ALBANY, New York (AP) — Reacting to a new book quoting Karl Rove as saying she will be the 2008 Democratic nominee for president, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday that President Bush’s chief political strategist “spends a lot of time obsessing about me.”
Other Karl Rove obsessions:
That he will continue to lose his hair and sooner or later (probably sooner) it will disappear completely and he will be known as “Billiard Ball Rove.”
That he will lose his battle with a bulging waistline be known as “Billiard Ball Fat Boy Rove.”
That one day when he is scrabbling around in his over-stuffed garage at home looking for a top-secret Republican political strategy memorandum he has hidden there, everything will collapse and he won’t be found for weeks.
That someone will secretly slip President Bush a forbidden copy of The New York Times and he reads it.
That Tom DeLay will cut a deal with prosecutors and tell all about congressional redistricting in Texas.
That Tom Delay will get a million-dollar book advance and tell all about everything (or even tell just 10 percent).
That Maureen Dowd will someday refer to him as “Billiard Ball Fat Boy Rove.”
That after successfully orchestrating repeal of the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution so that President Bush can run for a third term, Bush’s opponent will be Bill Clinton, not Hillary.
