(CNN) - Enemies of President Bush take heed: Karl Rove is set to name names.
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.
"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," Rove told Cox News in an interview published Sunday. "I'm going to name names and show examples."
Rove signed a deal with publishing giant Simon & Schuster last year, reported be worth over $1.5 million.
In the wide-ranging interview, Rove also suggested the criticisms the president and his aides took were partly because they were not part of the Washington establishment.
"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," Rove said. "I don't remember seeing anybody camped out on his doorstep like they were camped out on mine. [It's]because he was part of the acceptable culture of Washington, and I was not. I was one of those Texans who came up. He was one of those perpetual I'll-scratch-your-back-if-you'll-scratch-mine Washington leakers. "
Karl is CORRECT. Bush and Company were hated and are still hated by the liberal Elite in Washington DC.
Bush and Company were hated by America's liberal MSM wolfpack press.
Here's Bush a Conservative Evangelical Born-Again Christian Republican being reported on by mostly Liberal Godless eltie Democrats.
Bush got mocked and sneared and snickered at by America's j"free left-wing press".....................Just the FACTS
Hey Karl, be sure to add my name as someone who never recognized Bush as the legitimate Commander-in-Thief.
I would expect this kind of tattling from Mr. Rove. I bet he's going to get his jollies off on this childish and unprofessional behavior. I got news for you, Mr. Rove. The reason you all got criticism in Washington had nothing to do with not being part of the Establishment. It's because you all are a bunch of crooks, liars, phoneys, and incompetents, and I'm sure every word of criticism was well-justified.
"...those... who never accepted the president as a legitimate commander-in-chief."
That's gonna be a big book! By my count that would probably be, oh, about 140,000,000 Americans. Me included.
B
Why won't this troll just crawl back under its bridge and die already?
Just treat Obama the same as the dems treated Bush. Remember Obama wants to be fair.
those who never accepted Bush as a president, they all should be rewarded and awarded for their brave actions. I hope Mr. Rove and Mr. Bush will eventually be held accountable for all their illegal actions.
If only we could get everyone to NOT BUY THE BOOK !!
(I won't)
Rove and Limbaugh may both have been fathered by the same man.I cant wait till hes in prison and Limbaugh is living under a bridge.
Anybody who is "outed" in Rove's new book should be proud of themselves. If i were a politician, i would be lobbying Karl to put my name in the biggest, boldest font at the very front of the book.
You're a joke, Karl. We all laugh at your expense. Ha. Ha. Ha.
So what? The man wasn't "a legitimate commander-in-chief." Is there anyone with half a brain who does think he did our country good?
Too late to white wash the administration for history. Second to Bush Rove is the world's most hated person.
If you want to look at some of the idiots Bush brought with him to the white house you don't have to look any further than the Pat Roberts school of morons as Dubbya hired 150 of them just beause they were Evangelicals. This is rated the worst school in America.
If he is going to"name names"in his book,the whole exercise will read
like a phone book.Not the best formula for the"best sellers list".
This guys is TRASH, and he works for criminals.
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, Rice; should all be locked up for crimes against the State as well as sovereign nations.
Any person that wastes money on his book is a fool.
A Rat living up to his true colors…
As long as the 'lame duck' leaves, that's all I care about. And as far as Karl Rove naming names.....who cares.....this stuff is in the past and why bother with the past when it's over and done with.....move on, Karl Rove.....the rest of the country has too, except for maybe Oklahoma and Texas.
Karl Rove is naming his enemies in a book.... A very thick book that must be and a bunch of fine men he will be naming. I would certainly like to know their names.
pathetic venomous loser!! but doing a big favor to the American people by naming those smart wise folks.
How do men like Rove and Limbaugh ever manage to get the attention they get? They are farcical and they are laughing all the way to the bank. Why do people listen to these incompetent, negative men?????????
Oh no!!!!! I am really scared.
As we all know, if you weren't with him...
We need dialogue at all levels. I am watching my GOP representatives. If things continue on the same path as the past (split down party lines) they will not get my vote.
Okay.....DON'T BUY THE BOOK !!!

Karl Rove is to blame for much that took place in the White House under George Bush than Bush himself. He wants to take credit for being the architect in the electing and re-election of Bush... go right ahead... I consider this man to be one of those borderline White collar criminals.... we'll perhaps never know all that this guy had his hands in....
Karl Rove is the lowest of the low. To be denounced by him is an honor.
HAHAHA – he's only worth $1.5 million. I love the sound of sour grapes.
Rove and Limbaugh may both have been fathered by the same man.I cant wait till hes in prison and Limbaugh is living under a bridge.
"...those in Washington who never accepted the president as a legitimate commander-in-chief."
he was never legitimate.
