    • eliot2000, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15Karl Rove: The first man to ever successfully polish a turd.
      • moin1097, on 10/10/2007, -14/+5Before him, only hillery accomplished that feat.
        • SenorCardgage74, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1We can assume then that the "10/97" in your name refers to your date of birth.

          Chode.
    • killerofkiller, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Jesus Christ. submitter.. way to copy paste a title that doesn't fit.. now it looks like Rove is the mastermind behind Ecstasy..
      • TH3W1R3D, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Thats how I saw it at first glance.
    • mdhauke, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1this article is a joke right?
    • SavageBlackCat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Does that count as asskissing or felching?
    • hittnrun, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1//Yeah, we're *****.//

      I am sure you aren't a virgin. Whiners and Drama Queens are always getting boned.

      lol
  • diggerydood, on 10/10/2007, -6/+66Remember it's now called Corporate Interest Media - not Mainstream Media.
    • diggitizer, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7The only reason Rove is leaving is to give a pro Bush soundbite and reason for media to put these 'experts' on tv perpetuating the 'BUSH IS AWESOME' speech given by Rove.

      Rove is meaningless. It is a ploy to get BUSH IS AWESOME on the TV, and then perpetuate that statement. Then, when this affects the failure's ratings, there will be more and more stories about how Bush's ***** face ratings improve, and then these stories too will improve ratings.

      Then 2 weeks prior to Bush leaving office 138 books will be published with the title 'Bush, Visionary Leader in War Time' and / or 'War Time President'.

      However, 16 days after he leaves office I will succeed in my mission to torture him to death with a reeses peanut butter / chocolate cup. Sure it will be hard, and I will have to use my imagination to kill him with this, but hell, there is as much fun in trying, as there is beating his body to a wet smear with a tyre iron.

      Dear 2034: How is Diggs comment system? Did they finally fix it? I hope so. Love internet commenting circa 1998.
      • floorman56, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Did you just say you were going to KILL a former president? Enjoy your talk with the FBI
        • miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I keep recommending assassination and haven't heard from them yet.
        • hittnrun, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0maybe the Secret Service doesn't consider you a threat being locked up in the State Hospital and all (or is it juvenile hall????)
  • brycelb, on 10/10/2007, -35/+7I love Think Progress. To bad they need to abide by there name and actually think about ***** from time to time. Sour grapes at it's finest.
    • palantir, on 10/10/2007, -5/+16The truth doesn't taste so good does it.
      • alliekins619, on 10/10/2007, -8/+3The truth tastes delicious, it's the sensationalist crap I've got to sift through to get to it that kind of ruins the experience.
        • polyGone, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6It's a compilation of clips from people you, probably, respect. You're right. It is sensationalist crap, but it is not thinkprogress that is spewing it. All they did was take some clips off television and throw them together. It is the overall neo-conservative agenda that uses these propaganda tactics in our media.
    • BlacklabelSAR, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Are you a Fox News watcher?
    • feckineejit, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2it's too bad, not to bad learn to spell conservative moron.
    • donkevin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2*Too, *their, *its
      • ShmoeTheHo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Kill me if i'm wrong here, but what's the problem with the contraction it's? it's = it is, apostrophe replaces the missing letter. This in no way supports the moron posting above. If you're going to correct, at least be correct about it.
        • miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Well, I won't kill you but I will correct you. You have confused the possessive pronoun "its" with the contraction "it is". "Its" is the possessive form of it. One should only contract with an apostrophe when you are saying "it is" . He was implying possessive form, thus should be "its". It's a little-known grammatical fact.
  • Dumbledorito, on 10/10/2007, -4/+36In time, that "MC Rove" clip is going to become as infamous as Nixon's "I am not a crook" footage.
    • DavidBGie, on 10/10/2007, -5/+2Dream on ... Rove is going to be running Bush's library also. Bush WILL go down in history as one of the greatest presidents along with Reagan. All you libs have is a perverted lying president named Clinton.
      • fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3"Bush WILL go down in history as one of the greatest presidents along with Reagan."

        hahahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

        Thanks, I needed a good laugh.
      • ichbinladen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I laughed out loud. Even still, I'm sad that you're so deluded.
  • backoff34, on 10/10/2007, -5/+68***** Rove and the media.

    They are about as far from fair and balanced as Iraq is from being free.
    • laTda, on 10/10/2007, -4/+4Karl Rove should now be hunted down like the dog he is.

      Most of the country hates his guts.

