CNN

I'm gonna give the slick talking liberal the same chaance that GWB got... zero. Anyone want ot buy a Seante seat? Liberals are stupid.

I cant believe there is going to be a book as thick as an encyclopedia.

Is it going to be a comedy? I'm confused, because surely no one takes him seriously anymore.

I never drank the Kool Aid and I'm not starting now!
Go away already, preferably back to Hell where you came from!!!

No matter how you feel about O.J., if he got 15 or more years for is Nevada actions then shouldn't he 3,000 years for all of his crap!!!

Turd Blossom is a douchebag! I hope my name is in there. Burn in Hell!

I truly don't understand what Rove is trying to do hear. With Bush's record low approval ratings naming names will only help the political careers of his opponents.

A last, desperate attempt to salvage some shred of respect for Bush's legacy. Trying to recast the worst president in American history won't be that easy Rove. You and Bush brought the American dream to its knees and it may never recover. That's his legacy, and it's yours as well.

Any of you actually defending Rove, Bush or Cheney amaze me. You're calling us whiners at a time like this? Whining? Really? How about down right OUTRAGED!!! Yeah.. that's more like it. What is wrong with you people.

Joe Band – history will look at Bush as the best President ever? Are you freaking kidding me? The reason other Presidents have been able to have their histories, legacies re-written, is because there was nothing like the Internet around back then.

Guess what? History can't be rewritten this time. Forever there will be the truth out there... year by year...starting with the stealing of the election in 2000.

Joe and others like you – pull your flippin' head out! Dumb is as Dumb does...Wow! That's all I can say is Wow!

I'd be careful pointing fingers about drug use. Here we go again. Why not have Rove write a book? Everyone else has.
And btw, I bet Al Gore is glad President Bush (according to many of you) "stole" the election. He wouldn't have been able to make millions on global warming if he was president.
Better go and turn the heat up. I'm freezing!

Re: Rowe's "'outing" certain of washington establishmnet.
The reason Bush was not accepted as presidential material was because of the way he presented himself and by his actions and paranoia. George Bush was a president in title only, a fool diguised as one. The fact that he was voted in a second time is
proof enough that he had his chance in spite of local opinion, but did little to nothing to justify himself. It appears the Rowe is writing the encyclopedia of those with common sense during an abominable administraton.

This is news!

Don't forget me, Rove:
Heather Dammann.

You spell my name wrong and I will drag you back to TX myself.

I think that there are many whom would like to be on that List.
He may just be doing them a favor.

But who cares.
Rove is just trying to build up momentum for his book, it's all about the benjamins baby!

Name names, eh? I'm shaking in my non-Texan boots! That's about as much a threat that he'll talk harshly to those bad men. Bring it on, you conniving SOB!!!

We need a swarm of at least 200 patriots doing a citizens arrest Rove, since the gutless Congress can't do their job for his crime of contempt.

Karl who? Who cares what he has to say?

This is the alert matrix for terrorism threat used in German, France and by the liberals.

1) run
2) hide
3) surrender
4) collaborate

Gotta love that democratic congress. 7% approval rating, lol thats worse then bushkin.

The US would have been better off if they all would have stayed in Texas.

How typical of Karl Rove to attack-attack-attack as his best defense. Bush and his mob were not criticized because they were Washington outsiders, as Rove claims, but because they were blind, arrogant fools who stampeded this country into war in Iraq. For his part in that stampede, Rove should be clapped behind bars. As far as Bush being "dissed" as commander-in-chief from the git-go, I would it were so. Actually, he had too much credibility from the press and the public for far too long. His premise for invading Iraq was an obvious lie, and more of us should have stood up to it.

IT BETTER BE A REAL BIG BOOK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any idea when this book will be out?

Karl Rove, innocent outsider. Change agent, really.

He's not part of the Washington Establishment or a back-scratching politico. He'd never resort to dirty tricks, power-brokering and questionable ethics to gain influence.

He's just an honest little guy.

Like Lee Atwater.

That's going to be one big list Karl. But thanks for outing the silent heros for us. We already know who the supportive criminal conspirasts are.

Mr. Rove, how does it feel to be a part of the worst presidency in U.S. history??Why don't you write a book about that?

If he were really concerned in naming these people then why would he make into a book instead of just saying it (money)? That and who cares.

Rove and Bush deserve all the negative attention that they get. The "boys" from Texas spent eight years bringing this country to our knees and they regret , nor take any blame for any of it. Rove can speak out about all the enemies of Bush that he wants to but the cold hard fact is that there is not enough paper to really make that list. Thank God that we have only until Jan. 20 left until this Bush "regime" is finally gone forever!! Miracles still happen

Rovey your enemies are my friends

My Christmas wish is that Carl Rove would just go away.

America, don't buy books from crooks.

Rove is delusional, and sold his soul long ago, if he ever had one.

Accountability: Like I said before, if W has never touched the budget or sign any policies into law,then yes, the failures and flaws of these past 8 years, do TRULY belong to Clinton. Yu see, the minute you mess with policies or budget, a XX trillion dollar economy and every little piece of cracks BECOME YOURS, when you become Prez. So, if anybody wants to be Prez, better have THREE brains.

Maybe he could bash some more veterans while claiming an AWOL drug addict is a hero! He is good at that.
How about you tell us all what traitors Max Cleland and John Kerry and all the other Vietnam vets are. Max only lost 3 limbs, would he only be a patriot if he lost all four?

And who really cares?

I hope he names names, then I'll know whose hands I would like to shake and to whom to send donations for their next campaign.

Bush and Cheney have proven repeatedly that they have no caring for anyone but themselves and their own wallets and those of their friends, at the cost of thousands of lives.

He only got offered 1.5 milion because no one's going to buy his bologna! Yeah baby best comment so far!!!

tim, that's funny!

It's gonna be a pretty big book, considering the MILLIONS who despise Bush.

Why do we still have to hear from Rove and his lies. The bush administration and Rove received the criticisms simple because of the lies and because of their breaking and bending the law. He can name all the names he wants, maybe when he finally testifies before congress. Oh, I forgot, he's not going to, just another example of him breaking or ignoring laws. Rove should find a cave to crawl into and never be heard from again, or maybe a jail cell.

You are scum Mr. Rove. You and your cronies have innocent blood on your souls. Shame on the whole lot of you!

forget the book – goodness what's wrong with his hair? Didn't he steal, er, make enough money to not look like a 9-year old?

This is like Dr. Frankenstein blaming the villagers for the ugliness of his creation!! He thinks he still has credibility. Or, that he's relevant. What an idiotic ego!

Wow....that is simply unbelievable. This guy will do whatever it takes to stay relevant. Mr. Rove, America voted on November 4th, and clearly rejected you, and everything you stand for. So write your book if it makes you feel better, but being an angry texan "outsider" is a card that has been way over played. Bush failed, you failed, and the dynasty you tried to create will be judged by history as the worst administration ever.

Now get out of the way, and Let President Obama clean up your mess.

Jim in Fllorida December 8th, 2008 2:52 pm ET

Not only don't you know how to spell Florida but you also don't realize that the Chicago Tribune is a conservative paper, get your facts straight before spouting your mouth off.

Oh. My. God! He is going to 'name names'!!! We should all tremble... Maybe he might respond to a subpoena next without screaming Executive Privilage!

I gaurantee it will be a best-seller and the "left" will be upset over it.

What a shame, the "Architect" is going to "name, names".
Shall we send him a crying towel or shall we name a special prosecutor to investigate Mr. Roves' directives over the last 8 + years as he goes on the offensive to protect his legacy and rear-end?
America deserves to know just how disingenuous, immoral and illegal Roves' public service has been. He should be ashamed of himself.
He is part of the leadership that is responsible for the debacle of the Bush/Cheney administration and thus should be held responsible. This isn't rhetoric, the damages are tangible and real. I believe his legacy will be closer to "brilliant buffoon".

I have no pity for Karl Rove and his complaints about protesters. What he did was help to establish an evil entity in the world and to help him gain power enough to hold the entire planet hostage. There is no justification for that.

It will be interesting but it won't matter, the same corrupt, clueless, one-worlders who refused to let the Bush administration stamp out Islamic terrorists and created the lowest ratings in Congressional history (yes that would be the Dems after they took control) are now in charge and led by a Alinsky-trained socialist who lies even to his own supporters and is lining his cabinet with centrists to hide his inevitable implementation of socialism

Who cares Rove is the Dr. that created Frankingstein <== Modern day Bush....

Now that's funny right there!!! I don't care who you are. That's funny right there!!!

I guess everyone forgot that "W" dad called to ask Dear ole slimeball to take his son under his wing and teach him how to win election.. To start the slime rolling it was the Gov. race in Texas, when they slimed Ann Richards name into the ground to win the govenors race. Then to be relected by telling all that he wouldn't run for Prez. While Slimeball introduced "Boy George" to the Missouri Republicans in 1998 as the next POTUS, They all said "Who is this emply suit" Don't look now but Karl the slime ball has completely crashed this country. His "Hero" was mr. Deregulation himself Ronnie and the shinning house on the hill with out rules and only free traders.

Just watch Mel Martinzes drops his bid for reelection to make way for "Good GUY Jeb " to smooth over the past history of Geogie Boy disaster of 8 years of brain dead administration that this free trade was supposed to make America stronger/

Left wing fools Bambi? How much Kool-Aid have you been drinking from the GOP tap? It is abundantly clear that things have tumbled far down hill in the past 8 years, but I know you want to blame that on Clinton who left office at the turn of the Millennium (with a surplus, great economy and America still liked around the world I might add). Bush has acted like the international brat who threw a temper tantrum that called countries names like “Axis of Evil” and hollered “bring ‘em on” like daddies little cowboy. We invaded a country that did not attack us like a kid throwing his crayons at other kids because they were “bad”. He also allowed tortures and insults to other country’s intelligent abstinence from our foolish endeavors (remember freedom fries). We have moved away from the principles of America’s foundation and have become a house for daddies little spoiled child and it has brought us international scorn and less security (thus the international celebration when Obama won). God bless the day he leaves office in January.

Rove . . . when is Bush going to pardon you? Time is short!

Karl Rove the man widely credited with Bush's two presidential victories says his new book will include an accounting of those in Washington who never accepted the president as a legitimate commander-in-chief.

Well surprise Karl, could it be that they never accepted him because he was never elected the 1st time around but, had to be appointed by the Supreme Court judges appointed to their jobs by senior Bush.

Name those names because we should give them medals of courage.

Spit 'em up, Cowboy.

Is anyone trembling yet? Karl Rove is irrelevant. The sad thing is that he doesn't even realize how irrelevant he is. Poor Karl. Ooops.. I think I may have just made his list.

If your names in it, you will be traitor, liar, killer, leach, weasel, and if all goes well, Mud.

A transition team loaded with lobbyists....a cabinet loaded with entrenched Washington politicians...yep, change you can believe in.

KARL ROVE!!!!....What a JOKE!!! Guess he did NOT get the memo that the Republican party has been DEAD for YEARS!!!!!!!

He said he would name people who never looked at Bush as a "legitimate commander and chief"??????? How many people voted for Obama????? Over 65 million!!!!!!! That is going to be a very long list of names. Karl Rove, be quiet, go away and stop with the 15 minutes of fame crap before you end up lik O.J., a dummy who should have shut his mouth and left the country after getting away with murder...........literally!

Yeah... I have some choice "names" for Rove, too. ha

I am truly stunned at the defense of the last eight years that the conned-servatives are offering up. It is literally a litany of talking points, straw-man agruments, half-truths, and innuendo to collective stick their heads in the sand as to what really happened, while creating an alternative reality that boils down to three basic arguments regarding all "bad" things
1) it was Bill Clinton's fault
2) it was the 1-term Democratic congress' fault
3) (this is my favorite).. the DEMOCRATS did it TOO argument.
(as if that gives them cover up for screwing up NOW)... SIGH..

Somebody let Karl out of the Attic Again! Pleeeeeeez put him in a vault with an unknown code for his own safety, he can make his list in complete solitude with no distractions! Given the number and nature of these posts Saddam Hussein had more friends!

It's Amazing How In the Picture Rove is pointing his finger and 4 are pointing back at him, It is truely sad how we give idiots so much press time........You have that much time to waste, why not cover another Idiot.......soon OJ Simpson's Tell All Book " The Juice Got Juiced Everyday by Bubba In Prison"!!!!!!!! Or Rove does a Hair commercial about his Bald head slipping off pillows at night!!!!! Or This Idiot Bush in a Book " I Wonder If I tell One more Lie will anyone believe me?????

Is this a last attempt to make money before hiding back in TX? Is this what a Washington outsider does?? Please go home and turn off the lights, it's a new era in DC.

I ain't worried 'bout no Rove bestseller...

Most Bush-whacked-out confederates can't read no way...

Ever'body knows...

...anybody who's anybody hates Bush and Rove anyway...

The title of his book should be: Tales from the Dark Side.

This man is creepier than Darth Vader and the Emperor combined – God help us...

What is interesting about Rove is now you are seeing first hand what drove the Bush meanness and paranoia ... and unbelievable insecurity of non-acceptance by the establishment ... us against them in its worst form. This resulted in regressive decisions that have set this country back years in economic, diplomatic and humanistic terms.
Of course, no one will actually care what Karl has to say as it is always tainted with 'spin' of the most vile kind. You reap what you sow and their time has come. The shame is we all have to pay the price.

Karl Rove is the anti-Christ.

Add my name to the list, you jerk!

He would be better off saving paper and ink by naming the 4 people that like him. Come on!! It's cheaper. We are in a recession, right Rove?

I can't help but wonder if Rove actually believes his own garbage. I think the only reason this dirtbag hasn't been brought up on charges is because where this side of Hell would they find a jury of his peers.

This country and its citizens should boycott and not buy this book as it rewards one of the meanest, most cowardly individuals to ever enter the American polical scene.

Don't buy the book and let the publisher eat the losses. That way they will stop publishing "tell all" books from ex-Washington insiders.

Karl, go tell it to Hannity nobody here wants to hear it!!

I should write a book about one of the most hated Americans ever,Carl Rove.You never hear any MSM reporters with any guts,come out and say just how much hate there is out here for these crooks.

Make sure to add my name to the book, Karl.

Obviously there was a lot of opposition to Bush being president. This man was never qualified to be president (I wouldn't trust him running a gas station!) so I'm completely not suprised to learn that Bush and his administration we not recieved well in Washington. Rove naming names will only show how much people really were not comfortable with this guy and it still shocks me that the American people voted this obviously incompetent President not once but twice! Let Bush, Rove, and all their counterparts say what they want, but the fact remains. George Bush was a complete disaster.

Who's whining now? As usual, a Republican administration leaves us with a big mess; and Karl and his cohorts will try to place the blame for the consequences of their policies on the dissenters and the new President. And now, the Republicans are angry? I don't believe that those who voted to re-elect Bush to a second term have any reason or right to be angry at anyone except for themselves and the GOP.

I thought we got rid of all the Nazi's in WWII. Guess not. And he still won't go away.

Rove said: "I was one of those Texans who came up."

He was born in Denver, CO and raised in Sparks, NV! He ain't no Texan!

Oh nooooooooooo! Not name naming!

He says that like it's a bad thing!

You can add me, too, baby.

great now we can throw a parade for these decent intelligent people. Why would you buy this criminals book he should be given a prison sentance not a publishing deal.
GW Bush is the worst president in the US history followed only closely by his dad.

Newsflash: Rove is pissed that his boy W's legacy....aka, his.... is ruined. Guess what Rove.....it is. Go home. Get a real job. No one whats to listen to your stupid thoughts.

Give him a cigarette, a blindfold, and let the squad do their duty to deal with this Traitor who put politics above security in naming a CIA agent to Matt Cooper of Time, and other reporters. Karl Rove is a traitor and needs to be prosecuted like one.

I want my name to be on page one.

PLEASE add my name ASAP! I was too young to be on Nixon's enemies list.

Impeach Clinton...opps I mean Obama, well I guess they are sorta the same

Plz tell name, be a true American and tell what these criminals did to the American people, the War Crimes, the torture all done in the American peoples name!

The man is oblivious to reality. Please go away Karl. Go visit Sarah in Alaska..........PLEEEEASE

Stupid Conservatives. You must be an idiot to think that Bush will be recognized as a great president. Shows how out-of-touch the rethuglican party really is

Mr. Rove,

Name your names and then go away.

Sincerely,

The People

That's great that he'll name names of people who did not accept Bush. Now I'll know who to vote for and support.

I can't wait for this book! It'll be a hilarious read. At least Rove is embracing the American spirit of "Make as much money as humanly possible.". Yay, capitalism!

Ah, no, it is he lies every chance he gets and no one would believe him if he said the sky was "blue."

I do hope Joe Band was kidding when he said George will go down as one of our greatest Presidents. If not, what a MORON!! And as far as Rove goes, he's a slimey piece.

Bill December 8th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

"Bush was NEVER my President!"
-------------------------------
But I am sure you are critical of those that say Obama is not theirs.

