Democrats demanded yesterday that President Bush fire Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove and that the White House fully account for Vice President Cheney's role in the unmasking of CIA operative Valerie Plame, as Republicans acted to limit the political damage from Friday's indictment of Cheney's chief of staff.
Using the forum of the Sunday television talk shows, Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (Nev.) and other Democrats sought to portray the indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby on Friday as part of a broader pattern of unethical -- if not illegal -- conduct by the administration. Republicans, while not defending Libby, asserted that the lack of other indictments indicated there was no conspiracy in the White House to punish an administration critic by identifying his wife as a CIA operative.
Reid, speaking on ABC's "This Week," called for apologies from Bush and Cheney, and sought Rove's resignation because of Bush's vow to dismiss anybody involved in the leak. Later, on CNN's "Late Edition," Reid repeated his call for Rove's dismissal four times.
"The president said anyone involved would be gone," Reid said. "And we now know that Official A is Karl Rove. He's still around. He should be let go." Reid added that if Bush "is a man of his word, Rove should be history."...

As long as we're offering non-sequitir punishments, I demand Reid resign to make up for Sandy Berger's document theft.
Fire Rove? Nah, I don't think we'll be doin' that. (As if the Dems would EVER have their leaders resign...)
WTF else is new? They have been doing this for years. Just like Republicans have been calling for Hillary to resign from the senate and answer to what she knows about Vince Foster...one request has legitimate merit...one does not.
Democrats= "Stuck on Stupid!"
I think Reid should be investigated for funneling money to his relatives in Nevada. Don't exactly remember the details but it sounded quite shady.
Offer them cheese to go with their whine. They're cheese-loving francophiles, philosophically speaking, are they not?
If you have "demand" in one hand and a steaming pile in the other....
The dems are just getting ridiculouser and ridiculouser. Fun to see!
Moonbat Heads Explode Again. Film at 11.
BUT BUT
Fitz made it a point to say she wasn't unmasked
The dems were hoping that Rove would be indicted. When that didn't happen it burst their little balloon and now the bed wetters want Rove to resign. Yeh...right!!!......Bwaaaaahaaaaahaaaaahaaaaa!!
The RATs can stick up their arse!

Dimmies take his hand...
Don't fear the Reaper!
C'mon and kill all your babies
Don't fear the Reaper!
Don't even try to under...stand!
Caaa CaCa Ca Ca..."

Hey Dingy Harry, Rove wasn't indicted for anything so kindly go play in traffic. Your party is full of socialistic crybabies. We intend to see you cry a lot more.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARFFF!!!!
Hopefully, a few of the people that sit on the middle of the fence that only pay attention during elections will notice the stupidity of the DUmbocrats and RUN AWAY... RUN AWAY!!
This is so funny; they want Rove fired because he told the truth?
Let's fire Harry Reid!
Yo DemonCraps! Go take a flying freak at a rolling donut!