      He's a crook, a liar, a cheat, a puke, a dick, a moron, and not to mention, a sorry excuse for a human being.

      And lets not forget self centered, egotistical, hypocritical, delusional, self righteous, bigoted, and a total ass wipe to boot!

      I say, good riddance to bad rubbish.
  • dgrant, on 10/10/2007, -8/+41Karl Rove's tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried. Ever.
    • ichbinladen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Well... he did cry yesterday. But luckily his radioactive tears could not be harvested for good.
  • chubbybubba, on 10/10/2007, -20/+7lol.... he did kick some democrat ass. I don't even think bush thought he would get re-elected.
    • Waiting2awake, on 10/10/2007, -7/+13 It isn't kicking some ass when you break the rules. Those rules are there to protect the electorate - to support his breaking of the rules is simply insane.
    • LuciusBrutus, on 10/10/2007, -5/+10I'm sure our current crop of long standing democrats wouldn't mind using him as their advisor. I have no doubts they only care about rules when it suits them, just like the Bush admin.
    • BlacklabelSAR, on 10/10/2007, -4/+7#1. Bush wasn't "elected" he was appointed after a rigged election.
      #2. The democrats are no better. We need to stop thinking in terms of Republicans and Democrats, the illusion of choice. Wake up.
      • TheEditor1, on 10/10/2007, -6/+3#1 you are an idiot wrapped in a moron
        #2 when in doubt, consult #1
        • Waiting2awake, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Does it ever concern you that your opinions are so far from reality that you(and your ideals) have been reduced to name calling and generally 3rd grade behaviour...

          Congrat's - you are a credit to your race.

          • MalenfantX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Since when is Republican asshat a race?
    • brufleth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Rove has been linked to several scandals involving the smearing of Republicans too. (see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Rove#2000_George_W._Bush_presidential_campaign_and_the_sale_of_Rove_.2B_Co. for examples) Bush was not even the best Republican on the block back before he his "election" (he was in fact appointed) to the presidency. Rove worked to hurt any political candidates which stood in the way of the Bush presidency. The color of their campaign buttons didn't make a difference to him.
  • DJCult, on 10/10/2007, -4/+23I'd like to shake the hand of the man who is the mastermind behind E. My pills have been good recently.
  • SickMonkey, on 10/10/2007, -1/+54A guy like Rove doesn't retire voluntarily to "spend more time with his family". Trust me, he's going for a reason, and we'll probably find out why soon...
    • lithuin, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22My theory is that his current body is wearing out, and he's got to find a fresh corpse and 13 newborn babies to perform the right of Ashen-Llama to reinvigorate his dessicated body before people start noticing the excess makeup and funny smell.
      • supermanred, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15Nah, he's immortal. Dick Cheney bit him.
  • kryptman40k, on 10/10/2007, -4/+22***** the media indeed!
    i put my money where my mouth is an canceled my cable. I'm sick of hearing CNNs *****!
    • supermanred, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13No cable at my house anymore either. I can get most of the crap I watch off over-the-air free HDTV and the rest I obtain by downloading the shows....um......from itunes yeah thats it.
    • fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Why don't you just get your news from the internet without preventing yourself from watching regular TV shows?
  • oracleofmist, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5It like talking to uh..uh..uh a firehydrant
  • Monolith4, on 10/10/2007, -25/+6lol, so many angry, angst-filled liberals here. You're pretty short-sighted if you cant give credit where its due, even to Rove... he did manage to get his boy 8 years in the whitehouse, after all.
    • Waiting2awake, on 10/10/2007, -5/+11 So could anyone else, if they had moral and ethical and legal lobotomies. Are you so insane as to not realize those laws that he has been breaking to keep "his boy", and "your team" in office are the same laws to keep you guys from a dictatorship...

      DUMBASSES!! Man, America doesn't deserve to be saved.
    • DangerCollie, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8To Monolith the ends justify the means.
    • cortlandjim, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Please someone save America from assholes that think he was a genius. One day your going to need your Civil Liberties and wonder were they are! I bet then you will be wishing your team hadn't bent you over in the name of "protection from terrorism".
      • meechwings, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2Hey, I hate this administration as much as almost every other Digger, but you gotta give the guy credit - he put an imbecile into the presidency, not once, but twice.
        • wendelgee2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Yeah, and Hitler conquered Poland AND Austria. History judges the morality of your actions, not just the scale.
        • moin1097, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3You can't give him credit for the second time because the other guy quit the race before it was over.
        • brufleth, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2@ moin1097
          In fairness I think the entire party quit the race starting with the nomination.