1.5 mil? I wouldn't read hisdribble if you gave me the $$$.
I would be happy to use it in the bathroom though

Add my name to the list please

"his new book will include an accounting of those in Washington who never accepted the president as a legitimate commander-in-chief."

Those people he named should be called heroes. Along with anyone who tries to do a citizen arrest when Rove does his book signing tour.

I'd like to hear Karl talk about Jeffrey Gannon. I'd also like to know why Bush calls Rove "Turd Blossom".

President Bush approval rating is 20% and I guess the others are Enemies of President Bush, right Karl?

Jim in Forida,

You referred to the Chicago Tribune as a liberal rag. That is not the case, it seldom backs democrats for president. At any rate, if it was liberal, it would be selling out every edition and would not be in financial trouble.

I consider Karl Rove to be the most partisan person in contemporary politics. He acted viciously, vindictively, and vulgarly during his time with the Bush administration and except for Vice President Chaney, who challenges Machiavelli himself in sheer evil, Karl Rove will forever be known as a ruthless political hack who advanced one of the most excclusionary, oppressive, insensitive and illegal regimes in American history.
Just as with the perpratrators of the Watergate scandal, I will not contribute one dime to Rove so I won't be buying any book he rights. I listened to his lies while he was Bush's top propaganda master and can't imagine willingly paying for more of the same. Mr. Rove, please fade into the woodwork or immigrate to a country with the type of goverment you tried to inflict on the United States– North Korea, Sudan, might work out for you.

This is going to be a very long list of those of us who never accepted Bush's presidencies as legitimate. The book would probably be only
two pages long of those who did – one being the title page.
Surprise! I'll bet Bill Clinton's name is on the top. Republicans love to blame him for everything – even their hangnails.
Doesn't sound like very interesting reading – I'm yawning already.

Karl Rove knows his political career is doomed and he's attempting to take others down with him. When you sleep with dogs you always come up with fleas.

To the person from Ohio whose letter was deleted:
Why does it take your state so long to count votes?
Not enough fingers and toes in Ohio??

Bring it on blockhead! I'll chek out your book when it shows up on the shelf of my local dollar store next to all the other conservative writers.

No one really cares what Carl Rove thinks at this time. Moreover, history will speak loudly and clearly regarding G. W. Bush, his legitimacy, competence, legacy as well as his inept administration.

When will he and the Alaskan queen realize most thinking people don't care what they have to say!

Oh noooo he's going to name people that didn't like Bush. That will be a huge book then as he will have to place over 50 million people in it, and that will be the US publishing too.

Outsiders? Some of his staff have been in DC since the 60s.

I guess it's going to be a big book if it's going to contain the names of 80% of America's population. I think it might be easier to name the people who did support the worst president EVER.

Gosh Karl, that's what happens when you steal elections. Live with it.

In case you hadn't noticed, Karl, tens of millions of Americans and people the world over never accepted Bush's "legitimacy." What happened in Florida in 2000 will remain a dark stain on this country's history. And then you & Bush decided that a 500 vote "victory" was a mandate for radical change and cynically exploited the tragedy of Sept. 11th for political gain.

Go ahead and name names, we'll make sure to send them all thank-you notes.

I am going to name a name of a Washington insider who helped bring this country to its knees morally, ethically, economically and politcially. One who helped administer a misguided and misrepresented pro war agenda, drove business out of the United States, and allowed corporate corruption to run rampant at the expense, litterally, of the American people.

His name is Karl Rove...

Can't seem to find "Joe the Plumber's" book at my neighborhood bookstore yet so I guess I'll just have to wait for Rove's book. Or better yet maybe I'll just wait until the MOVIE comes out!

A book listing the names of everyone who thinks Bush is a moron, a liar and a traitor?

Whew!

That's going to be a mighty long book!

Note to Rove: You too are a traitor, a liar and a moron. Go back to Texas where you might still find some people who like you.

The stupidity of the comments to this story makes me fear for the future of our country. "Democracy is dependent upon an educated citizenry" Most of the replies are so steeped in hatred that they can't have facts destroy their attacks. Here's a thought....stop the diatribes and get all sides of a story. These are the same people who think that on Jan. 20th the world is going to change! They should get a life and make their own luck instead of wasting all this effort on hatred.

Add me to the list and call it out...I never accepted him as president either. So what...If Rove has a list of people who did not bow to his and Cheny and Bush...that seems to be an Honor Roll! Good for them. Can't wait till all the people in the Bush crowd are GONE!

How much is he gonna get paid to list the names of 72% of the US population?

Plug your book some more Karl, nobody cares.

Karl who?

A few months after John Ashcroft's book came out, I saw it for sale at the dollar store! I look forward to seeing Rove's there as well!

The whole bush disgrace maybe he will put enough information in the book so we can us it to charge and convict him and all of the rest of the bush regime with ... with misconduct in office and treason ..and put all of them in prison with no chance of parole....maybe them the rest of the world will start to forgive us for electing such a corrupt regim...good ridance on them all being gone ...I hope carl rowe and his group of henchmen crawl back into the hole they came out of...

Whoa. Rove is going to name people who thought Bush couldn't do the job? Turns out they were right.

Good for you...it's time someone stepped up and defended our President and his administration. The truth needs to be told. No one better than you, who seemed to be in the middle of everything. Can;t wait to read the book.

Why do people who are mean spirited become such sissies when the table is turned on them. Maybe Mr. Rove can go tell his mommie that he is being picked on.Possibly he and Rush could share some feel good drugs and commiserate together about their respective miseries.

Karl, you're part of the past, thank God and no one cares about you and Karen Hughes trying to rewrite history as we speak. The country has moved on and so should you. Your dirty tricks, lies and attempt to rewrite history by continuing to lie, along with Bush, are no longer relevant, again, thank God. Instead of working on Bush's legacy team, unbelievably before he leaves office, tell Bush to at least act like he's still President by trying to help solve our financial crisis. Oh, I forgot, Bush is the reason we're in this mess. Bush has never accepted responsibility for anything he ( and you) have ever done and never will so save your lies and "treats" for someone who cares. We don't. Bush is the worst President we have ever had and nothing you say or write will change those facts that speak for themselves! Why don't you actually serve your country Karl by enlisting in the service so you can learn what honor, duty and service to our country really means.

Once you become the president of United States, you have 4 years (or 8 years) to prove yourself and set up legacy. Unfortunately for Bush, he failed to have good results. No matter how you spin, historian only counts on the results and facts.

Those people who are going to buy that book are idiot and stupid like Karl Rove.

I totally agree with CA DEMOCRAT's comment

This is rediculous
this guy is a criminal
period
Newsweek Hires him, Fox Hires him, now he wrotes a "tell all name name" book about who did not "Accept" Bush, Rove and others in Washingtoin, and
Blames the scrutiny on him as part of this "Clique"

This is not High School Karl
and
you should be in jail- or at least on trial

But go ahead and shed more tiny finger-pointing tears, forgetting the LIVES you destroyed and the Constitution Bush and his team destroyed!

Impeach Bill Clinton, but give guys like ROVE more and more Money to tell their lies
Thanks American Media!
and
Thanks Americans who Support this kind of activity!

2manyLibs December 8th, 2008 4:01 pm ET

"As much as you want to blame Rove, Bush and anyone else, pull your head out and look at Dodd he is the one that got us in to this mess."

Are you kidding me? People that supported Bush and Company are purely in denial over many things still. So I guess that the Administrations inaction, mishandling, and outright neglect of our country will go down in history. While many things contributed to our current economy, its clear that no single person can be blamed on for our current affairs. But make no mistake, the buck still stops at the top.

"how unreceiving they were of this man as president of the United States". Well, that should amount to 3/4 of the White House which equates to about the 75% unappoval rating of the US population.

I want Rove's names so I can send them a "Thank You".

Karl Rove is going to name those who never accepted him or Bush? By the last accounting, done by the election, that is at least 53% of the population of the US. and even higher if you look at the current administration's favorability ratings. Since Karl is limiting the names to those in Washington, I guess that still means we have a book of nothing but names!

Nothing Karl Rove has to say interests me...he was the driving force behind the most incompetent president of the 20th/21st century. He championed the war with Iraq and helped sell America a bill of goods...I do have a question for him though..and all the other slime bags that have penned memoirs...is any of the $ you are making on this poison pen book going to help the injured soldiers and widows and their children?? After all....this is a war YOU believe in..so let's put our $ where our big fat mouths are.

Boy Rove....you been in too many meetings with Bush and Cheney. There's alot I could think about saying here but you've heard them all already so why bother.

There's a special place in hell for Rove and his fellow chicken hawks, Dubya, Rummie, Dick (aptly named), Feith and the rest. Brave with other people's blood.

Oh my God..... Enemies?? Who at this stage of the game could possibly care about enemies of George Bush?? Its really amazed me that more of Bush's staff hasnt resigned by now. Not sure what Karl Rove is going to do in the afterlife.... but it wont be of much use whatever it is...

@Joe.....how long has your brain been on vacation.....for maybe at least 4 years? You must be one of the 14% that approve of the job
our current President has done.

Ohhhhhh....I'm sooooooo scared!

Hey BAMBI, love the name, by the way...but just take a look at the consensus here. I think you are way outnumbered. It doens't take a left-wing ideology to figure out Bush, Cheney and Rove are idiots who just about ruined this country. Republicans finally see that truth as well.

What does it matter, we all know everyone elected to a job in the "Cesspool" is corrupt. If there not before they get there, the lobyists will make them so.

Now, we will hear that Mr. Rove is not. Give us a break.

This weasel's gonna write a tell-all? On who? Do pray tell!

So, I take it Rove will be naming the majority of United States citizens. Most people never accepted or respected Bush as a legitimite leader of this country. He remained, in my opinion, the President-select.

Oh no! Karl Rove is going to name those who never accepted Bush as a serious president. LOL !!! It's going to have to be a 1,500 page book!

Let my name be among them...I never accepted Bush as my President, either

Karl, please add my name to those you will be naming. Do you think there will be competition among law makers to get their names into Karl's book?

GREAT!!! Name names..like everyone of the crooks,liars and idiots in this administration.
Like G.W...Karl Rove..Deadly Dick...oh the list would be long.
Who cares who thought G.W.stole the election? Uh didn't he? Commander in Chief?? In name only.Except for the fact that he sent thousands of our brothers and sisters into harms way, let one of our oldest and most vital port cities drown and DIE,, same for an entire region...wow great

Thanks for the shape you left the American people and reputation in Dubya.

Karl shouldn't you be in jail somewhere?

Karl you can add me to your list of those "who never accepted the president as a legitimate commander-in-chief."!!! Bush has always been a big joke!!

Good, now we'll know who in Washington understood the truth of the matter–that George W. Bush did not legitimately win the presidency. It was handed to him by the Supreme Court. I can't wait to support whichever names he names.

Karl Rove is a traitor to this country for putting the corrupt greed of the Repuglican party above THE CONSTITUTION, as well as the needs of the American people (except the ultra-rich, of course).

I will be standing in line to buy this book as I want to be the first to write checks supporting the candidacy's of folks who had enough common sense not to fall lock-step into the mindless Bush brown shirts. Remember, Bush, Cheney and Rove (along with all of their appointed disciples) painted anyone who did not match their philisophical teachings as un-American and less than patriotic. Rememebr Max McLeland from Georgia (a triple amputee from Vietnam) who was painted as some kind of un-Patriotic Communist sympathizer while they (Bush etc.) were a bunch of draft dodging scumbags who NEVER served their country without receiving some huge financial benefit for themselves or their friends. Rove must be intoxicated on his own demented self-worth to think a vast majority or American's would think ill of anyone who questioned the biggest fraud to have held the position of Commander-in-Chief in the history of the U.S.A.

Let the revisionist history-making begin-to no audience for his book!

If he's on a news show, I turn it off. I'm still furious with Newsweek for giving this nitwit a platform and hope he will soon disappear permanently. Take the advance and run, Karl, because no matter what you write, most of the copies will end up as hardback remainders, reminders of the arrogance of you and this whole sorry administration we've had to put up with for eight years.

I'll bet he would have named names if he had been one of those called in front of Senator McCarthy and the HUAC.

I'm scared, ain't you boys scared?

Karl,
You are an American hero. I love that time you ignored a congressional subpoena and refused to testify... You are above the law! And the time you decided that the best way to keep Bush elected was to create a war with Iraq. Death and destruction is a such small price to pay for an election win. You are an evil genius and I love you.
Hail Satan

Now he writes a book to tell us all how he played his nasty games and twisted words for his own gain and power, not to mentioned what the American people have been left with. Do yourself and everyone else a favor. DON'T BUY THE BOOK. Save the money to help pay your bills.

What a huge book Rove must be writing........He's going to 'name names'! WOW! I'll be looking for mine............ or is he only going to pick and chose who's names get in the book under the topic of Bush's legitimacy in his first APPOINTED term ? Come on Karl, we need some more heros let us know who they are!

Baby Huey can spend the rest of his life naming names...

Let's start with election night and the MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of people world-wide not only celebrating the election of Barak Obama, but the ouster of this corupt administration and Republikan party.

WOW, I bet the list of enemies includes the 80 percent of Americans that hate him anyway. Too bad and who cares. How did he get any where in life with being that ugly in person and in spirit. Go Away!!!

OH PUHLEEZ! Spare me the theatrics, Karl Rove. The GOP stole the election with that sham of a decision in Florida and now you want to cry that George W. Bush wasn't accepted by the Washington elite. As SNL would put it....OH REALLY?!! And this surprises you because...??
Now that he has run the country into the ground, not unlike what he did to his previous businesses...and the country cleans house in the 2008 election, you want to write a book to complain on how you were received and name names?! Can you say "hissy fit", boys and girls.
Karl Rove needs to sit down somewhere and pray that no one chooses to write a book about him.

Well, hopefully this man will blabber so much he'll out himself in the msichief he was involved with. He'a as guilty a party to the mess this country is in as the rest of the Bush administration.

Why has no one yet done the "Humpty Dumpty" game with this man.
I sure thought that Keith Olbermann would have thought of this a long time ago. Humpty Dumpty and all the Kings Men – Bush = King
Rummy + Cheney = Kings Men, Rove = Humpty Dumpty (come on – tell me he doesn't look like Humpty!) They are all falling down! And history will show how hard they fell! Ah, the end, what a great story!
Worst People In the World! Doesn't matter how much $ they make they still fell down......hard!

Joe Band: Your comment could have only been stupider if you had attached a picture of yourself drooling.

Tell that to Billl Clinton

Don't buy it in this economy he's a Reason for all this...Send your tax dollars for jobs and healthcare..Better yet shame we can't ban it in America...

Hmm...people in Washington who wouldn't accept Bush as a legitimate commander-in-chief. I wish he wasn't legitimate! I wish he were a bad dream; a bad Aaron Spelling show...maybe a bad acid trip we all went on, something! That way, we could say the worst President America has ever seen was just in our imaginations!

Where is Karl going to get enough paper to write down the names of 90% of the worlds population?

Thank God for the world and the United States that this panderer to the lowest side of human nature, fear and intolerance, will be thrown into the trash bin of history with the entire Bush Administration where they all belong. Everything the Bush Administration touched was a dismal failure except getting elected which they did through the politics of fear. We have had it with fear, Karl. The politics of hope and the true American value of reaching for our higher instincts have taken over from the White House of despair and hopelessness. Nothing, not even your cry baby memoirs, can rescue the Bush Administration from the condemnation it deserves. And the claim that Bush prevented another terrorist attack on the US? Give me a break! Why spend the money on air travel when you can kill Americans in your backyard. Iraq was never a haven for terrorists until we went there. That is a truth we now have to live with.

water board rove,bush,cheney,and rummy and then lock them up for life,and whoever made the comment re: make the book out of toilet paper real soft ,is right on the money,although you could pay me all the money in the world and I would not read it! Man what a mess they made for a real PRESIDENT OBAMA to clean up.

Only Limbaugh "Ditto-heads" and othere from the "lunatic" political fringe are going to believe your B.S.

too bad Karl... I don't feel sorry for you or your boss... I cann't believe some one would pay to read your book.. You and Bush have been a open book..

I hope I am on that list ... a good portion of American public as well as
"those in Washington who never accepted the president as a legitimate commander-in-chief." So this list will be measured in terabytes

WHY IS HE NAMING NAMES NOW? WHAT IS HE TRYING TO HIDE?
WHAT A CRY BABY! FOR ALL THE THINGS HE DID, WHT DOES HE FILL HE NEEDS ACCEPTANCE OR FORGIVNESS!!

It's going to be a long book if he plans on "including an accounting of those in Washington who never accepted the president as a legitimate commander-in-chief."

Cool ...... I personally put forth my name and with great knowledge myself Karl..

whatever karl, say whatever you need to sell your book. hmm george bush not a political insider. his father was president, his brother govenor of fla....interesting.

I don't watch fox news and certainly won't buy this book. If I want to be lied to on a daily basis, I will re-marry my ex-husband. At least he will help me pay my mortgage.

