lower standards in DC
Because there's not enough stuff out there about Mr. Rove, I just wanted to voice my opinion. It's simple - whether or not he committed a crime, it's obvious that he did something wrong. Now in my job, whether or not I commit a crime is irrelivant; whether I did something wrong or not is the issue. If I don't follow policies and procedures I can get fired. And if I blatantly do something wrong it likely increases my chances of being fired. I don't understand why Bush is holding this employee of the White House to lower standards than those that are applied to me at my job. And Rove failed at what the he in his position in the government is entrusted to work with - information. If a teacher's students don't do well because he is not teaching, the teacher gets fired. If a construction worker builds a house that falls down he gets fired. If someone who administrates information leaks classified info., he should be fired.
Just my point of view of a common person.

Bush will just keep changing the standards so he can keep Rove there. At first it was "anyone involved in the leak" would be fired, now it's "anyone convicted of a crime" would be fired.
He failed the people. He failed in his official duties. But he hasn't ever failed Dubya. Welcome to Bush-era politics.