      • moin1097, on 10/10/2007, -8/+3Why do you love the terrorists more than America?
        • Tzombo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5George W Bush is a Manchurian candidate for Osama bin Laden. He could not have helped Al Qaeda out more without arousing suspicion.
        • ShmoeTheHo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1If you actually believe that the "other side" LOVES the terrorists, then you are no better than them. If you act as though you fear terrorists/terrorism, then they've already won.

          Isnt the point of terrorism to spread terror/fear? Sounds like it had a direct line to you.
    • BlacklabelSAR, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1You have really bought into the illusion of choice in American politics. Do you feel represented?
  • karenw, on 10/10/2007, -7/+23Karl Rove can suck my dick.

  • Satanael, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14What the hell. Have I slipped into the Twilight Zone?
    • HarryBauzonia, on 10/10/2007, -11/+5Nah.
      It's just another "thinkprogress" emotion-fest.
      I like these posts because I can get an idea of how our enemies think, making it easier to fight them. It's like fighting babies though.
      • wendelgee2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2What enemies? We're all Americans.
        • HarryBauzonia, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3I took an oath once to "defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;...". It's my choice to uphold that oath until I die.
          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_of_enlistment

          So I don't care what nationality you are. If you threaten my (our) country, I will fight you.
          Thinkprogress is in the business of lying in order to hurt the United States, so they and their supporters are enemies.
          • mightydavefish, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3That's right, you just keep hitting that crack pipe and watching Fox news.

          • ShmoeTheHo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2You truly ***** up your definition of threat then. I don't care what service you're in or what oath you took, it doesn't make you impervious to flawed logic.
        • wendelgee2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+370% of America thinks that your side is the "enemy." (Bush's approval rating is about 30%.) Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, you should try to figure out why so many people disagree with you? Not that you have to agree with them, but it's important to have some empathy for your fellow citizens and figure out what their point is and why they think that way, rather than just labeling them "enemies." Have you ever thought that maybe both sides lie? Or, more to the point, neither side lies, but both sides highlight the facts that they think are important and ignore other facts? Have you ever thought that maybe Thinkprogress has good intentions, but those intentions might just be different from your own personal agenda? Are YOU the United States? Is Karl Rove the United States? Is George Bush the United States? Is the Republican party the United States? Is the Federal Government the United States? The answer to all of those has to be "no." So, how does a piece about Karl rove hurt America? And in this case, what is the lie that ThinkProgress is telling and specifically how does that lie hurt the United States?
  • Kinkistyle, on 10/10/2007, -6/+14Well he DID get a monkey elected Leader of the "Free World", so by some accounts he could be considered a sinister mastermind of tremendous proportion.
  • ArchAngel21x, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13It is odd that the media suddenly admires him the moment he resigns.
    • LuciusBrutus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6That is because they have spent 8 years fearing him. Now they can breath with a bit less fear.
    • ichbinladen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1From what I saw they thoroughly trashed him on CNN. I still loathe that ***** network.
  • seraph582, on 10/10/2007, -14/+2lol @ "the mastermind behind E"

    Digg me down: i really love how badly he pissed off liberals - especially on Digg. I'd like to know who pisses of the repubs as badly, too, though.
    • Clerg, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4What have you been living under a rock for the last 15 years..or watching Fox News? Bill Clinton.
      • moin1097, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4LOL, you're afraid of a news channel.
        • Tzombo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Is everyone here 14?
        • ShmoeTheHo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Not surprising, most fox news watchers fear the quote "liberal bias" unquote that the WHOLE REST OF THE MEDIA has against them, personally.

          No matter how popular FNC may be, it isn't a free pass for them to distort news as they please. e.g. changing the R to a D when the Republican speaking isn't reading the week's talking points verbatim.
    • RyGuyX, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Are you saying you find the ability to piss people off an admirable trait? ... That's ***** up, dude.