'Karl loves Cox, News.
Great comment Sam! lmao

Is my name on the list? Because Bush was NEVER a legitimate president in my eyes.

do i really care about who didn't give bush a chance? does anyone? This sounds like elementary school whining. "you didn't like me, you didn't give us a chance b/c we're from Texas, I'm Telling." Karl Rove has that little to write about in his book that he has to make up controversy? Maybe if he just talked about what actually happened during the Bush administration, then he'd have a REAL story. Until then, S & S needs to find a better way to promote this book.

Along with the entire cabal of sociopaths that are Bush and friends, Rove seems to actually think that no responsibility falls to them, it's unbealivible.

Mr. Irrelevant is gonna name names? Gee, there were people who never accepted THE WORST PRESIDENT IN OUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY? Just shows there are smart people still left in DC.

Maybe they didnt accept him as the commander in cheif because he never deserved or earned it. he was only president because of his daddy. He should be held criminally accountable for ruining our country and denying the problems exist

Karl,

I'm looking forward to the list of names. It will be my pleasure to send a campaign contribution to those who are politicians, and a letter of appreciation to those who are not!

Who cares, Karl Rove is a sneaky little weasel who couldn't tell the truth is his life depended on it. Why should we buy his book to be fed some more of his lies. Do the world a favor Karl, and retire quietly.

To Stop Whining:

We've had plenty to whine about. Karl Rove, GW Bush and the rest of this incompetent administration have completely screwed up this country. They are dispicable, power-mad liars and most of us will be glad to see them leave. Here's one more question for you: Why isn't Rove in jail? He failed to respond to a Congressional subpoena. If it were you, me or "Joe Six Pack," we'd be in leg irons right now!

"of those in Washington who never accepted the president as a legitimate commander-in-chief."

Hey Karl....by all means, use my name! I don't accept "W" as a legitimate commander-in-chief".

Rove = Everything America hates about Republicans

I think the ending of Brave Heart would be an appropriate ending to both Karl Rove's and Bush's legacy.....mangled and bleeding, just like the thousands of soldiers in Iraq dying because of their greed.

I hope that he details how the Clinton administration were such sore loosers that they TRASHED the White House to the tune of over $38,000 before they left.

I also wonder if the Clintons ever gave back all of those "giofts to the country" that they STOLE.

I look forward to reading the names of the people who had the intelligence to reject this Disaster In Chief. It should be a badge of honor to be on that list.
Rove, you and your puppet are disgraces of historic proportions, and your legacys are putting greed and lust for power above honor and patriotism.
Your names will live in infamy when the full measure of your crimes against this nation are revealed.

So he's going to list the names of people who didn't accept GWB as a legitimate president. The book will have an appendix 1200 pages long.

I never accepted GWB as a legitimate president. I have the feeling that GWB was not accepted in Washington not because he wasn't an insider, but because he stole two elections to get there.

Nevertheless, I will probably buy a copy of Karl Rove's book. I will keep it in the bathroom with my copies of Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly, for when I run out of toilet paper.

Who cares, Karl? You're just making excuses for an administration that
made mistakes all by itself with resulting long-term damage to the country that the rest of us now have to deal with. If you can't take the heat, get out of Washington.

What a big baby! The reason people didn't accept him wasn't because he came up from Texas...it's because he is a mean hearted jerk! (IMHO).

Take your toys and go home Karl...we don't actually care that you don't want to play with the other kids in DC anymore!

And by the by, you better add my name to the list of people that didn't support Bush as President.

Karl's going to name people who didn't think Bush was a legitimate president? That's probably gonna take a while...

