1. He's Rove's "Shark Attack!" story...

It's October. Nobody's swimming, and seems the sharks aren't in-shore this year.

So, Rove needs something else in the press to get our minds off of "Traitor-gate"...

All you can say about Gush, one fact remains. He IS a big fooball fan, so the concept of "taking one for The TEAM" is not foriegn to him.

They'll make it up to him, just like they promised Issa out in CA.....

7. So Rove

asked Limbaugh to make stupid comments on ESPN, planted the drug story in the National Enquirer, paid off the maind to make the allegations and forced the prosecuter in investigate the Limbaugh how exactly?

None of this has anything to do with Rove.

8. OK, so Poppy's behind it..

Oh, I forgot. Poppy likes to solve his "problems" with a Remmington....

Don't misunderestimate these jerks. They need a Fall Guy, and Rush steps up. as Gandalf said "His arm has indeed grown long..."

This Bush Bunch, when you say "S'Yeah, like they're capable of making that happen?", remember that they do that kind of shit with their eyes closed.

3. Rush can't stand being on record.

Becuase his words can be used against him; he perfers the free reign of AM radio format to prove that he's bigoted idiot on a daily basis rather than once a week.

9. They didn't bargain for the entire sports community to

go ballistic Monday in all the sports columns and talk shows. They couldn't care less if they offended me or the black players. But when their entire business says they were wrong...
