

if Regnery buys out all the contracts for public school texts ...

never accepted Shrub as a legitimate president. Unfortunately, far too many people, particularly among the DC establishment and the media, fall into one of those three categories, particularly the first two.

He'd be better off writing one about Bush supporters.

That should fill a pamphlet very nicely and won't kill off a forest full of trees.

33. “There were people who never accepted the legitimacy of George W. Bush and acted accordingly,”
That's because he WAS illegitimate. You guys were the ones that wouldn't accept it. Geeze!

Oh, BTW Karl, great work with your "let's appeal to the base with scariness" presidential campaign. Too bad all the early polling showed that Independents were looking for a candidate who could bring Americans together. That is what you get for living in Rove Land.