Bambi December 8th, 2008 3:25 pm ET
All I see in these comments is the babbling of left-wing fools, blinded by hatred, seeing no reason.
Pathetic
~~~~~~~~
Go and google 'McCain/Palin' supporter. Watch a few videos of your brethren at their best. There you will see who is blinded by hatred. Then you will understand why the world looks down on the United States of America. It is because of people like you.

GWB is a war criminal; as is most of his administration.

When Rove names names, my christmas card list will get bigger.

KR is just another "Speed Bump" on the road to improving the fortunes of this country. If he had stayed in Texas we wouldn't be in half as deep a hole as we are.

Oh, wah, wah, wah...poor Carl Rove. Actually, the only thing that could bury Bush's reputation any deeper is for his bitter, frustrated sidekick to name everyone who had no respect whatsoever for W. Please add my name.

Oh, please, please name names, Karl. I want to send a bouquet of flowers to each and every one who opposed you and Bush's insanity. You don't seem to realize what Bush's current approval rating is...or isn't. By the way, Karl, you don't seem to scare anyone–people without power can't really intimidate too well, you know.

It's about time. Both Rove and Bush should have done this years ago. Sometimes you can be too civil and it hurts the country. They didn't play hardball enough and let the left create enough lies until they became the accepted truth to those who don't have critical thinking skills. The lefts first lie....Bush stole the election. The lefts last lie......Bush, not the Democrats created the subprime mess.

Will he be unable to collect royalties from prison? I sure hope so.

According to the polls (approval rating) , Karls the only name NOT on the list...yeh, real expose' Karl...a cliff hanger.

apple head should head for his chicken farm after he leaves the " fox hole"...imbecile

He's such a nice man, quit picking on him.

Anonymous: The slogan is "Fair and Balanced."

Slow down, you're getting your propaganda mixed up.

StopWhining: repeat your screen name 500 times.

Boy, Karl seems to be running short of friends today.

This guy thirst for attention. Unfortuntately, who cares, we already now.

Great! Now we will know who to thank for things not getting even worse!

The man who directed the campaigns of Bush in Texas, and two presidential elections is know going to name the people in Washington who did not recognize George Bush , as a real leader of the free world.
The thing that Karl Rove still doesn't get is when you elect a person like George Bush, you are electing someone who is really stupid and dumb. The mess we are left with after his eight years in office, is proof of how dumb and stupid George Bush was. Bush looks like such a "lightweight" on these financial problems. He looks more and more like a deer in the headlights not knowing which way to turn. People in Washington who looked down at George Bush, quickly came to realize, that Bush was not qualified to be anything, but got himself elected with people like Karl Rove and Dick Cheney calling the shots. This is what you get when you elect someone who is basically not too bright. Remember the words of Duch Reagan" It happened on your watch" This is why Bush will go down in history as one of our worst presidents.

I'm proud to say I never thought that whackjob was my president. Or that guy Bush, either.

My goodness. Eight years in power, pulling the strings and smirking over Bush's shoulder in all the photos and he still feels picked on? He needs a therapist, not a book contract.
What a pathetic child.

Uhm, besides his own? This man needs to shut up and go far, far away (and hope that he's forgotten about).

Is there enough paper for that?

To all "Christian Conservatives",
I'm curious to know if you worship at the church
where the minister posted the sign stating that
Obama is a muslim. You people are still fighting
a war that you lost.

Speaking of empty suit blowhards, when does Obama take office?

Nothing more hilarious then reading comments that "we the people... decided for change and voted in the new guy" -as if all of america wanted Obama. Guess what folks – 47% of us, 47% (!!), did not want the new guy. That's almost 1/2 of this country. So, i guess we can follow your lead and say we don't support this prez. I just hope that the politicians in the minority can find a way to make this empty suit's life as miserable as the Dems and media did with the current administration. If you think Bush and Rove were bad, now you have Jimmy Carter II (easily the worst prez in my lifetime) with a reprise of Clinton staffers. That's like have measles and hemmies at the same time.

"...those in Washington who never accepted the president as a legitimate commander-in-chief."

Gee Karl, that would be the Washington DC white pages with 50 names crossed out.

I think it's horrible that people like Karl Rove stand idly by and let horrible things happen to save their jobs, only to move on and write a "tell all" book after the fact. I couldn't stand to watch or listen to him, or his constituents before, and surely wouldn't purchase their books now. Do something positive for a change, for this country and citizens.

Uh-oh. Look out, people. If we don't pay attention to him, he's going to HOLD HIS BREATH.

If I buy the book then I'm contributing to this administration? Then sign me up for 10! I would buy more but I'm saving up for Obama's "tax cuts." Good stimulation plan. Create government jobs that won't be around in 5 years and pay for them by increasing taxes on people that actually make money and move the economy forward. Can't wait to see how that turns out . . .

Tell it as you wish, history sure judges right and this time Karl, with or without your twist, history will judge you and what you guys created.

It's really funny to hear everyone spew hatred at Rove, when he sums up the issue precisely:

"You'll notice there was outrage when it was thought that I was the person behind outing Valerie Plame. And then when it came out that it was the sainted [Deputy Secretary of State] Richard Armitage, there was no interest,"

Once people realized it was Armitage, nothing. Not from the Media and not from the left-wing nut jobs. Why not? I know, it's plane and simple, Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Karl loves Cox, News

Peggy Lucas....Amen to that!!!!

I can't wait. I will be waiting at the bookstore!!!!

Hate knows no bounds nor does Brother Karl's need to do harm.

Boycott the book of an infamous liar to the American public would be the best for everyone.

The truth of the matter is that the MEDIA accepted Bush as a legit president. The media used it's power to get people used to accepting Bush as president...it worked.

One thing i will never be able to summit about the whole 2000 election is that we all knew that George Bush, Jeb Bush, Marvin Bush, Katherine Harris, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney the supreme court and god knows who else; conspired to get Dubya in the whitehouse, and yet there's no conspiracy charges?

It sounds like whoever he names, will be getting credit for resisting the self-focused and arrogant sociopathic actions of the Bush administration – it may just be a list people will want to be on.

Geez. Karl Rove sounds like a bad, whiny 13-year-old boy who didn't get his way. He may as well have said, "I'm gonna tell my mommy.!"
Go away already Karl! Maybe Palin can rent you out a bedroom in Alaska you moose brain!

Karl, if you have some time, which I think you do since no one is interested in anything you have to say ($1.5 mill for your book? Lucky! Better hope the publishing house doesn't go under), Jack Abramoff would like a visitor and requests you bring some dominoes.

Go home Karl..we never trusted you, never liked you and for hundreds of reasons. Make all the money you can on your book and then PLEASE disappear from the media...we are extremely tired of you.
You don't and never dis "play well with others"!

I am SO sacred! Please go back to Texas and don't bother us anymore – WE DON'T CARE

Be Gone rove – you are banished to the underworld.

Karl, why not save the publisher some time and money by listing those that DID accept Bush as Commander-in-Chief. They could then publish and handout leaflets.

Hey Karl,

While your writing your book, maybe you'll want to include my name as one of those who never accepted Georgie Junior as a legitimate President.

The name is "Vic" – remember it. I worked hard for him out and I am working hard to get you and him sent to prison too!

Would someone please shove an apple in this pigs mouth and shut him up.

Evidently Mr Rove has managed to accrue a list of 70% of the people in the United States...... How many is 70%....about 240 MILLION names?

Finally a book with more pages than War and Peace. I hope they alphabetize the names so we can all look ourselves up faster.

Karl is a shameless, win at all cost, manipulative, evil doer and anyone foolish enough to buy this man's pack of lies, distortions, excuses and half truth, let alone his threatened tell all must be pitied rathered than scorned.
His President wasn't accepted because he was a less than bright, born again frat boy from an elite wealthy background posing as a good ol' boy with a lying, cheating, manipulative, hypocrite, draft dodging coward, warmonger for a vice president.

Quit whinning. Any of you would take millions of dollars to rat a few enemies out as well.

He's going to name names of people who didn't accept Bush as a legitimate President! Oh my gosh! Those people!

Can we give them promotions and raises for being ahead of everyone else in spotting incompetency? Can Obama appoint them to something important? Clearly they are inciteful people.

Rove- Do you notice that this story says more about you than "those people"? Do you not get it? Put down the Kool-Aid! It's over Johnny...

No Karl – It was not because you were one of those Texans who came up that you were not accepted in Washington. It was because you were already known as a lying "make-it-up-as-you-go" skin flint that played politics using the Richard M. Nixon hand book; "If you can't beat them – Destroy Them using Lies and Half-Truths".

And your statement that criticisms towards the president and his aides were partly because they were not part of the Washington establishment has absolutely no defense. As history will show – the election was stolen in 2000 by a man who had no right becoming the president of the United States who led us into a war based on lies that have nearly bankrupted our country.

I goes without saying Karl that based on your personality, your lack of human dignity, honesty and fair play that your book will be found in the clearance section of Wal-Mart selling for $1.99 2 weeks after publication.

A total flop, just like George W. Bush’s 8 years in office.

Put me on the list!

AND YOUR POINT IS WHAT? WHO REALLY CARES!!! I bet the folks in Washington are just shaking in their boots. Mr. Rove, don't go away mad.....just go away!

To little to late.!!.....

He can add my name to his list, too.

Who are you whiny liberals going to blame for the countries troubles when George and Karl are gone. Oh yeah, global warming and big oil.

So how's that Permanent Republican Majority working out for you, Karl?

I am sure it will be fair and unbiased.

I think about 50% of the population never accepted Bush as a legitimate presidency, so that's going to be a long list. But why would anyone believe anything Rove says, whether it's in a book or not? The whole Bush persona was built upon lies, half-truths and a PR makeover of an incompetent doofus. If the book sells it will be as a novelty, not as a serious bit of journalism.

Are the same. I guess everyone quickly forgot the lies and deceipt the Clintons left behind.

So the SON OF A PAST PRESIDENT was a washington outsider eh?

Good lord.

Ahhhh, Rove missed his moment in the sun—
born a few decades too late.
What a great Nazi soldier he would have been.
Propagandizing, fomenting hate, endorsing torture...

We see him for what he is—power hungry puppet master.

When did D.C. turn into a land of snitching?

Maggie from SC....your tin foil is showing just a bit. Oh I get it now, you watch Glenn Beck. See Patriot Act supported by Rove and Bush for a lesson in unnecessary government intrusion.

There is just too much of the youy scratch my back and I' ll scratch yours mentality in the world anyway, Mister Rove. If people did their job or were hired on their owna bility our world would be a better place. Too many peopel in the White House or elsewhere are noit the smartes just becasue they made it to Washington, it is more like who knows whom. Even our children have better qualities and loyalities that the ones making rules in our Congress and government. I just hope America wakes up and see the real enemies among us, among our society.

Name the names you evil, treasonous, fool. You will only serve to make those people heroes in the minds of the American public. Have you checked your bosses approval ratings? They are through the floor, not because the US is made up of Washington insiders, but because he has driven this great nation into the ground. 9/11, hurricane Katrina, endless war in Iraq, crumbling infastructure, and crumbling economy. Sound familiar? Maybe you should read your subpoenas and figure out why Bush is so unpopular.

Karl just continues to write the history of the worst presidency in history and his reality is that he was part of this terrible, misguided, misinformed, and arrogant office.

As much as you want to blame Rove, Bush and anyone else, pull your head out and look at Dodd he is the one that got us in to this mess.

We here in Arkansas couldn't be happier that George W. Bush, and his father before him, have made our Native Son, one Bill Clinton (who has plenty of faults, mind you), a virtual Planetary Hero. Karl, you and your ilk can carry all of your bluster and arrogance straight back to Texas and stay there!! The Republican Party is morally bankrupt and that is now plain for all to see. It's been a long time coming!

If you purchace this book you are contributing to the idiots of this administration. Carl Rove should be in prison for what he has done.

Oh WOW Karl, I can hardly wait!

The re-telling of history by Rove will be an interesting fiction I am sure.
My guess is that Bush was never accepted as a legitimate commander-in-chief because,…ugh..well…ugh…..Florida 2000?
Besides every one knows that Cheny pulled the strings from his "undisclosed locations".

I cannot believe this man is for real or that a publisher is actually paying him millions for this worthless junk.

Who in the world cares who these people are? And do they care?. I never watched Bush speak for the 8 years he was in office, I just can't stomach the lot of you, Karl.

Karl Rove and Bush stopped at nothing to undermine John McCain in 2000, denying him a well-earned place in American history. But instead of having a real Republican leader in the White House, we got Boy George foisted on us by this snake oil salesman. My fear is that the revisionist history of the Bush presidency now being written will somehow find a niche in the American consciousness. It's the books by Turdboy and others of his ilk that will attempt to perpetuate the myth that Boy George was a great president. I won't buy that for a second and nether should anyone else.

slimeball

You are all a bunch of stupid Dumacrats... Go on blame all your troubles on George... You wait history is going to have him as one of the greatest Presidents of all time...

Smack, bang, pow

Rove is the consummate liar. He and his crew are trying to rewrite history, sorry Karl we were there. There were only a few who dared to withhold support for these criminals. They will be remembered as heroes. Every demographic is showing a shift away from this hate based politics. Sorry Sarah, you are losing your audience.

Who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Better yet how could anyone trust what he says.

Goodness, we're all holding our breath to hear this...

Guess he's not making enough at Fox. Or he wanted to get the book written and published to help raise money cuz he knows he's going to need a real lawyer...

Ah Karl, when are you going to tell all about the governor of Alabama you and your neo-cons lied on and help lock him up, there's a story we would like to read. Karl Rove needs to be in jail for war crimes and political crimes. Faces of EVIL: BUSH, CHANEY, ROVE, RICE, HANNITY, RUSH, and most of the FOX NEWS channel members.

You tell 'em, Karl. I hope Scott McClellan is on that list. Say howdy to W and Alberto Gonzalez for me..

Whoever didn't accept Bush as president should be lauded.
No individual in our brief history as a nation has done more to harm our country. This includes those of other nations who have meant us harm.

It is hard to trust what Rove will say... After all he has protected Bush and company for the last 8 years...

Even though Bush has essentially checked out months ago, I am concerned that he is going to set some things in motion to mess up Obama's term... There is already proof of this...

With all of the problems this country is facing, it would be nice if there were some concern about doing something. But that is not likely to happen until after January 20.

It is hard to soar with eagles when you are working with turkeys...

Karl Rove's is a blow-hard ego maniac . I hope no one buys his book – I think it will be great to relegate him to yesterday's news. There is no way he could be as interesting as he thinks he is.

Just like the rest of his buddies in the Bush Adm..Blame everybody except yourself. These guys will never learn.......

Ugly to the core- He is , was and always will be a poor excuse for a human being. He personifies all that is dishornorable in politics and certainly gives Texas and the Republican patry a well diserved bad name.

Why bother nobody accepted Rove as true patriot.

So he is going to release the names of CIA operatives in the middle east?

Go get em` Karl..........

All of you guys sound pretty scared....

Of course Rove is going to jump up and down and blame EVERYONE else. If it comes to it, he will through George W. under the bus before admitting to his own faults. It's NOT that you are not an insider, it's that that you're EVIL, Karl! You are another Lee Atwater and hopeful for you, you will not have to face death (as Lee did with cancer) to see and admit that's the problem is YOU.

And it may not be that Karl even cares. He may just be spouting off as way to sell books Annie style – the blonde who says the most outrageous things whenever she has a now book for sell.

Hmmm, "Karl" . . . with a K. That's so 40's Germany, isn't it?

As if anyone believes the word of this arrogant liar!

hey! Wanna use my name? Feel free!

The last Republican to "name names" was Sen. Joe McCarthy. That is not th eonly similarity between these two...

Mr Rove just trying to justify Bush's (and thus his own) poor ratings, what is in fact an american populace dislike of Bush, not just a few people on the hill. This guy's a narcissist through and through, can see no fault with himself, just with everyone else.

Libs are so simple minded...life for them is so easy and convienant , just blame Bush.... Most people who voted for Obama Cant give one real concrete reason the why they voted for him, other than maybe they hate republicans or Bush. It's not as if Obama has this great proven track record, and its going to be awesome laughing at all the knubskulls who believed his or any other politcal promises!!!

I wonder if he will name himself as the biggest jerk from Texas. He's an idiot like Bush! Who cares or believes these lying, manipulative fear mongers anyways! Thank god it's over! Rove needs to shut up and find a hole to hide in for the rest of his life!

Dear Mr. Rove,
Please don't forget to add my name to your list.
Thanks!
Aimee

No, its not because Armitage is "sainted" or a consumate DC insider. Its because Rove is a slimey facist at heart.

I hope he does name those who looked at W as commander and chief and rolled their eyes...so I can support these individuals of keen insight in the future.

And...this is coming from a 30 year Republican.

Being named in Rove's book as one who pushed back against this corrupt administration would be seen as the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in my family.

Good thing for Rove that someone wants to read his crappy version. It may be his last income for some time. Of course his buddy may let him live in the spare rtoom in his new mansion down home!

Oh boy...I'm sure a lot of people are shaking in their boots.....especially since they were right about the guy all along.

What a crock/crook. The reason they may not have been "accepted" in Washington would be due to the lack of intelligence of Rove, Bush and croonies. Yes, Cheney too. Take the whole lot of them and divide them and put them into one of two columns, crock or crook. Now Rove naming names could be a double whammy a crock and a crook.

Please! Name names. Wish I could be on the list. The list would be too long to publish. How many of us thought George Bush was gonna make an aweful president? How many wondered if the country couled SURVIVE 2 terms of his ineptitude? And now? While we're relieved to have new leadership, how many wonder if the hole created by "W" and Rove and the "leadership" can be filled even by an intellectual and all the smart people he can bring to bear. Please, name names so we can know whom to celebrate.

Karl Rove might want to list any number of people from the almost 5,000 families that have lost loved ones in the failed political policy that brought about a failed military strategy in Iraq. Those families will one day learn the truth about the Bush administration...that it manufactured information to alarm the US public on WMD's and sent kids to their deaths. When that is finally understood....I don't think there will be many places he can hide....

You can add me to the list of names of people questioning the legitimacy of the presidents election in 2000.

I will vote indefinitely for everyone he names... thanks for making my future research on politicians easier, Rove.... idiot

Dear Karl,

NO ONE CARES. BTW, is this the same book you were auctioning? The one NO ONE wanted to buy? 1.5 million seems to be a bit much for a steaming heap of...well, I think we all know what. Best of luck cowpie

I wonder why a publisher would pay for his political propaganda. Couldn't have gotten Himmler, or Gobbels or some swine instead? It just seems they pay for the garbagemen in or out of government, and not those that actually are better possessive of trash. Well I need not buy his book, better left in a portable outhouse and used under hand.
steve o barstow, ca

Rove should be grateful he isn't "NAMED" in a fraud indictment. He's responsible for the greatest con in history against the American people. Namely, the packaging and selling of an idiot named "W".

to Nathan Johnson,
yes they will buy his book because Rush will be quoting what's written there as fact. we need to know his talking points in order to refute them. This is far from over. GWB, Rove, Cheney they'll be trying to spin that administration untill they're all dead. We need to keep the truth alive.

Remember America don't like you Karl. So it will not matter whatever you say in your book. I advice that no one buys the so called "book". It will be wriiten by Karl Rove. And I repeat by Karl Rove. Do not trust him. My family and I do not trust him and will not go near him.

I will be glad to give Karl Rove my name so I can be on the list. To this day I believe Non president Bush is just that NOT offically our Commander in Cheif!!!!!!!

Go ahead, rove-baby – let those names roll! Just remember that the GOP spent/wasted the Clinton years trying to get him on something or anything .... $4,000,000 on Whitewater and Ken Starr – taking the mind of the country off government, off the failures of the GOP – which set the stage for 911 – 'cause the GOP & Bush wouldn't listen or learn from anything that had gone on before ...

