That's the title of an article by the AP. It mostly seems to be hit piece by the AP. Of course, the Democrats think Rove should resign. He's masterminded two elections that have been pretty devastating to the Democrats. Since they can't beat him in elections about all they can do is call for his resignation. From the 4th paragraph:
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said he is disappointed that Bush and Cheney responded to the indictment by lauding Libby and suggested they should apologize for the leak that revealed the identity of covert CIA officer Valerie Plame.
He's complaining that Cheney showed some loyalty and appreciation to a man that's worked for him for years? A man who hasn't been convicted of a crime? A man who isn't even charged with revealing the identity of Plame? I have to admit I'm a little confused by the fact that Libby has been charged with lying about a crime he's not been charged with. Is Libby really that stupid?
Here's another great quote from the Democratic Party, er, Associated Press:
Public opinion appears to be running against Bush. Almost half the public, 46 percent, say the level of ethics and honesty in the federal government has fallen with Bush as president, according to an ABC News-Washington Post poll. That's three times the number who say ethics and honesty have risen during that time.
Which is a fancy way of saying 54 percent think that the level of ethics and honesty are the same or higher with Bush as president.
Finally 13 paragraphs in we get a quote from Arlen Specter mentioning that Rove hasn't been charged with a crime and this is politically motivated. Geez. The article closes with my favorite quote of all. From Chuck Schumer...
"The real question for President Bush is going to be: is he going to be like Nixon — hunker down, get into the bunker, admit no mistakes," Schumer said, "or like Reagan, who actually admitted mistakes, did a midcourse correction and brought in new people, bipartisan people, people above ethical reproach, into the White House."
Bipartisan. The Democrats can't actually get anyone elected right now so they want Bush to appoint a few "bipartisan people". Heh! Nice.
