Rove 'Demotion' Not Enough, Dean Says(CNSNews.com) - Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean cheered Wednesday at news that White House adviser Karl Rove will give up some of his deputy-chief-of-staff duties. Rove will give up the job of deputy chief of staff of policy, which will be turned over to Joel Kaplan, now the deputy White House budget director. Rove will remain at the White House in his advisory capacity. "After having his hand in nearly every bad Bush policy decision and nearly every scandal that has consumed the Bush White House, it is not surprising that Karl Rove was demoted this morning," said Dean in statement. "But, a demotion is not enough. From the collapse of the President's scheme to privatize social security to Rove's involvement in the outing of a covert CIA agent's identity while he still holds a security clearance, the President has abundant reason to fire Karl Rove," said Dean, who called for a change to the president's "failed" policies. "The Bush White House is merely engaging in window dressing. President Bush doesn't seem to understand that you can't just change the window dressing, you have to make changes in the Bush Administration's policies which have undermined America's security -- from the economy to health care, our families and the war in Iraq," concluded Dean.