Bush as President? Don't you mean Cheney as the puppet-master?

Left wing liberals make know sense what so ever. How does it feel to know that Obama is going back on most of the issues he ran on. And kept a Bush Cabinet member for his own and basically admitted that he is weak on foreign policy. By putting Clinton in his cabinet and keeping Gates, he admits he is very weak on foreign policy. You guys should notice that there are no left wing liberals on his cabinet. So stay off Roves back. " Don't hate the player, hate the game."

People like Rove would rather see us scratch each others eyes out over partisan b.s. than see Americans succeed as a whole.

He needs to be tried for the crimes he's orchestrated.

oooo- he's gonna show how unreceiving people were of bush in 2001- well gee- i wonder why? could it be because he STOLE the election- all carl rove's gonna do by naming those particular people is give me and 79% of this country, someone else to respect, not hate

Who cares? Stay gone. We don't miss you at all.

Karl, We've had ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!! Go find something else to do. Bake cookies with your kids or something. Get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Simon & Schuster shouldn't have given Rove the means to profit off of this administration in any way, shape, or form.

He should be jailed but thats justice in America for ya!

Two comments – How did I miss that Rove was a Texan – breaks my texas native heart (guess I never paid any attention to him at all) and why are we still paying attention to this rodentia?

Maybe he should name his names under oath in front of a congressional committee–you know, the ones he keeps refusing to talk to....

It would seem to me Karl Rove should have done a better job of vetting the candidate he decided to foist upon the American people. I recently, again, saw the Frontline documentary on the late Lee Atwater and his tactics that put George H. Bush in the White House in 1988. Gee, he had died from a brain tumor before re-election, thankfully, and they say there isn't justice in this world. Karl Rove was Lee Atwater's deciple and followed the same path with his candidate first, with the late Anne Richards, former governor of Texas and then against John McCain in 2000, and the debacle of this George W. Bush's re-election in 2004. Please, hasn't the country had enough of such trash politics, and Kark Rose ought to be man enough to take the punches on the chin. After all, Lee Atwater created him and his bully tactics. Time to pay the Piper, Karl, and bring on all those names – you hardly think you have any credibility left, do you?

You people are pathetic. You are so full of hate that you can't even think straight. I'm waiting with bated breath to see what the next four years will look like. So far, I've heard: "It might not look like we're doing the right thing." and "The economy is going to get a lot worse before it gets better." It appears that we are expected to dismiss possible upcoming failures simply because we were warned!?!? Beware what you wish for, you hate mongers; you might just get it.

Karl should put his own name at the very top of the list....he probably did more to mislead Bush into several stupid decisions thatn anyone else. From pushing out several military leaders that advised against a stupid military strategy in Iraq...rather than a smart stike in Afghanistan....to allowing Colin Powell to resign ......

Rove is a bottom feeder and his 15 minutes of fame have been exhausted. He has been part of a nasty political machine that has helped run this country up on the rocks. It will take years to repair the damage they have done to our prestige around the world...and to rebuild the financial ruin facing many in this country.

The best thing he could do would be to slither back into the weeds he came out of...

I like the comment by Rocky which sums it all up. Seems to me the guys he would name are EXTREMELY smart.

I have never seen such an out of touch administration, and the rub is these idiots actually believe their own material. Name names? Didn't accept him as Commander In Chief? War...Economy....Katrina...Buddies like Ken Lay and Tom Delay who is a good ol Texan....that's why Texas is slowly becoming a Democratic state...the rest of the Windshield cowboys are holdin on to the East Texas...my daddy was a Republican...blah...blah...blah...Pres. Cheney and Vice Bush and the GANG straight up hi-jacked our country based on hi jackings! Talk about an Epiphany......

Billy J,

Karl Rove does not have a daughter, so I'm not sure how she could ask him not to come home for Thanksgiving. He has ONE son.

I can't believe all the liberal losers are still whining that Bush stole the 2000 election. The one and only reason that Bush won in 2000 is because Gore couldn't even come close to carrying his own home state (We know Gore best ). I am willing to bet that the majority of Rove's book sales will be to brain dead liberals, the same one's who spend every waking hour listening to conservative talk radio and Fox News so that they can whine about every litthle thing that is said there.

He should be fearful of those who are cutting book deals warning they are going to name names. Perhaps the name Karl Rove is in the top three of the most disliked in America, preceded by President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

Someone mentioned Obama. Obama is not going to be a perfect Prez. He's human and he has his flaws, but from watching all his moves for two years, I have come to the conclusion that he's definitely not going to be a MISSING IN ACTION President. So whether he's right or wrong or mentally in-between, we will not be ignored.

Who cares!!!

Now sour grapes! Time to write a book now and make some more money. I, for one, won't read it. It's is time for a change for our country and to really care about the "little people".

So he is going to "name names" of real patriots

Forget the folks in Washington, Carl. There were millions and millions of us ordinary folks who never accepted Bush as the legitimate president and commander-in-chief. You guys did, after all, steal two elections. And what are you talking about being resented because the Bush administration were not Washington insiders? Most of the administration were in the Reagan and Bush 1 administrations. Guess your tell-all is going to be an exercise in revisionism.

Everyone on Rove's list is an American hero.

ROVE THE ROGUE YOU NEED TO JOIN BUSH, CONDI, RUMMIE, WOLFIE AND THE REST FOR THOSE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. YOU WOULD MAKE A PERFECT PORKIE PIG IN IRAQ. LET THEM DECIDED IF WATER BOARDING IS OK? LET THEM DECIDE IF THEY CAN POO ALL OVER YOUR HEAD AND BODY AND DRAG YOU ACROSS THE FLOOR. LE THEM PLACE A LEASH ON YOUR NECK ANMD PEE ALL OVER YOUR FAT BODY. LET THEM SHOOT YOU ON YOUR FEET AND LEGS AND TELL US IF THAT IS TORTURE OR NO.

HOPE YOU ALL MAKE IT TO THE HAGUE AND THAT A INT'L COURT CAN BRING ALL OF YOU FOLKS THERE TO FACE THOSE TERRIBLE CHARGES AGAINST HUMANITY. THE HAGUE IS WAITING FOR YALL AND THOSE SEATS ARE EMPTY.

I hope he spells my name right.

Karl Rove is like Sarah Palin. Neither one of them knows when to just shut up already and quietly disappear. No one cares. And I like how he says the Bush Administration was not part of the Washington establishment. Bush, Rumsfeld, and Cheney are just a bunch of mavericks I guess.

Karl is a crook. A blood thief. May all of your souls (Texas crew and Cheney) be rewarded accordingly in the years to come....

I hope Carl Rove has added my name to the list of people who never excepted Bush as my commander in cheif.The only good comment I have about Bush is that on January 20th, 2009 our moron -in-charge is heading back to Texas to build his presidential library in his out house on that little patch of dirt in Crawford, Texas.Oh by the way, will his library contain the one coloring book Bush actually colored in between the lines ?

Karl Rove is going to name those who privately showed no respect for Bush? How about some sort of medal for those who, in the face of a vindictive regime orchestrated by people like Rove, PUBLICLY paid it no respect. Anyone who pays a dime for this book should have to continute matching funds to our current bailouts.

Alternate title for the book: "Karl Rove's Book Of Heroes".

ACCOUNTABILITY: It was reported that all the failures of these past eight years, really is the work of the previous administration. This is what I have to say to this report: The minute you USE the PEN to sign anything in your office, the WHOLE entire America along with its PROBLEMS, becomes yours. This is why we must pick a Prez with judgment, vision and patience to faithfully execute the Office.

I hope my name makes the list.

I would consider it to be an honor.

Now run along and help Bush pack his bags, like a good little servant.

Adios, Rove. Don't let it hit ya where the good lord split ya...

Who really gives a rats patootie what this jerk says. He is one of the biggest slimeballs ever tyo hit washington. It will take years to clean up washington now that he is gone
Good by Karl and remember to keep your eyes on the rear view mirror

Rove can't accept the fact that he and his buddies are corrupt, win at all cost, scoundrals. He steered an inept, unintelligent, inarticulate Bush in office for two terms, and now look at the conditions the US is in. He needs to be thoroughly investigated and brought to trial.

The list that all politicians worth their salt want to be on. History will judge these people as having done the right thing, not Karl Rove or George Bush Jr.

Big step up for the Karl ... becoming a "journalist" on FOX. Maybe he misses a job with some higher level of credibility, like Presidential suck up. Go away Karl...the Shrub and the Crypt Keeper will be exiting stage left on January 20th (AMEN!) and I sincerely hope a big dose of Obama/Biden therapy will erase the PTSD effects the past 8 years ha have had on this country.

Cool! Let him name the names so that we can hail them all as heros.

Bush was NOT legitimately elected in 2000 as unofficial recounts of ALL of the ballots in Florida by several organizations found that Al Gore actually did receive more votes. The only time Bush gets more votes is when the votes were only recounted in the disputed districts (Gore's big mistake).

The actual reason that SCOTUS decided as it did was because by NOT insisting on a complete statewide recount, certain population segments were considered to be being discriminated against. Read the decision and do some research, I did.

Rove ticks off all of the right people. Beautiful! Can't wait to read it.

Karl: Being mean to your favorite nitwit is an honor. Would you please include me on the list? I could use the points.

In the meanwhile, get used to being out of it. You're way way out of it and tough being utterly irrelevant, isn't it?

By the way, you're not in the clear. You could still take a fall and you're just unpopular enough to go down. Let us know when that happens, Karl, I'll by a front-row ticket

Good. Now I'll know who had the good sense to stand against these morons. Thanks Karl

I'm just waiting on the book that finally reveals that Karl Rove is exactly what we thought all along...the lap dog of Satan!

Dear Karl,

Get over it. You lost. Simple as that. Now if you are a true patriot, then you will stop whinning like some immature baby and support the next President of the United States, Barrack Obama in this time of crisis. Start thinking positive and let go of the negative. You'll even start to feel and look better.

Many republicans did not treat Bill Clinton as legitimate president because he got less than 50% vote due to Ross Perot. For all practical purposes 2000 election was decided by Bush-I and Reagan appointees.
What exactly is Rove complaining about??

Everyone Rove names should be given a medal

Rove and Bush need to turn themselves in at the Hague for their war crimes. Just go away while we still do not care enough to try you.

Good. I'll know who had the good sense to question these despicable incompetents! Thanks Karl!

Rove is widely considered by all I speak with as the worse in decades(if not centuries) at dirty politics and backroom manipulation. I personally believe history will show him in a light to make Oliver North look like a boyscout, Tricky Dickie like a saint and Machiavelli a moderate. He probably is the most responsible for the black mark the Bush presidency will be in American history. So it makes sense that he will throw salt in GW's historical wounds by dragging him and his presidency further through the mud. Best he stop being the bad little boy and just go (very quietly) away.

Oh god, another stalker. Who cares! Good riddance to BOTH of them.

Rove actually believes that Bush should have been accepted "as a legitimate commander-in-chief?"

We, the People, deserved more leadership and poise from our President. Period.

Rove's going to name names of those in Washington who never accepted the president as a legitimate commander-in-chief?

Great. Just what I wanted for holiday reading: a 10,000 page book.

All I see here is hatred aimed at a man who has the guts to stand by his convictions and do what he thinks is best for the country. Hate is all you have and it is tearing this country apart! You’ve learned absolutely nothing from great men such as Martin Luther King and Bob Kennedy about tolerance. You would all vote in a dirty sock before ANY republican/conservative regardless of the consequences to this country because of your hatred. You are the problem. Not Rove or Bush. God bless America!

Boy... all this vitrol against Bush and Rove... I'm not fans of these guys, but I have moved on...

For those of you who can't seem to move on... my advice to you is to get a life.

So Bush and Rove were not accepted. Wahhh wahhh wahhh.

What do you expect when you show up at the White House, but were not the country's choice for the office???

LOSER!!

Consider it a "badge of honor" if your name is in his book.

Rove can name anyone he like, but those are the true heros. These heros know not to follow a failed president. I have never recognized Bush is my president anyway.
Rove is about leaving DC, and he just wants to cash in.

Can someone please drive a stake through the heart of the"mother of all weasels"?

Memo to Karl Rove: GO AWAY!!!

Uh, no Karl. It wasn't because Armetige is a washington insider. It was because people have some measure of trust of Armitage. No one in thier right mind would trust your motivations. I mean, come on Karl, you're famed for not telling the truth whenever it can't be proved otherwise.

I can't wait for the disaster known as the Bush administration to be over! I can't think of a single good thing they have done. They have not made our country better, not made us more prosperous, not made us respected around the world. And they have not made us safe. 9-11 happened on Bush's watch- something all Republicans conveniently forget. And Osama bin Laden is still free after all of these years.

Bush, Rove and Cheney- good riddance to bad rubbish.

Karl is like the ex-boyfriend/girlfriend who wont leave.
We dont have the time nor the want to rehash your "version" of the past.

its over.
Your over.
Deal with it,....or dont. We could care less.

lynd devine December 8th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

"Both Bush and Rowe should be tried for war crimes."

------–

I voted for Ralph Nader on this very pricipal.
(amoung others)

If the prince of darkness had nothing to do with the VP outing. Why is he still ducking the courts? He can name all the names he wants. He is no longer relavent and no one really cares anymore.

Karl Rove is going to name names? Ooooohh, how frightening. Rove is one of the biggest scumbags of the entire Bushco regime.

I am hesitant to categorize it as Homo Sapiens. Well, it certainly looks like a man, but thats where the similarities end. It should be treated like Ann Coulter - placed in a confined area, away from sentient Humans. Monsters of their ilk do not belong among civilized humans. Anyone who buys their "books" should be ashamed.

Rove & Coulter = Nazi garbage

Someone wrote that Karl Rove is a great American, only the opposite is true. Rove is a disgrace to American democracy, and all that it stands for. How anyone can give this guy a thumbs up is beyond me.

What can we expect from Rove but more "perception management". Just like Nixon's "I am not a crook", he will create new "truths" to support the untruths behind them justifying his work for the GOP.

I am curious, but the same way I would be when driving past a bad car wreck – however I'll borrow it from the library rather than spend my money on it.

That's ridiculous. Go ahead, Karl, name names. He doesn't seem to understand that the President is the Commander in Chief of the military, not of the country.

Is that why he stomps the USA into the ground before he leaves?
I think many would be proud to be named, they were right, Rove is wrong.

I wanted to write something clever but Matt said it all! I will say this: Rove needs to keep his chubby face out of the news. He was a paid manipulator and cheater and his suspected fraud of the election system resulted in us having a commander in chief we really did not want. Rove, don't you know the more you complain the more you experience things to complain about? Don't write the book. Who cares? Who would believe you anyway? I don't want to hear your whining about Richard Armitage. Save us from this static, please.

I wonder why Rove is making a book in the first place. He's trying to name names, and make himself look like an outsider in that interview, when on Fox news Rove is a conservative political expert and contributor. What's wrong with him??? He's just going to pick democrats, including Obama, that have criticized the Bush presidency. But look at him and other conservatives criticizing the Obama presidency when it hasn't even started.

tesss~are you insane??? Do you live in a frigin BUBBLE??? WOW, I cant believe there are still people as IGNORANT and blind as you in this country! If he had been a Democrat, we would have been desparete enough to have voted in palin HAHAHAHAHAHA another JOKE!

are you actually gonna include everyone?!?! all three hundred million of us?!?!

The progressive MSM has clearly shown that they will to put agenda ahead of America's right to unfiltered truth.

All I see in these comments is the babbling of left-wing fools, blinded by hatred, seeing no reason.

Pathetic.

last good thing to come out of Texas was Sam Houston

Yeah put my name down too : Charlie Bravo,
i ain't scared Cox News!

His is going to name all of W's enemeis? Sounds like there will be volumes to fill. Is there really a need to kill that many trees? Can't he just write "EVERYBODY" and be done with it?

It is funny to me how all of you are getting on Mr. Rove and you will probably be the first ones in line to buy the book.

Just want to join the throngs on this and other boards – ADD MY NAME to the list: Janice Grounds. I knew he was an average man who was not successful in anything he did before running. Average as a cheeleader and C student in college, Average – well less than average in his *laughing here* 'military stint', Average as a business owner...well he failed actually but got his money out before it went bankrupt or I would have called him below average, Average as a sports team owner and very Average as the govenor of 'the great state of Texas' where his ideology and cronism began in earnest.

I despised him as a phony 'Christian' with nothing but disdain for those without money and power, I knew he was NOT SMART and would drive my country in to a ditch – which he did by his lack of leadership and his selections to run his administration.

He was never my president, I despised him in 2000 and if possible more now. So please KKKKarl, get my name right!

I have to admit this is a great marketing technique. I'm excited to read about how Bush was disrespected by those he was supposed to be in charge of it aught to be funny. What would be better is if Rove provided the back story as to why people treated Bush with said disrespect.

Oh nevermind we all know that, he was/is unfit for office.

Jim in Fllorida December 8th, 2008 2:52 pm ET

Please re read the comments. You said the liberals said something about the military. You are either stupid or dillusional...perhaps both.

Show me where you read something about the military. Or are you simply making crap up, like all neo-con morons do?

I dont trust no republicans of alot them should be in jail.....I wondering why Obama have to come in fix all of the republicans mess...
The true is going to come out in the open how some of the crooks mess our country up.

To R Scott: "Just reading through these blog responses makes you wonder if any of the Bush hate squad will ever move on."

Sure. Say that to the parents of a son or daughter who lost their life or were maimed in Iraq or Afghanistan.

AH.

What a waste of space. Look, you Dork- NO ONE CARES- get it? America does not give a flaming fig about you, your "boss" or the entire corrupt administration you worked SO WELL with. Go home. Maybe you & Georgie can have some sleep-overs & set things right. Just remember one thing- America is though with you.

Go away Karl Rove, and take W home with you. We are done. You both are responsible for the suffering of millions of people around the globe. Go home and think about that.

What a guy. Waits until the party is over then calls the cops on his drunk friends.
So Rove is going to list the peole that didn't take the Bush seroius as president. That is a lot of names. Hell why doesn't he just place the 2008 census list down. Jeez.

This guy is pathetic. You look up loser in the dictionary and they show his pastey face!

How fitting. Karl Rove wants to name names, but he does not want to name himself in the Valerie Plum CIA leaked information that he was tied to. Yes, what a believable book this will be. What I want to know is how is Karl Rove not in prison? Scooter Libby takes the hit, gets excused from serving time, Cheeny walks away, Rove walks away, and all is well. Now, he wants to name names!!!!! They should throw this guys in GITMO just before it closes and forget about him. That could be the best treatment for him.

I find it stunning that a criminal like Rove can now write a tell all book and make money on it. What a joke an mockery he is making of the general public. What if Bush really was not the elected Commander in Chief, then why not treat him like one who is a thief?

Karl, the reason the press and the public wanted to see you deep-fried in your own body fat has nothing to do with your being a Washington outsider. It has everything to do with the Lee Atwater/Genghis Khan, scorched-earth, take-no-prisoners, slaughter-the-women-and-children, burn-their-homes-and-their-food-supplies style of campaigning and politics that you practice. If you sow hatred in your actions toward others, you are bound to receive it back in their treatment toward you. You are simply a victim of your own ignorance. That said, I genuinely hope that you have a change of heart and mind that will help you treat others with dignity and help you endure the life that you have established for yourself. Good luck.

Sounds like the vow "to name names" is just this low-life snake rattling his tail as if to say, "stop investigating me or I'll take you down with me".

I am a libertarian who used to (before GW Bush) always vote republican. That man (Rove) & his neocon cronies have been so busy pandering to the God-Squad religious groups they've strayed wildly from traditional republican principles (e.g. strong states' rights, small central govt, fiscal conservatism), & I'm not sure if when (if ever) I'll go back to the GOP.

oh no! Rove the evil one is going to name people who were mean to poor little Georgie!

Wake up Karl–people don't dislike you because you are not part of the Washington establishment. Putting aside the fact that you are, or became, part of the Washington establishment, the reason people don't like you is that you are the epitome of Machiavellian, win at all costs, dirty and corrupt politics.

