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.

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?

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.

This is so funny; they want Rove fired because he told the truth?
