Lott throws Rove under the bus

Lott Attacks Rove, Says ‘I’ve Had Problems With Some Of His Conduct’

Earlier this month, rumors began swirling that Karl Rove may soon leave the White House, in part because he and incoming Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott (R-MS) have failed to get along. The New York Times then reported that Rove would be staying on, but claimed the White House was compensating for his “limited influence in Congress.”

In an interview this morning on Fox News, Lott intensified the growing discord between he and Rove, stating, “I’ve had problems with some of the conduct of Karl Rove.” He added that he has a good relationship with “most of the people” around the President.

Yup, and this is the same comment that Hastert said about former Chief of Staff, Andrew Card. Guess we know why Card left the WH and was replaced by Josh Bolten.

I remember when Lott made the comment about he wish the Thruman had won the Presidentecy so the South could raise again and all this wouldn't be taken place. Yes Karl was loud about getting Lott out so now it's Lott's turn. Karl Rove has made alot of enemies and their giving pay back. That's the price you pay with these crooks.