Just like Palin–Rove needs t o go away. However, he should feel free to add my name to the list of people that never accepted W as the legitimate commander-in-chief. I felt that way since the first Florida "fix".

Fool us once, Shame on you..
Won't get fooled again..nothing this whack job says means anything..

As if!.....who cares and why should we be even remotely interested in what this guy writes. Seems to me the guys he would hame are EXTREMELY smart.

Of course there were people who didn't consider Bush a president.
He WASN'T. Cheny and Rove were in charge.
Bush was and is a pawn.

rove has more enemies than bush ,in this country. put me on ur stoopid list,too,karl.

Wow!! Karl wants to name names??? What about when he's is ASKED to name names about the illegal things the administration he supports has done. Guess What KARL! The American people Gottcha! Your number is up, I just wonder about Simon and Schuster or is it really sellem ya sheister? Why would anyone want to propagate MORE of this lying crap. Haven't they seen Bush's polls? The people have had enough!!! Why not let the investigations ensue first...then see what kind of book would get written.

I think all the time of the thousands of severly wounded young mem and woman who are crpppled for life because of this so called commander in chief and his war mentality. Both Bush and Rowe should be tried for war crimes.

I buy a lot of books from my local library sales if they sound interesting enough. Instead of spending $29.99 on his gobbledygook, just wait a little while and you can get it for a dollar or two. I for one would like to hear what he has to say on the cheap.

People in Washington not accepting Bush as a legitiment president only gives me a better opinion of them. Bush didn't win for sure in 2000 and he had a questionable victory in 2004, he's not a legitiment president. Seriously, Carl Rove, you've lost any level of legitimency you've ever had yourself. What a rediculuos joke that guy is! Go away Carl Rove. We hate you.

Go get'em Karl!! Why doesn't it surprise me that the majority of the comments here on the CNN website are anti-bush??

Ugh! To think I'll have to see that porcine face advertised all over is making me ill. It's time to show your patriotic colors by not buying any book this year that Simon and Schuster publishes – especially not this one.

Karl, people don't hate you because you are a Washington outsider. They hate you because you are a fat, ugly, foul stinking maggot born of satan's steamy stool sample and that you orchestrated the campaigns of the WORST president in United States history. Because of you, our sacred document, the Constitution of the United States of America, has been torn up, stepped on, and used to wide "Dubya's" rear end. Shame on you for placing our nation at such risk. I pray that President Obama can 'preserve and protect the constitution' in the way a president promises to.

That's because we all know Rove was the puppet master pulling the strings. I get so sad when I reflect on the mess that his gang has wreaked upon this world and they got away with it because their boy Bush was such an intellectually shallow man who was blinded by his own ambition.

221 comments and only every other line mentions how Bush "stole" the election, even though every nonbiased recount declared him the winner and the Supreme Court backed the process. Nice try, again and again and again...

Add my name to the list! Sounds just like the Marxist-Republican thing to do!

Is this piece of crap still getting his 15 minutes??? No one took bush serious because he destroyed this country and should be in JAIL! Rove should be there too! This is a shame that this man profit from his crimes! What A SCUM!!!!! PLUS who cares what rove says, he is a joke and his 15 minutes ended long ago

Dear Karl,

In the words of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Know your role and SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

Bush is nothing but a "has been, never gonna be, wanna be, fruit cake, pansy @$$ loser." You and Bush swindled the Presidency and never earned it. I hope some how, someway, the Obama Administration finds a way to lock you and your puppet president away for LIFE!

You can also add my name to the list of people that will never accept Bush as a real "president." You can also add the 69,394,675 Americans who voted against McCain as those against the Emperor Bush and Darth Chaney. The Rebel Alliance has won and you've been dethroned DEAL WITH IT.

Sincerely,

We the People of the United States of America.

Go back to Texas and shut up.

The chickens have come home to roost Rove. All your revisionist history will not obscure 8 years of failure.As the so-called "brains" that put Bush in the White House; you are staring at real historians putting you in the loser side of Presidential politics. It is obviously not sitting too well. GOOD RIDDANCE!!

Remind me to never buy anything published by Simon & Schuster ever again. What a waste of $1.5Million.

WHO IS THAT PLAYING THE VIOLIN????????
JUST PUBLISH A LIST OF NON BUSH YES MEN, THEN WE WON'T HAVE TO BUY THE BOOK.

Shame on all of you who leave comments full of hate. This is the party of tolerance? I think not.

let's face it, Rove should be in JAIL, period.....
The only place he could get a job is FOX,
the same as for Heraldo....their both people
who broke the LAW....

Larry in
Houston

Add me to the list. When you steal the election with complicity from the Supreme Court, your brother and a corrupt Sec. of State (Fla), then appoint the people who helped you. Then run the country like it is some Texas backwater county appointing your friends -Gonzo, Brownie – then what do you expect.

In the end, who really did accept him as the President or CIC?

Who cares what Carl Rove thinks anymore. It is the past. Have you not heard Mr. Rove, the rest of us are moving forward.

Don't forget: on these comment threads, every day is cnn left-wing propaganda day!

An Honor Roll to be sure. I am sure that they are true Americans all (unlike those that supported the illegal Bush junta).

WE HAVE OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!!!!

THE REPUBLIC IS REESTABLISHED!!!!!

By the way, I hope Simon & Shuster lose big time on your book!

The rationalizations of a closeted self-loather who transfers his self-loathing to the American public, blaming us for his own feelings of inadequacy and shame. What's-a-matta Rovey-poo...upset that you never had the charisma to be a king, just a king-maker? Fact is Rovey-poo, we have good reason to hate you and wish for your name to be considered a smear of crap on the pages of history. If you'd only go away...

Oh, BOO HOO HOO – they wouldn't play with him - what a crybaby! Crawl back under your rock!

Any Idea what the title of the new book will be? May I suggest – "The Smartest people in the World."

I am amazed at the ugliness of most of these comments. First of all most of you do not have all the information regarding Bush's election and what happened, second, history may look at President Bush quite differently than most of you. Unfortunately, with most of our media the truth does not get out and if you rely on media only you have a real problem. Having spent time in different parts of the world, believe me you have know idea what goes on. The American people are naive and I'm afraid they are going to find out the hard what really goes on in our world. I just hope by then it is not too late. Being President of this country in these times is not an easy task – so give our Presidents a break please and that includes President-elect Obama. God have mercy!

Rats! The headline made me think he was finally going to come clean about the corruption he perpetrated under Bush. What a slimebag! He still has the nerve to claim he didn't out Valerie Plame. Just as OJ finally met his karma, there is a special place in some dungeon somewhere waiting for this shyster!

Slime away, Karl.

Just wait until OBAMA gets going with all his good old Chicago mob and gangster friends and his MIL living on OUR dime in the white house.
Give you a hint people Chicago and Detroit are closely related...

So what he is saying is that he will be writing the next telephone directory - Aren't those free?? Give me a break!

Maybe some people were hesitant to support Bush because he stole one and maybe both elections (with a great deal of help from Karl). There is nothing like listening to self-righteous whining from someone whose hands are as dirty as Karl's.

Rove, why don't you go swift boat yourself?

My..he's going to name names of people that didn't support the president with the WORST job approval in history INCLUDING Nixon? Shocking to think there were people that didn't blindly follow lockstep like Toadie here.

Why would people care to buy a book like this? I think Simon & Schuster are going to be out 1.5 million or so when and if it get published. I think it'd be about as exciting to read as wtaching paint dry is fyn.

He can add my name to this list as well. Karin B. or Portland, OR. I'm sure he already knows who I am!!!!

i am getting tired of this WACKO he need to go back to Texas where all crooks belong!!! BUSH will be there next month on the 20th.

Well, I never accepted him as my president. Name my name, Karl. I'm Jason. Nice to meet ya.

Rove, "the architect" of the biggest disaster (Bush) to happen to this great nation, should retire quietly and be pleased if he and his co-horts are not tried for war crimes.

When will I tune into the CNN ticker and not have to see this Egghead?

FINALLY.

Glad to read these comments. Shows how open minded all of my Democratic friends are to others ideas. Nice.

Don't read this book – you'll just buy into the $1.5M deal. If people didn't buy this cr@p – editors wouldn't make deals with criminals.

What a disaster Carl Rove is - as well as the whole Bush gang.

He won't see one dollar of my money, I don't care how much he trys to play up his book!!!!!

Their day is over!!!!!

COX NEWS!!! that's hilarious and i am sure a typo but funny none the less

Just reading through these blog responses makes you wonder if any of the Bush hate squad will ever move on. Whether there is a Republican or Democrat in office, does anyone really question that there is a Washington bureacracy that sees itself as the ruling force. Obama take note. They may say one day that Obama, is the new Bush.

I'll wait and download it for free. I bet those names are gonna be "meanie, poopie-pants, turd-blossom," and "stinker." You betcha, wink wink!

I would think that most intelligent politicians (maybe that's a contradiction in terms) would be happy to be on Mr. Rove's list. They would join the millions of Americans who feel the same way about the Cheney presidency.

jimz - President Bush did not win the popular vote = True. Number of people who think the election was not run correctly and thus not legitimate = TBD. It will be interesting to see how many people are acused and proven to have dissented from following President Bush because they think the election was not legit.

Who cares who Karl Rove names. Bush and Company (including Rove) are the biggest bunch of criminal minded slime. They and their bed partners need to be facing prosecution for all the things they did to this country to benefit themselves and their good ol' boy network. Bush was one of the most illegitimate presidents in our history and judging by the mess this country is in under their watch, he is also one of the worst. I cannot wait til they leave Washington. I just wish we did not have to pay the incompetant and pathetically dishonest Bush for the rest of his life for historically running this country into a toliet while he was asleep at the wheel.

Wonder if Valerie Plame will be one of those names...

Maybe when Bush said "you're either with me or against me" that intelligent Americans – who could think for themselves started believing that this man wasn't the best Commander In Chief. Didn't Bush have an approval rating of over 90% after 9/11? What happened to that?

Karl Rove claims people discriminated against Mr. Bush because he and his aides were Washington outsiders?! Rumsfeld, Cheney, Powell, etc? What is he going to blame the Bush Administration's critics for? Being right all along? Mr. Rove needs to come to grips with the disastrous results his and Mr. Bush's presences have wrought upon our country and the world. We all applaud all of those who he names as individuals with good character judgement and foresight.

So many ignorant people gathered on Obama News Network, like moths drawn to a flame. It has been proved that Barack supporters are so ignorant because they are informed by networks like ONN. They do not have the intellectual honesty to inform themselves of other views.

It is so easy to blame Bush but hey why think when you can blame. To those intellectual giants who moan about the economy – who was supposed to keep an eye on Freddie Mac and Fannie May – Democrats. Who put pressure on these organisations to provide loans to people who couldn't afford it – Democrats. Who laid the seeds of this mess – Carter the bright one. Yes the Republicans and Bush made big mistakes. I certainly won't defend that but Pelosi and Reid are as much to blame for inadequate leadership in support of the people of the US instead of pushing their own power agendas for Democratic power.

Although THE ONE has come he has not made you all perfect yet

Thank you "Ken in Dallas" , you wrote it correctly.

Who, in their right mind, actually believes that Armitage outed Plame!? Seriously, did Armitage sit and watch Libby's trial and say nothing, then suddenly had an epiphany and stepped forward? Good grief! What kind of fools do they think we are? They didn't camp out on his doorstep because there's no way anyone believed it for one minute!

Rove, I have a tip for you. The reason Bush wasn't accepted is revealed in the incompetence of the last 8 years. He ran every business he worked at into the ground. Daddy's friends always bought him out of trouble. Well, he did it with the entire country and his friends can't bail him out this time. WE have to pay the price. Thanks a lot, Rove. Keep your book. Thanks, but no thanks.

I think Rove is gonna need more paper, at least if he wants to be accurate and include the names of nearly the entire population of the United States of America who all collectively hated that blow-up doll of a President...

Karl,

You are a washed-up has-been apologist for what history will show to be THE WORST presidential administration in the history of the United States. Crawl back under your rock.

Oh, please. Poor Karl Rove? When the vultures attack one of their own, very few will offer any sympathy.

If G W Bush received from some quarters little respect as president it is perhaps less their failing than the acuity of their perceptions. Bush, from the outset, was small-minded, ignorant, and easy prey for the hard-line ideologues in his administration. His only gift for the presidency was his absolute but unfounded belief that he could do the job.

Delusion, thy name is W. (Rove, on the other hand, is simply a very cynical, amoral man.)

Yeah, Karl. Put me in your book, too! I'm the one who outed you as the Nazi whose face melts off at the end of "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark." That's YOU, dude!

Come on, Karl. I wanna be one of your enemies. Please. Please. Please. Name me!

Karl Rove is awesome...and come Janruary I will be taking a page out of the bleeding heart liberal playbook, by blaming all my personal and professional short comings on President Obama. Just like they did convienantly did during the Bush years. This is awesome having a scape goat to blame EVERYTHING on!!! Karl Rove is a genius and Bush destroyed Kerry in 2004 so that pretty much proves it. Obama is nothing more than a good speech giver

I agree there is media bias, evident in glomming onto everything this Midland Machiavelli has to say, EVEN NOW.

STOP covering him. Just stop. It's not "objectivity," it's simply chasing eyeballs.

eight years of these murderers and fascists spitting on the rule of law, six of which under a republican congress that did nothing but serve the interests of the wealthy and big corporations and religious fanatics, and they are still trying to act like theyre the party of washington outsiders. they should all be put in jail for the rest of their lives, karl rove included.

Go ahead and name names. No one is scared of you these days. Crawl back into the deep, dark hole from which you came.

What a joke. Instead of Karl his name should be Kaylee. Rove should put a skirt on and paint a yellow stripe down his back. He is a behind the scenes guy who arranges for everyone to do unethical dirty work and now he is whining because of the incompetent performance of the past 8-years? Kaylee, open your eyes. The world was a far better place in 1999 than it is is in 2008 and you played a big part of it. Hatred, gossip, and 3rd party attack dogs are pathetic. That is all you all knew how to do and look where it got our country domestically and abroad. Congratulations, keep on blaming everyone else....

Karl Rove is awesome...and come Janruary I will be taking a page out of the bleeding heart liberal playbook, by blaming all my personal and professional short comings on President Obama.

Karl Rove is a genius and Bush destroyed Kerry in 2004 so that pretty much proves it. Obama is nothing more that a good speech giver

So what Rove is saying is that He's going to out the people who didn't back the most unpopular president in history, thus overall elevating their status and making them hindsight intellects?

"I've got behind-the-scenes episodes that are going to show how unreceiving they were of this man as president of the United States,"

But judging how bad Bush's ideas have been, wouldn't this just make those who disagreed with him look good?

I guess all criminals really do get a book deal. K. R., O. J., and the list goes on.

Rove will be forever remembered as the primary architect of Bush's horribly failed neocon experiment.

So now he's trying to blame 'the establishment'. Too funny, as he and Bush have been the establishment for the past 8 sad years.

Hmmm... the press has treated you unfairly? You, who have us in two wars and the worst economy since the great depression? You are getting off so easy – you should be in jail!

Thank God and U-Haul the whole bunch of idiots will soon be gone. Were we fed a line of nonsense during these past eight years or what? It all came down to protect GWB and the heck with the United States. I know I speak for so many when I say January 20th can't come soon enough. As for naming names, these people should be hailed as heroes in this administration, not scapegoats. Dick Cheney needs a new hunting partner, are you up to it, Karl?

Who cares!

But please add my name along with 90 % of the world's citizens.

You can now add about 70 % of US citizens to that list.

And if anyone buys your book just to see them being named by you as someone who never accepted Bush as Commander in Chief has to be nuts.

Will you be also writing about the war crimes tribunal that will hopefully one day happen to try Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice and yourself as war criminals?

Poor Karl, so smart yet so slimy.

I only read this because i thought he was gonna name names of the crooks he worked with. Who cares who didnt accept Bush, he was not legally elected and he was NEVER my president. Cant these creeps just disappear back to the texas rock they crawled out from under.

wow, rove, what a compelling and harrowing revelation it will be to reveal all the people who DIDN'T ACCEPT BUSH!!! let's kill them all now for treason!!!!! oh wait, that was you...idiot

Hard to believe Simon & Schuster paid $1.5 million for this. May they lose their shirts.

Hey Carl,
Little surprise that Bush isn't viewed as a legitimate commander and chief. After prosecuting an illegal war, botching Katrina, and stealing American liberties under the so-called Patriot Act, he should be lucky not to stand trial like his buddy Sadaam!

Big Deal! I hope he does name names so I can send them flowers.

hmm i wonder why bush and his cronies weren't welcomed with open arms when he was inaugurated? Maybe it was because he stole the election and should not have even been there in the first place. I'm so glad that Karl Rove is no longer relevant

It's a shame that Karl Marx Rove and his comrade George Bush will never do time for their crimes against America.

And only a moron would buy a book by that blowhard traitor.

Definition of illegitimate election – when your candidate loses.

Frankly, I don't think Bush is going to go down as the worst President in history. Like him or not, he has dealt with an unprecedented number of crises in the last 8 years, many of which no other President has faced. It will be interesting to see how history views him in 30 years.

I'm not a Rove fan, but it will be interesting to the see his account of how much scheming and undermining was done, as well as the responses to his claims. It's funny, everyone says they voted for change, but they're ready to build statues in honor of people who did typical Washington BS and kept our nation from moving forward, all because they don't like Bush. So much for working together.

Like Bush Carl Rove is one of those people that tells everything you need to know about someone by the way they respond when his name is mentioned. Some of the nasty most vile people on this planet end up exposing who they really are when his name is mentioned.

tess, bill m, what will it take to open your blind eyes? nothing it seems so keep sleeping

Karl Rove is the guy who STILL talks about getting "beat up by a Catholic girl" when he was a child of what, 9? He's one of those nameless rabble of victims (credit: A Christmas Story) who's spent his adult life getting even. I wish all these Bushistas a long, happy life – out of the public eye.

Where is Van Helsing when you need him....

Why would Karl Rove be surprised that there would be people in Washington that did not accept George Bush as a "legitimate commander-in-chief". After the 2000 elections, half the people in the United States would agree that Bush was illegitimate.

What a waste of good paper. Is that the same publisher who did OJ's book?

Rove, you're a loser.

Who cares!

get over yourself Rove... you are the epitome of a true WEASEL, and it's too late to redeem yourself... time to pack it in, your 15 minutes of fame are officially over

karl Rove's book will sell because he said he will "name names". I'm not impressed. George Bush was not greatly accepted in WDC and other parts of the US, because everyone knows that Florida cheated and lied regarding their ballots. The Supreme Court (majority republicans) selected George Bush to be President. This was unconstitutional; the people should have been allowed to vote again. There was enough time between the November vote date and January 20, the inauguration date, to revote and count the votes. His reelection was caused by Ohio–a republican state. My friends and I were discussing which state would tamper with it's voting ballots in order for Bush to win. None of us guessed Ohio, but we believed it would not be Florida again–it would be too obvious. Sorry Karl, but, George Bush has not clearly won the Presidency. He managed to fail three companies; what would make people think he could run a country? Each time he opened his mouth to speak, I expected to see a snake's tongue whip out. He and his comrades misled the people of America. His and his comrades legacies will be sad and sorrowful.

Yada, yada, yada. Get over yourself. Karl Rove is as crooked as a dog's hind leg. People didn;t line up behind President Bush for a reason; actually several reasons – most of them if not illegal were certtianly unethical and unconstitutional.

Karl can't stand to be yesterday's news. You can put perfume on dog doo, but when the perfume disapates, you still have dog doo.

tess, are you honestly this clueless or are you just pulling our legs?

Here Karl,