      Ya know Hitler was really good at pissing off liberals too. Not drawing parallels - just sayin'
    • ShmoeTheHo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You guys seem to get your panties in a bunch each time Michael Moore releases a new movie, or says anything. I'd throw him on your list.
  • deathproof, on 10/10/2007, -6/+40He said he resigned to spend more time with his family. I bet the troops wish they could do that. Thanks for nothing Karl Rove you pussy bitch.
    • moin1097, on 10/10/2007, -9/+2Like you care about the troops.
      • deathproof, on 10/10/2007, -5/+5Excuse me? who the ***** are you? Do you know me? My ***** brother is in Iraq you stupid bitch along with many of my friends. Like you care about the troops. Your replied comment to mine shows that you in fact do not! Moin1097? ***** YOu!
        • moin1097, on 10/10/2007, -8/+4You're liberal. You hate America and want all of our soldiers dead. And I don't believe the "brother" comment for a second. Liberals lie as easily as they breathe.
          These are the facts. They can not be disputed.
        • wendelgee2, on 10/10/2007, -5/+2Oh. So that's what a troll is. I get it. You don't believe this crap at all, you're just trying to start flame wars. Well...blocked. Now you'll have to change your handle every 2 hours, just like your friend o0890o or whatever his name is today.
  • ssravp, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10Agree with him or not Karl Rove knows how to get people elected. The only example you need is the last presidential election.
    • DangerCollie, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14If Karl Rove is what we've become, then we are pathetic.
    • davecor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Go watch the "War Room" and you learn that James Carville and George Stephanopolous could have gotten Mr. Potatohead elected president.
      Campaigns and elections have become such a refined science - watch for every election to be close to 50/50 with massive court battles afterwards.
      • sdsurf, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Watch for it? As if that's news... Gore is still whining about having the election "stolen" from him. Pretty sure there was a landslide of lawsuits after the last one too. Problem is, the Democrats just can't handle the fact that they can't win at the ballot box, and therefore, when Democrats don't win, someone MUST be "cheating".
        • ichbinladen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1They'll be winning plenty next year, and you can eat your words then. Eat your ***** too, since you're so full of it.
    • Clerg, on 10/10/2007, -5/+5Karl Rove didn't get Bush elected, John Kerry did. All Rove did was make sure the election was fixed in Ohio because they knew they couldn't pull the same ***** in Florida again.
      • moin1097, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2It didn't have to be fixed. KERRY QUIT THE RACE.
      • sdsurf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2oh my God... stop the madness with the fixed election in Ohio. There is exactly zero proof of that. Libs saying over and over to themselves that it was rigged unfortunately does not make it true.
        • Clerg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"There is exactly zero proof of that" Evidently you have been watching Fox news too much there is a massive amount of evidence that the "liberal media" refuses to report on. Here is what the House Judiciary committee said about the Ohio election:
          The wrongs exposed are not mere dirty tricks (though Bush/Cheney also went in heavily for those) but specific violations of the U.S. and Ohio constitutions, the Voting Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act of 1968, the National Voter Registration Act, and the Help America Vote Act. Although Conyers trod carefully when the report came out, insisting that the crimes did not affect the outcome of the race (a point he had to make, he told me, “just to get a hearing”), his report does “raise grave doubts regarding whether it can be said that the Ohio electors selected on December 13, 2004, were chosen in a manner that conforms to Ohio law, let alone Federal requirements and constitutional standards.” The report cites “massive and unprecedented voter irregularities and anomalies” throughout the state—wrongs, moreover, that were hardly random accidents. “In many cases,” the report says, “these irregularities were caused by intentional misconduct and illegal behavior, much of it involving Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell, the co-chair of the Bush-Cheney campaign in Ohio.”
          If Ohio has nothing to hide how come they just destroyed all of the election results in direct violation of a court order to preserve them. Lets see your proof that it wasn't jackass, I bet the judiciary committee knows a little more about what happened than what Bill O'reilly is telling you.
    • Tzombo, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1You say that like it's a good thing that someone can get a retard elected.
  • davecor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Find it strange that the media are gushing about Rove? I bet every network is currently courting him as a contributor/ reporter/ late night talk-show host.

