Top Ten Cloves: Other Things Karl Rove Blames For President Bush’s Low Approval Rating

News Item: Rove blames Bush's low approval on Iraq

10. Vice President Dick Cheney’s Secret Bunker – If people could see how lovely it’s furnished, he’d get a 5-10 bounce in the polls

9. Tax Cuts – Should have called them something like “Clean Returns Act” to obfuscate who was getting them

8. The Purple Dye – Actually Blue and Kelly Green scored higher in our focus groups, looked better on the fingertips

7. Not wearing the Flight Suit more often – Our polls show it gives ex-military conservatives a boner

6. We know about Iraq, but it’s really Iran ... They’re behind it all – the people and polls see the mushrooms clouds on the horizon

5. Claude Allen’s Shoplifting – It brought the hint of criminal activity into the White House

4. Didn’t conduct enough Terror Alerts after the 2004 Election – Could have kept the media preoccupied

3. Jailed Wrong Reporter – Judy Miller was friendly to us; Should have gone after rabble-rousers like Brian Ross and David Corn

2. Not smearing Joe Wilson enough – We had some good zingers that would have rallied the base

1. My pending indictment – If only I could get a sixth shot at the Grand Jury, I could clear this whole thing up














Karl Rove said that even if he is indicted, he will continue to smear "any opponent" of President Bush.

"Handcuffs or an orange jumpsuit isn't going to stop me from defending this great President"