please add my name to the list of those who "never accepted the president as a legitimate commander-in-chief":

Andy Nelson
Chicago, Illinois

Thanks!

To the idiots screaming that Bush was never their president, well the slimeball you just elected by hook or crook will never be my president. And that probably goes for a huge portion of the population. And I look forward to your whining and crying, when the financial windfall he promised the freeloaders of our failed society does not quite work out for you. A total welfare state will never work in this country. If you sell your SUV that you can barely afford, then you could pay for your own health insurance. It is a matter of priorities.

Rove is trying to create revisionist history before Bush even leaves office. His giant ego is staring down the barrel of true historians; who will no doubt consign the last 8 years as a total failure.As the "brains" behind gettint olde W. in the W

aside from the obvious fact that rove is inconsequential and irrelevant, his book only fuels my hatred for this administration individually and as a whole. it makes me feel even better about how i voted and to whom i lent my support. this past election was my first and i can't express how proud i am that i contributed to this election, as opposed to the "elections" in 2000 and 2004.
as a first time voter i really wanted to make an informed decision so i did my research, and anthony, it seems as though you need to do yours. it's so sad that people still choose to be so ignorant and self-centered in a time of political, economic, and social disorder and confusion such as this. i'm glad, anthony, that you were able to do so well under the bush administration but have you ever given thought to the rest of the country (in fact, the majority of the country)? we, as americans, need to take into consideration the lives of others, as well as our own. we need to take back control over the future of OUR country. the only thing we as voters can do is educate ourselves. i suggest you look into that, anthony.

Oh brother! Once again this fat-headed burp tries to put a spin on nothing. So what? Karl did the fact ever enter into you tangled mind that there are good reasons why many, if not most, people in Washington and the rest of the country did not accept the legitimacy of the Bush presidency? Theft is not a legitimate claim to ownership—or is that principle beyond your thinking, Karl?

Jack in France

Bush's presidency was completely illegitimate. Go ahead, Karl, name those names... and add mine to the list while you're at it.

Be afraid, be very afraid!!!!

Tit for Tat baby.....Get over it !!

i guess Karl doesn't remember all those protesters throwing eggs at Bush''s limo while chanting "Hail to the thief" on Bush's inauguration day in 2000, and that was before "free speech zones" were made law.

Fat little pig man, squealing like the swine that he is. Nauseating excuse for a human being.

Go home turd-blossom.

This guy reminds me of the bully in the movie "Christmas Story" that finally got the tar beat out of him.

Rove is nothing but a bully, supporting another bully (Bush). Then, when push comes to shove you find out they're nothing but big wind bags.

Does Rove think anyone really cares if he "tattles".? Rove's days are over. He's a has been that left a nasty skid mark just like Bush. Carl, don't go away mad, just go away... Nobody cares....

Poor Karl. Nobody wanted to be his friend. I sure am glad he got that million dollar book deal.

I think Karl Rove should just go away. Is CNN and its blogs run by Democrats?

MJ – San Antonio, TX

"a looser"??

Guess you've revealed your IQ!

Talk about a case of sour grapes.
Consider this Mr. Rove:
Perhaps the fact you are an outsider to Washington has nothing to do with it at all.
Perhaps, the american people will never accept the smarmy and deceptive policies of the current administration, of which you have been such a part.
Have you learned nothing from the events of this past election campaign?
Time to step down, Mr. Rove, you have no power here.

i'm excited to learn the names of the individuals who were smart enough to know what was actually going on. the "enemies" of my enemy are my friends. maybe everyone listed in karl's book should get to stay on in the new administration.

Here is a title for the book
"Great American Patriots who opposed the illegal Presidency of George W. Bush"

Umm, why does Karl think anyone cares?

Yep, all is well now that Washington will get back to being its normal self. Change you can count on. Rove is 100% correct.

What an evil man. He is so going to hell.

Wow, I didn't know we still payed attention to Karl Rove.

I will be sure to read the book and support anyone he names who did not work in concert with Mr. Bush.

This once again shows his character, and lack of it. What a sad excuse for a person in a position of any power at all. I would hate to have to call him even an aquaintance.

This takes the cake. This guy has been doing dirty tricks since he was in college. Read about some of his pranks in "Nixonland." What an unmitigated scumbag!!! Crawl back into the pool of human waste that you and the Bush administration crawled out of and shut-up. You are trying to re-write your legacy with the worst president and possibly one of the most pathetic world leaders in the last 100 years. What administration with so much (the wealth and power of the US) has done so little with it. The few thing they tried have been abject failures.
Have a look at their latest fiasco, the coast of Galveston, TX. Yesterday Condi Rice was saying that the war in Iraq was still a good idea. She, Rumsfeld and Colin Powell should all be tried for treason. They caused their own country to fall. Any time they dare show up in CT I will make sure that they are greeted like the traitors they are.

Speaking of naming names.. I think they should provide a public list after every vote in congress showing the names of every person and how they voted.

Your president stole the 2000 election, then stole the American people's credibility, money and future as part of your neo-con "fascism in the name of democracy" agenda. Go away & eat some freedom fries, fatso.

Wow all of the losers are writing books....Except for GW nobody wanted to write his.

If you still believe anything Rove says, you deserve whatever you get.

It is so nice to see that so many people have no concept of how their personal safety was protected by the so disliked President Bush. These people obviously have nothing else to do, even after Hussein became Pres. elect, other than to dump on George and Karl. Oh well, they will never amount to anything, especially high public office, so we can ignore them.

It's funny that all of you are saying Bush was never your president are the same people saying we should accept BO as our president. But then again, hypocrisy is one of the founding tenants of the Democrats.

Why isn't Karl Rove in jail?
What happened to that subpoena?

Guess what, Karl, you've got the reason all wrong. It would be far-fetched to think Bush and his little clique would be warmly received after all the irresponsible dealings and failure to be a leader of good judgement. You can try to generate as much publicity as you want, but I'm still not going to contribute to your corrupt circle by buying your book. I hope it rots on the the store shelves.

/* The hatred from the left never ceases to amaze me. Open minded liberals love to hate those they never met, never spoke to, and never heard from behind closed doors. CNN throws the word "Rove" out there and ever liberal with a computer starts typing. If liberals focused more on their own lives than chasing shadows they might just learn something. */

Let's review the past 8 years, Tommy: we've spend billions of dollars and thousands of lives on a poorly managed war. The economy's on the verge of collapse. An American city spent six months underwater. And the rest of the world hates our guts because of "screw everyone but us" diplomacy. If that's not supposed to make me angry, what is?

You were the face of the worst 8 years this country as ever been throught. That is your legecy..please just go away. Did you ever have one possitive idea, just one. name one just one item where you made America better. Go away !!

Goodness, just look at the bile and hatred from the political Left for Karl Rove. CNN zombies at their finest. Frothing at the mouth hatred for Bush, Rove, the military. The "blame America first" crowd in full view.

It'll all change for Obama. Rubber stamping media doesn't sell after a while. Witness today's bancpuptcy filing for the company that owns two liberal rags in Chicago and LA.

Walter, et. all, Rove has been right on the money all the time in his analysis. You guys just don't want to hear it because you'd rather hear the fluff and stuff the Obamas are spinning.
It'll be interesting to see who you can blame when the Obama regime can't get anything done even though they own the house, senate and congress.

Stephen,

Obama is a Constitutional Law scholar and professor, has 12 years' experience as a legislator, and presents a calm, thoughtful demeanor.

Bush is a cheerleader, an unsuccessful business man, and formar governor of a state in which the governor has no real duties.

Which of these men do you really think has more experience that might be useful in governing the USA?

I see the left is alive on CNN, I am glad the media got you a president
elected and history will tell what kind of people, do not their own research.

"Karl Rove is a great American." Dan December 8th, 2008 2:38 pm

LOL. DAN NEEDS A CHECK UP FROM THE NECK UP!

oh my...........should we worry now, buy the book....no...that will add to the $ you make.....let's see.......who will you out........wonder if they then will write a book...........who will they out.....that book I'll buy.
Can Rove get such books in jail? He will need one.........Maybe Cheney and Rove could share a cell........might even have room for bush......wait.....he might like to room with gonzales.......maybe they would all like to visit gitmo......oh that's were the "non-torture"...yeh right......takes place........but it might be shut down. As it should be .....
Oh well.......................................stay tuned..........the ongoing saga.

Free at last, Free at last, thank God almighty we are free of BUSH.

Why isn't Karl Rove in jail?
What happened to that subpoena?

whos cox news ?
Are the Children in charge at CNN.

Anyone who is not a friend of the Bush/Chaney/Rove Administration is a freind of mine and a friend of the United States. Not to mention probably an intelligent perceptive person.

I hate to burst Mr. Rove's bubble, but I know plenty of people who do not believe, and have never believed that Bush was the man who won the 2000 election. So, I 'm pretty sure that there were those in Washington who didn't believe it either. He's going to 'name names'. So what? Name them; but what people really want to know is what he, and the rest of Bush's liars will never tell them. I really can't name all the things that I have heard people say they want the real answers to, but I know everything will be done by Bush, and his people to conceal the truth. So, name your names, but no one cares, because no one wants to listen to you lie anymore.

What an ego pig. Bad, Bad, Bad, Who cares what this man thinks or says. Let them all go back to Texas.

I guess you all know that Bush stole the election because you heard it somewhere and kept repeating it until it became fact in your little minds. I would love for anyone to show some kind of evidence that Bush stole the election. 911 was an inside job too I guess.

People who are blinded by hatred of a person should not be given the time of day to comment on politics since it it evident that their grasp of issues is weak at best. (Being blinded by pure worship is just as bad, i.e. Obama).

People will read Rove's book and I doubt he is a "looser" or even a loser.

I guess the book is a CD of the US phone book. The lies and the treason belong to the ones who followed these two idiots.

so it begins – the rove attempt to re-write history. Just like that slime ball kissinger. rove is going to show how bush wasn't accepted? Does he mean by the republicon majority in both houses that rubber stamped his entire agenda? Or does he mean after it became so painfully apparent that rove and bush and the entire crime syndicate they were part of was ruining America? rove is scum. If you give him print it just adds weight to his lies against the Untied States. And he was in part behind the outing of PLame, and a whole host of other crimes. Vermin.

need I say more ? Karl Rove , Rush, and the rest of them should be brought before a tribune and be seversly punished for the calamities of the world today

The vermin descended on Washington in 2001 and were set upon by the leftover vermin from the last Republican administrations. Who cares about naming rats as long as the exterminator is coming?

Anybody in the white except this moron and the bigger moron (GWB).

Free at last, Free at last, thank God almighty we are free of BUSH.

Goodness, just look at the bile and hatred from the political Left for Karl Rove. CNN

ya just gotta laugh...

naming names legitimizes the fact the the bush administration was a joke from day one... and those that had the courage to disrail or challenge kind dunderhead's administration– should be publicly hailed as heroes.

I'm a little bit sad at how childish so many of the comments, here, are. Like Rove or not, he's an intelligent man with an interesting point. Our country was more divided then ever politically coming out of the actions and rhetoric of the Clinton era. And while Democrats and Republicans share responsibility for this, the press has shown extreme bias in their stance.

It just saddens me that instead of disagreeing with an individual, so many resort to spouting of a junior high playground.

Can you put my name in there as one who never accepted Bush as legit? I would consider it a badge of honor.

if rove wants to name names.well we are ready to hear.but why wont he answer congress suppena.THIS MAN IS GEORGE W BUSHES BRAIN.WELL THAT SAYS A LOT.SINCE BUSHES HEAD IS EMPTY .just like the rest of bushes maffia.1.5 million for a book this looser wrote .not in this liftime

Oh, boo-frickin-hoo, Karl – I am SOOOOOO scared. Just put your tail between your legs and get the hell outta here.

Don't we all pretty much agree Bush wasn't a legit commander in chief? Especially the first election he stole? If that's the case, Karl, add my name to your book!

Rove is irrelevant and a proven liar who has no ethics. He was the mastermind behind one of the worst , most secretive, and most damaging administrations ever. What he says is of little significance to anyone and I doubt anyone is listening.

Go back to Texas and shut up!

These same folks are the one demanding that conservatives give Obama a chance and embrace him as the President. That, we will do, because, as a conservative, I am open-minded and tolerant of those not like me.

I am sorry it took so long for the country to realize what a bunch of crooks and incompetents these guys were. And as a side note, I live in Central Texas where this nimrod is from. Word is his daughter told him not to come to Thanksgiving, (now that he is back in town) because she likes having the rest of the family there, and they won't come if he does. He is that icky.... even his own family can't take him. And I am sure this is not political, it is just plain personal. He is personally wanting as is the rest of that crew from here that went up there.

....or maybe it wasn't that he was an outsider to Washington DC circles...maybe because the current administration, of which Mr. Rove was a part, was never fully accepted by the American public, as they lied to and manipulated the American public; smarminess and deception are not qualities to be admired.
Time to step down Mr. Rove, you have no power here.

Stephen December 8th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

In 2 years or less…. We will have experienced the un-experienced running the country in President Barrak "Delona-Hussein" "Obama-Clinton". His ideas are from the past, using a staff of old Clinton administration folks. All Washington establishment all……. By the way. 9/11 happened after 9 months of President Bush's presidency (and 8 years of Clinton being in control with no idea what was beyond "I did not have sex with that woman….. BUT after 7.3/4 years of President Bush there has be NO attacked on US soil. Thank you !!! President Bush…
------------------
LMAO! Prior to 9/11...we hadn't been attacked on american soil for 60 years. Even CARTER didn't allow us to be attacked. It took FOUR planes to get past Bush...it took 6 carriers and close to 400 planes 60 years prior to attack us. Oh hell yea, Bush was brilliant! Keep believing your fairy tales you idiot!

I agree with what most of you have to say. I have never considered Bush as my President and as for Karl, just go away!!

Why did wait until now to get honest??
Maybe it was the book he wants to sell and make millions, so he is now honest and above board. He had more than 6 years to name names, where was he then, part of the crowd that was protecting the lies of the administration.

Print it on the soft paper so that we can at least use it as toilet paper...

Thanks Stephen, I could not have said it better myself!

To TommyF:

"If liberals focused more on their own lives than chasing shadows they might just learn something."

I understand what you're trying to say here but I would add that liberals should also learn to focus less on themselves and more on what they can do to help others just as Karl Rove has done for years.

You have made some great points. You and I seem to be the only conservative voices out here. It's good to step away from Fox News and spread some wisdom to those in need.

Great News the Political Slander Wars are on

Pins and Needles waiting for the attack and counter-attacks

Reacy to Rumble!

Karl is my hero. Give em Hell

While I don't consider George W. Bush as a great president he and I do believe his first term legitimacy will always be questioned for obvious reasons... President Bush has certainly not been the worst president ever. What about Andrew Jackson who perpertrated genocide on Native Americans? Or Andrew Johnson who was impeached and failed to uphold the reconstruction efforts after the civil war and helped along sharecropping and other new forms of freed-slavery. Point is there are plenty of others who dealt with the hands they were given much worse. To say he was the worst shows either a lack of historical knowledge or a purposeful disregard in order to promote an agenda or talking points.

Boo hoo hoo. Who are the whiners now?

You had your moment in the sun and you toasted the country with it. Your best bet is to get out of dodge before the new sheriff arrives.

Gov. Bush was never the legitimate president because he lost the first election. And as for Mr. Rove, he and his friends ARE the Washington establishment.

Name names? You mean the people who stood up to the Bush administrations suspension of the constitution? those who questioned the spying on our neighbors? Going to war with dishonest intelligence? Gitmo? GW won the election by a hair's breath and called it a political capital – come on people. Let him name names, I am sure there are some real heroes in that list.

Yes, of course he will "name names", as long as you are willing to pay for it. Compliance with a Congressional Subpoena is another matter, of course, since Congress doesn't pay you to appear and testify. Rove is the ultimate representation of Republican scum, a traitor who would sell his mother for 30 pieces of silver. I hope he gets indicted next year and is prosecuted to the fillest extent of the law. Just because he doesn't follow the law doesn't make him immune for his conduct while in thw White House. I present to you Richard M. Nixon.

Karl Rove....Icould care less what you think and whom you name. It seems you are no more loyal than the rest of the Washington group. Don't leave yourself out when you talk about back stabbing people.

Ahh, Mr Rove using his old tactic of fear to address the……well who actually listens to this guy now? And add my name to the book! I'm definitely guilty of being "unreceiving" of Bush as President. I'll even save Rove the research and provide my own list of examples to “incriminate“ myself. The date range for my acts of insolence are: Jan. 20, 2001, through and including Jan. 20, 2009. Let's all cheer that the rein of Dufus-In-Chief is soon coming to an end!!!

No, Karl.

The reason there was less interest after it came out that Armitage had been the original leaker is that he is viewed as a man of integrity, and that HIS leak was completely unintentional.

As opposed to you and Libby, who purposely did everything you could to expand the leak, knowing that since the actual leak was prior, you would not be on the hook for breaking the law.

It comes down to the difference between integrity and YOU!

Naming names of people who did not accept President Bush as Commander-in-Chief? Is he Kidding???? This is unbelievable even coming from Mr. Rove. All Americans accepted President Bush as commander-in-chief. We know this because so many thousands of Americans in uniform gave up their lives on the order from President Bush. We know this because President Bush was elected to a second term as our nations president. I think what Mr. Rove should have said is he will name the name of people who disagreed with Bush policies. This is just his means of attempting to ruin the careers of people who did not agree with him and President Bush.

I am appreciative of these people Mr. Rove wants to "out". If they were not there being a thorn in the side where might we be now?

Many of the President Bush's policies destabilized more of the world in more ways than discussed in the daily media. Almost demanding that Japan strengthen its military has shaken the stability in east Asia. China, South Korea, and North Korea have long standing fears regarding a militarily strong Japan, and for good reason. It seems that only us Americans have an abbreviated memory.

Treating Russia as an insignificant country has had some negative consequences of some enormity. Shoving our allies interests to some obscure locale in his policy making process has made our historically inexorable friendships unsure and placed the United States in a kind of isolated state.

So yes, I appreciate those who caused some pause in President Bush's policies. We could have been far worse of than the horrendous situation we currently find ourselves.

Does anyone think it is funny that the author of this posting says, "Cox News" instead of Fox News? haha

The "insiders" in Washington probably didn't accept Bush as their president because he wasn't elected president. He stole the election in an apparently forgotten bloodless coup.

Maybe Congressinal Medals of Honor could be stretched to accomodate all those bad, bad people. I would like to see who they are but refuse to buy the book - Karl Rove has gotten enough from this country. But then again, watch Fox News – I am sure they will give the book all the "recogniiton" it needs. Sean, Bill and the rest of the bottom feeders over there will have to have something to occupy their empty hours now that their direct conduit to the White House is being capped. Maybe he should talk to a congressional committee – oh, wait, he is immune.

Shut up Karl. No one wants to hear or read about your sour grapes whining. Bush is done. It's over. Let it go. It's time to move on.

What won't $1.5M buy???? This Cox's news interview is nothing more than a publicity stunt to stomp for his book. You go Karl, America loves ya!..................NOT!!!!!

CNN,

Why would you even give him some news time!! He is irrelevant!! I will be waiting for the day when Karl Rove, Bush, Cheney and Rumsfield be indicted for war crimes, genocide, stealing and fraud!!

I will do a citizen arrest on all of them!!

We know Bush is the worst modern day president........ and now Rove wants to name names of those in Wash DC that did not stand behind their man? Give me a break. Those were the smart ones perhaps. Let' face it, Rove was part of the Bush hack jobs...they are all a bunch of neo-con losers.