    The collective media will drop to their knees and open wide to anyone that they think will generate ratings, especially now that they are losing to the internet.
    • zouden, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1WTF we're talking about Karl Rove not Rove McManus. ***** a brick!
  • juckru, on 10/10/2007, -9/+5Well he DID get a monkey elected Leader of the "Free World", so by some accounts he could be considered a sinister mastermind of tremendous proportion.
  • fightfreedom, on 10/10/2007, -12/+3Rove has fought the good fight to secure American Freedom, but now the time has come for him to continue his mission from behind the scenes. Terror has not yet been defeated, and the liberals are determined to ensure its survival to further their far left agenda. Let us pray that Rove has the strength to unite and conquer, to promote the spread of freedom, and to pursue the right thinking policies that make this the greatest country in the world. The French won't know what hit 'em.
    • meechwings, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5I'm sorry, you must've posted to the wrong site. You might want to try http://www.foxnews.com/oreilly/ instead.
    • diggbot7, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3You're doing a bang-up job fighting against freedom. Nice work.
    • Tzombo, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0This administration is the best thing that could have happened to America's enemies (hint: that does not include France)
    • miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You forgot the sarcasm tag.
  • cortlandjim, on 10/10/2007, -2/+12I just call him the "Scumbag who helped steal at least one election, maybe more." Can't wait for the truth to come out.
    • AlexWills, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Bush would have won the popular vote too had they counted the rest of the California absentee ballots, cast by predominately conservative voters.
      • sdsurf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Add to that the fact that it doesn't ***** matter who wins the popular election - that's not how our government elects presidents. Never has, never will. Claiming that you "won" because you used a criteria that is irrelevant is asinine. Had the election gone the other way (and it certainly could have - it was close), the Dems would be cheering the praises of the electoral college system and how wonderful it is. All elections are "stolen"... unless a Democrat wins. Notice the distinct lack of complaining about the evil Diebold voting machines this past election. Suddenly, the devil machines that disenfranchised so many people nationwide worked flawlessly and fairly counted the votes needed to regain control of congress. Hmmm....
        • fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1No, if the Democrats had won by the electoral college, they obviously wouldn't have complained, but they wouldn't be singing it's praises. I have yet to hear a good argument for the use of the electoral college, which gives some voters more importance than others, in the modern system. Do you have one?
  • lithuin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10FTA: "generally, where there’s brains, there’s Rove.”
    Politics aside, am I the only one who thought "Zombie" when he read this?
    • miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!!!

      Heeheehee...
  • KhanneaSuntzu, on 10/10/2007, -5/+7He is a collaborator that cooperated with the Bush regime at the highest level. War crimes. Treason, Corruption, Goss negligence of duty, Crimes against humanity, Embezzlement, Lying under Oath and that is only the start of it. But we in the netherlands will gladly take him off your hands and try him in full accordance with international laws. Life imprisonment I gather. He will glady take that option; it'll be a firing squad or a lethal injection if he stays in the US.

    • ScottoGato, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2I think we're waiting for Bush to be out of office before we send them to you. We'd like to save on our shipping charges, and sending in bulk might help us save some money.
    • sdsurf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Thanks, jackass, but we don't follow international laws, as much as you all would like us to. We follow our own. Your international courts have no bearing here, nor should they.
  • Scintillatus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17I was unaware that "if you don't vote for us YOU MIGHT DIE" was the height of political genius.
    • fishbert, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It works better than, "let me explain my nuanced position on the issue to you..."
      To get elected, it seems you have to lower your campaign to the same level as our collective intelligence as a nation. Realizing that was Rove's genius.
  • nihilite, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Damn would I love to kick chris matthews in the nuts. Doesn't anyone have the courage to really profile all the corrosive bull$#!+ this guy has sown? he is a huge contributor to the impossibly divisive nature of american politics today.
  • nastronomical, on 10/10/2007, -9/+6Liberal Media and DIGG react like Pavlov's Dog Over Rove:
    • supermanred, on 10/10/2007, -4/+6Liberal media? What Liberal media? You mean the internets right? The media of the people for the people BY the people? Because the GOP Republican Coroporate Interest Media is what I see on TV. Colbert and Stewart FTW!!!
    • BlacklabelSAR, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1No, it's Americans that it makes angry. Or do you own Hallibutron stock?
    • fishbert, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1No, people who use catch-phrases such as "liberal media" react like Pavlov's dog in that these talking-point phrases are designed to provoke an adversarial gut feeling of distrust and loathing for the purposes of dismissal without reasoned consideration of merit or the lack thereof -- you know, like the dog salivating just because he heard a bell.
  • jason469, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2Rove got our current President two terms, you may not like Rove, but you've got to admire someone that can get you in twice with the people.
    • BlacklabelSAR, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Wake up citizen.
    • Tzombo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1So getting the worst possible candidate elected is a good thing in your book?
  • rmmcclay, on 10/10/2007, -5/+5Rove helped rig two presidential elections and is therefore by proxy responsible for every single illegal invasion-related death in Iraq.
  • Aggronaut, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Sooooo....If you can't agree with you politically then there's so way they could be smarter then you, much less a genius. If you wanna bitch about fair and balanced, start with a mirror...
    • BlacklabelSAR, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Are you happy that our goverment, both parties, have been subverting The Constitution? It belongs to all of us.
  • r2700, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1If you knew what he was capable of, would you want to say anything bad about him in front of a camera?
  • chase001, on 10/10/2007, -4/+6I'll have to admit in the short term Rove's tactics were very effective. Merging the Fascist and Theocratic agenda in an unholy alliance got the Repugs the House and the Senate for a while, but in the end it backfired and now the Dems are set to control everything for a very long time just like after Watergate.
  • way2muchsense, on 10/10/2007, -5/+5I don't know if it's so much praise as admiration for the qualities that made him effective. One might admire Adolf Hitler in much the same way.