Rove is irrelevant.

Who in the world would believe anything that Karl Rove said?

What is Stephen smoking?????????????????????????? One good laugh deserves another. As a public service I am repeating this whackjob's comment in case you missed it the first time. Thanks, Stephen! Keep the laughs coming - and keep on smokin' what you be smokin', dude!!!

December 8th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

Rove should just go away. Did *anyone* believe Bush was a legitimate president?

Another example of CNN's fawning sycophancy to the far right extremists.

CNN doesn't have the gonads to tell their money-masters that they, CNN, are going to start reporting responsibly on people like Rove, because its the right thing to do.

i will not believe a word this man says not will i be part of giving him my money....what a cry baby.

Karl Rove is a great American.

Pick Me!

I didn't know anyone accepted him as a legitimate commander-in-chief.
Yawn.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Sorry, Rove, the reason a LOT of people didn't accept him as President was that he really didn't win the election in 2000, and did a crummy job all 8 years since the Supreme Court gave him the election. He's been one of the worst in our history. And the fact that you are "naming names" just is sour grapes on your part because your attempt to get McCain elected using the same tactics didn't work this time. You are the "man behind the curtain" and just like the Wizard of Oz, you are not mighty and powerful, but just a two-bit hussler that took advantage of the people of this land with your slight of hand and king-building. Go home, shut up, and give us all a break!

I'm confused here. Shouldn't he be in prison already?

who cares.move on .besides he is a big loser along with the rest of the rats.....peter the great

Hmmm...sounds like an "enemies list" to me. I wonder which other President had such a list...Nixon? Karl, does Richard Nixon ring a bell?

Contrast Rove's behavior with Obama's toward Lieberman and Hilary Clinton. We'll all be so glad when January 20, 2009 finally arrives!

Karl Rove is Joe McCarthy incarnate. He, Bush,Cheney, David Addington, John Yoo and every member of their lying, theiving administration should be in prison for the rest of their worthless lives for treason.

At least Marin Bormann had the decency to quietly disappear.

Two words describe this man: Rove Politics. They didn't name the dirty style of campaigning after him for nothing. Even during the McCain campaign's darker hours, they were accused of resorting to "Rove politics".

Carl Rove is the scum of the earth. He exemplifies everything that is evil and wrong with politics today. It would be lovely if he would promptly go away after January, but I'm sure there will be plenty of media outlets for him to sponge money out of.

The country would have been better off if NO ONE had accepted GWB as commander-in-chief. Karl's list is going to be awfully long.

America to the "Brain": Get out of Washington and never come back.

The first name on Rove's list who did not accept Bush as a legitimate president is VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY! Am I right Karl?!!

Maybe people never accepted Bush as the legitimate president because he wasn't. He was only president thanks to the Supreme Court stopping the counting of votes in Florida.

@Anthony: You are the epitome of a neo-dimwit. It looks like the rightwing's inability to take responsibility for their own miscues and failures is a genetic disorder which doesn't allow your ego, personality and reasoning ability to mature beyond that of a 9-year old. Its: Clinton's fault, the media's fault, the hurricane's fault, the terrorists' fault,.......always somebody else's fault. It must be nice to live in such a fairytale world, detached from reality, never needing to take any personal responsibility. Nice for you, Rove, and Bush......but not so nice for the rest of us that are now left to clean up YOUR mess.

You and your ilk have the same chickens–t personalty as your leader who, as a younger man, went around vigorously promoting the Vietnam war within the safe confines of his college campus, and then upon graduation ran and hid from stepping up and contributing to the war effort he so gleefully promoted to others. It takes a pathetically delusional person and political party to elect that type of disgraceful behavior into the presidency.

I wouldn't believe one thing this guy says, whether he puts it in a book or not. Now he's going to try to make us believe he and the Bush regime were mavericks and the reason we're in the shape we're in is because they were such outsiders that they couldn't get anyone to go along with their wishes. This, after all the lies he's repeatedly said. Go figure, his party still believes if you say it often enough, the public will believe it.

Re: Rove, "The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out, the worms play...."

Right, Rove. You were despised because you were an "outsider" – not because of your vile, underhanded, and unscrupulous tactics forever immortalized in the term "Rovian". Here's wishing you many happy days clearing brush in Crawford.

It would be an honor to be included in this book of american hero's who stood among the majority that opposed the worse president ever! I do hope we recognize every single one of them as worthy of being those who stood for freedom, liberty, justice, the constitution and american values as they have stood stead fastly against this man who has single handidly destroyed the USA! We will be the one's to rebuild her to her former glory, we will rise from the ashes and undo the horrid state of affairs that Bush and Company have put us in.

Please include me!

Darrel James Russel

I doubt anyone will buy the book anyway, even if he buts the name of his biological dad-Satan-in his tell all. Rove just doesn't get it does he. Even former Repubs like myself are glad to see this failed ship sink to the bottom of the sea after what they have done to America and the world. I would like to see them all tried for war crimes and rot in jail. Get that done and I will read that book.

In 2 years or less.... We will have experienced the un-experienced running the country in President Barrak "Delona-Hussein" "Obama-Clinton". His ideas are from the past, using a staff of old Clinton administration folks. All Washington establishment all....... By the way. 9/11 happened after 9 months of President Bush's presidency (and 8 years of Clinton being in control with no idea what was beyond "I did not have sex with that woman..... BUT after 7.3/4 years of President Bush there has be NO attacked on US soil. Thank you !!! President Bush...

Rove is a liar and a prima donna, and I will gladly add my name to the list of those not accepting Bush as legitimate. Legitimate commanders-in-chief don't steal elections!

Why purchase a book written by a looser??? Go cry somewhere else. He is just plain hateful he makes me want to throw up.

Just a thought. But before Mr. Rove vows to name names, shouldn't he be required to vow,(swear), to tell the truth.

Chris H

This is directed at TommyF who posted on Dec. 8th at 1:09PM EST:

Are you kidding me? Have your heard the crap that Rove has spewed out of his fat mouth? Like Republicans are so noble and NEEVVVEERR say anything negative in anyway. Please give me a break guy, seriously. Your just another butt hurt republican who has no logical response to what anyone is saying about Rove so you just start bashing democrats ("liberals") and CNN. Typical, very typical...

Sorry, but I won't be able to afford his book because I am suffering the effects of 8 years of George W. Bush! This man's attempt at selling more books is as lame as it gets, and I will not fall for it!

You people laughing about this won't be when those same insiders turn on your sainted Obama. BTW How is his friend, Tony Rezko?

It's funny to watch you claim Rove is a criminal when YOU HAVE NO PROOF OR OFFER ANY.

Bush received 51% of the vote in 04. Obama received 53% this year. pretty small difference.

Bushed– Your death threat is SO last year.

Those doing the name calling need to grow up and move out of your parent's basement.

i can hardly wait until the next few years when history will show that bush was the most effective president we could have had for the economy and after 9-ll. if he had been a democrat he would have been granted sainthood by the media for keeping us safe and preventing a stock market crash in the wake of natural disaster. instead, being a republican he is responsible for the plague of the dark ages! the media is responsible for his low ratings and now they are showing every day how dishonest they are and hopefully they willl all lose their worthless newspapers!!! good ridance to all of that bad rubbish!

I know nothing about the publishing house, but if it is a stock company, its board should be looking into why it is wasting its money on this book

So he's going to name the names of the people who didn't accept george bush as a legitimate commander-in-chief. That's going to be a HUGE book, considering that would include just about everyone in Washington. Can Karl posssibly be a bigger gas bag?

PS Simon and Schuster stinks.

Rove sucks! He's just blowing smoke anyway. He's trying to re-write a little history before he's held accountable after January 20th. The more he keeps opening his mouth, the closer to the top of the list he gets – the list of those who will be held accountable and made to pay the price for selling their soul to the devil.

Big whoo, wow! that will be a very heavy book because more than 2/3 of Americans will have their names in Mc Rove's book. It might take him years to finish........not holding for breath for when it comes out.

Emma , laurel , Maryland.

Frankly, I think Americans of both parties are sick of hearing from this treasonous weasel. I boycott any advertisers on publications who give him publicity. CNN, are you listening?

The names he names will be the good people, the honest people. They will be the ones who will benefit the most from the book!!

Um, Mr. Rove? How do you plan to make money selling the phone book? 'Cause that is a list of folks who never accepted Bushie as Pres.....

I usually comment on The Economist's message boards. First time on CNN and the lack of intelligence displayed in these comments sections is remarkable. I am no fan of George Bush, but no one here has anything insightful to offer. Almost everyone of these comments is full of petty cheap shots. Once again, I am no Bush fan, but most modern historians will attest to the fact that Rove is the most brilliant political strategist in modern history.

Say what you will about 2000.

But Bush was elected in 2004 fair and square. This is after 9/11, the Iraq war, the WMD scandal, and all the other so-called 'mistakes'. So, obviously a majority of voters supported him. Why is that? Because the economy was doing well then.

So, it goes to show that for all your whining about "illegitimate President", "illegal war", "blah", "blah", "blah", people mostly care about their OWN pocketbooks.

So, take notice all you Obama lovers if the economy is back in the tank 4 years from now...

biggest YAWN of the year.....

Oh PLEAZE!! Saint Rove making judgement on behalf of his Master?Who cares! Bush himself is to blame for many of our present-day woes, nobody else. What is this, a publicity stunt to sell books? C'mon on!

To all of you Bush haters...what goes around comes around. Exactly how do you think we feel about Obama?

Of course, we conservatives have better manners than you do...but it will be interesting. Obama is already caving and has yet to appoint any particularly liberal people to top positions.

It is going to be Bush III if Obama doesn't want to preside over the demise of the U.S., though it is possible that is exactly why he ran. It was certainly his platform.

Regards,
Gail S

Well I guess my name is in Karl Rove's book because I never accepted Bush him as President either.....

Unbelievable! And then not so much!

Go away Rove and take your book and shove it! No one gives a crap! Leave a.s.a.p. and take Bush with you. Just go away!

Hey Karl... You can add my name to that list, too...

Pathetic. Rove has a pathological need to inject himself into the public sphere, probably because he's incapable of earning money at any legitimate pursuit.

As a Texan, I can't wait for January 20th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bush and his cronies like Rovie, truly give Texans a bad name!

How out of touch with reality can he be? People are going to be PRAYING their names show up in that list to build their credibility. If Rove really wants to damage people, he should insinuate that they DID accept Bush.

Karl...go ahead and write your book(yawn) afteall you have nothing better to do right? Well maybe you have something "bitter" to do so here's a suggestion for a title: Snakeoil! The True Elixir!

The American public was so deliberately deceived about so much such as WMD but in truth there were WMD...three of them....yes three of them and they are George Bush...Dick Chaney....and Karl Rove.

The publishing companies I am sure are foaming at the mouth over this one; in fact maybe there will be a bidding war over this one which in turn may make YOU foam at the mouth! Maybe the Inquier will win so go ahead and write your book, name names and let the public know who had the backbone to voice to speak up again YOUR atrocities.

Boycott Simon and Schuster. The print industry is already in dire straights. Before you buy a book check the publisher. If it is Simon and Sheister then put it back on the shelf. We must make it clear that Rove and ANYONE from the Bush camp is too risky for publishers to publish.

Who wants to read a book about Karl Rove whinning??? What does he think happened to Bill and HIllary Clinton when they came up from Arkansas?? What a big baby!!!!! GO BACK TO TEXAS ALREADY!!

If I wanted whining, I'd visit a preschool.

Wah.......Wah.......Wah..........$1.5 for a political tabloid........."all the way home......."

yawn...
Karl: no one cares about you anymore. Go slither back under your rock.

Why isn't this man in prison?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz huh? who? wha? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

So the Emporer's tailor is going to name names? We've already (not) seen his handiwork. When all you say is lies, why would this be anything new or remotely interesting.

Why does he feel like he needs to explain himself? The damage has already been on his watch. Sending our troopers to die for an unjust war. He can go to hell for all I care. He needs to go back to Texas(The good old boys club) and stay away from the media. We donot need to deal with a bald old fart.

oh my Karl must be broke!!! and needs money, So why not write a book,so people with his mentality can buy it and make him some money. i am laughing out loud.

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be nostalgic for the Nixon-Agnew-Haldeman cabal. And yet... What can one say... It turns out plenty... At least

Nixon, unlike Bush, had a brain
Agnew, unlike Cheney, was sometimes funny
Haldemann, unlike Rove, spent time in prison... oh wait, the jury is still out on that one.

Ok, so I'm not really so nostalgic for Tricky Dick and his band of pirates. At least when they did stuff it didn't practically bring down the entire country.

Rove reminds me of the Lord High Executioner in The MIkado... "As someday it may happen that a victim must be found, I've got a little list". Please Karl, put me on your list.

Is it January 20 yet?

The place I'd like to hear Karl Rove name names is under oath, in Congress, testifying under subpoena. Anything else as far as I'm concerned is just more lies from a man who has proven he is wiiling to lie, lie, lie some more and keep on lying to gain and keep power. I can get horse dumplings free at the farm down the road, why would I pay good money for it?

I hate all liberals. False Utopia begins Jan. 20

Those that will be named in that book will be considered heroes for seeing Bush for what he really he is/was – not the President, should not have been the President.

So go ahead Rove, name names.

Why isn't this man in prison?

Mr. Rove, was your mom not nice to you? Learn to let go. It will be okay. We promise.

Bush wasn't recognized as legitimate by many because he in fact was not legitimate.

He lost the 2000 election. He lost the popular vote, and he would have lost the electoral vote as well if he had not sued to stop an accurate recount of the vote. Then he waltzed into office and, instead of trying to show a bit of humility, and to reach common ground, he acted as if he had won a landslide and pushed all of his crackpot rightwing policies - whose disastrous effect is evident. (Contrast how Obama, who actually did win a landslide - at least in the electoral college - is going out of his way to be conciliatory and appoint mainstream and even Republican cabinet members.)

include their addresses also – I'd like to send a dozen roses to each and every one ~

NAH NAH NAH NAH.....
NAH NAH NAH NAH....
HEY HEY HEEEY..
GOO-OD BYE!!!
YOU WEASEL.... Get out of our lives and take that dreadful form of dirty mudslinging and life-destructive politics with you... You and your vicious cronies have damaged the Republican image...Oh and while you're at it.. take the Religous Right back with you....Because they are NEITHER... Pack up all your HATE and jump back on "W"'s coattails.. Its how yot got into and how you should LEAVE Washington.

Can I get in on this list?

The Name Game: Rove, Rove, Bo-Bove, Banana-Fana-Foe-Fove, Fie-Fi-Moe-Move, Rove...Bush, Bush, Bo-Bush, Banana-Fana-Foe-Fish, Fie-Fi-Moe-Mish, Bush...Cheney, Cheney.........

You fill in the names: Ha, Ha, Ha..........

If Rove, Bush, Cheney or Rumsfeld writes a book in the next few years, they should have to donate all proceeds to families of those killed and wounded in Iraq.

Yeah, this is just another way for Rove to make money! I wouldn't buy his book for anything! What a loser!

For some reason no one cares who he tells on because he would just be snitching on his own peoplefor a change. Go figure

Maybe that's why he never responded to those subpoenas..... to busy writing his book.

Who cares what this liar says. He has lied so many times it's hard to know when he speaks the truth.

Karl Rove, you, Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld and all the "legal" rat attorneys you guys put in place should all go to Hell. You kissed this country's constitution and congress goodbye. May each of you in your dreams be visited by every american soldier killed and wounded in Iraq. Also, sweet dreams from the Iraqi civilians you guys killed. Do you even have a clue what you have done to the American people and the global economy? I have never never known such lying and greed and self-grandizing, may all of you go down in the history books as bad examples of what humanity.

first,second and third. winner take all. thief of the morning, afternoon and the evening. nothing new you are going to say. You have completed your plans towards Americans. Thank your GOD you were not born in Africa. By now you would have been dead. You know it thief. You can not run too far, you will be caught very soon.

Where can I sign up so you can name my name? I am proud to say I never considered voting for Bush. And I wish I could say the same for the rest of the people in my state.

Iincredible! I found only one comment defending Rowe and that was actually a barb aimed at liberals. Does that appear ominous for book sales?

Karl Rove is "naming names"? I would file this under the heading of "who cares"? Bush has been named by many sources to be one of worst Presidents in US history, and now people from within the Bush camp want to point fingers at everyone else for their incompetence?

It would serve Karl Rove to remember that when you point your finger at someone there are three more fingers pointing right back at you.

Oh please add my name to your list, Karl. Not only have I never accepted Bush as a legitimate commander-in-chief, I have never accepted you as a legitimate human being. You will go down in history as the architect of the WORST presidency in American history, and all the name-naming in the world won't change that.

Yeah....we're going to ask that you not leave the country Mr. Rove. We're probably going to have some questions for you once Bush leaves office.

What a shock that Dr. Evil wants to "Name Names". The guy obviously still doesn't get it, obviously never will. Thank goodness we will soon be done with his brand of self-absorbed paranoia, and that soon the only people that need hear from him again are his fellow hate-filled paranoids from conservative talk-radio.

Oh Jeez, here he goes again. No gives a flying hoot about who Rove considers enemies. Rove is part of the poison that's debilitated our country for the past eight years; Rove was part of the effort to steal the 2000 election. We know what you're all about, phat Karl, now go away.

When will the book be released?? Sounds like one hell of a read!!! An instant NYTimes bestseller is coming that EVERYBODY will buy.

I am looking forward to this book!

Perhaps Obama will get the same treatment in Washington....but maybe not. He claims to be an "outsider" but he is the most "insider" version of an "outsider" that I've ever seen. Long-time Washington insiders (Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, Clinton, Frank, Dodd, and more) just LOVE Obama.....so he certainly isn't an "outsider." The Washington Post loves him too.

Looking forward to reading Rove's book.

Enemies of Karl Rove . . . hmm. What's that gonna be . . . about a thousand volume tome?

At this point, I think most people would relish "enemy of Karl Rove" on their resume.

This is simply part of Rove's attempt to recast himself. This is just the "American" way of creating controvesy because controvesy sells. If you really want to change the tide, don't buy the book.

Oh go ahead and name names, Karl. A badge of honor for one & all.

Rove is dreaming. We didn't accept the Bush administration because they were the worst and least competent since the reign of George III. Most of us thought it was apalling that anyone would out a covert agent, and that whoever did it should be tried for treason. That had nothing to do with in or out of Washington. Introspection is definitely not the strength of this crowd, which refuses to take responsibility for any of the disasters – Afghanistan, Iraq, Katrina, the Economy – that they have caused over the last eight years. Finally, they are on the way out and all we have to do is refuse to buy their books.

Careful, Karl. All this blather might work off a few of your voluptuous curves.

Karl Rove. Mr. Bush's little puppet. Who the heck wants to hear from you now. Not me or anyone I know.

The only way we're going to stop this kind of ridiculous and divisive behavior is to boycott any book coming from Rove and others like him.

Why should everyone have accepted George Bush as their president? In his position as office holder, he made no attempt to be a president for all people. His politicization of the justice department is only one of many examples where he attempted to exclude loyal Americans. Because of his total partisan politics, Bush and his advisers made it impossible for many people to accept him as their president. The brilliant and respected historian, Kevin Phillips, was on C-span yesterday talking about how grossly unqualified Bush had been for the job. So if Rove's list includes such notable persons, it should be an honor to be named in such a way.

This is only a promotional stunt to stir up interest in an effort to bring in more money for his book. It's just like the Bush administration to try and sell 'public' information to the public about their own government. The names we want named will be provided free of charge during the congressional hearings, that will put many of these crooks behind bars.