    Yeah, I Godwined the thread. I lose. I know.
    • Tzombo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Use Napoleon the next time. Everyone always says he was a military genius but he left one army to rot in Egypt and another in Russia.
  • dupswapdrop, on 10/10/2007, -3/+3Run Karl Run grab that money and run!
    He is just going into hiding so congress can't send his ass to jail.
    What does the brave knight do? Run and hide run and hide!
    • moin1097, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3What congress would that be? Not the spineless one we have now.
    • StarlessKnight, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1You mean Rove is Cutting and Running?
  • wendelgee2, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Boy genius manages to squander hopes of "permanant Republican majority" in less than 8 years. Boy genius causes his party to lose control of congress for the first time since 1994. And when the democrats take the Whitehouse, it will be the first time they have contolled both the Executive and Legislative branches since 1994. Way to go, Karl...you managed to completely screw your party over in less than a decade.
    • moin1097, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2Stay away from the blue acid.
      • wendelgee2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1That's all you've got? Which of these facts do you dispute?
  • BattleStar47, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Rove is probably going to work on the next presidential election. That means that if journalists want access to the campaign, they are going to have to be buddy-buddy nice-nice with Rove.

    That's what this is about.
  • PieterOpie, on 10/10/2007, -7/+5The man is a model Nazi. He has perfected and adapted their techniques to a new level. Hitler would be proud to know him I'm sure. He is a classic evil genius. He is responsible for the worst period of American history and shame. Bush is lost without him - thank god. Maybe now things will settle down.... UNLESS there is another 9/11 by some miracle (hmmmm....) and Bush declares a state of emergency and assumes total and absolute control over the nation. Many steps for such a situation are already in place. If that happens you can forget your 2008 elections. Bush would not be easy to evict from the Whitehouse in that case. One problem though.... who would be Bush's brain? Cheney? SHUDDERRRRR........

    Meanwhile Herr Rove is hanging up his swastika and going back to torturing insects and small animals for fun.

    I strongly suggest impeachment before any new so-called attack on America. It might be the last opportunity left to save what is left of freedom and democracy. Hurry up......
  • krnldmp, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1He'll always be Turd Blossom to me and I know damned well he's no genius. Anybody could get the rules bent as far. All you need is the right pack of scumbags. In other words he got lucky. And wouldn't you know it, looks like his luck has run out.

    See you at the senate hearing(s) Wonder Buoy.
  • ren1999, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10The people who praise Rove are also enemies of America who should be soundly chastised with protests.

    Justice demands Rove answer for directly endangering the lives of CIA agents in the field.
  • BlacklabelSAR, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Since Rove will be having some free time soon, I think I'll invite him over to my place for a little chat.......I want to "Liberate" him.

    And we all know that "Liberate" can only mean good things, Bush/Cheney say so....
  • TheEditor1, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3Buried as BLOG SPAM...
  • JohnnyXmas, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Rove invented E?! ***** yeah!
    • acedeuce12, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1E! has been pretty much worthless since Howard Stern left.
  • trer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1What's wrong with the "liberal media" these days? Don't they know that Rove is a dyed in wool conservative?
  • feckineejit, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3We're all screwed because conservatives will continue to use Roves brand of shady "political manipulations" (read 'voter disenfranchisement'); phone jamming the opposition grassroots phone bank efforts, offering fake free beer for homeless people AT A DEMOCRATIC MEETING, and so on. these are underhanded evil methods that democrats WON'T stoop to and therefore will not be able to beat.
    • moin1097, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2What color is the sky in your little world?
      If the democrats did those thing they would have to raise themselves up to them.
  • ccL1, on 10/10/2007, -3/+3I'm a liberal, but even I can admit that Karl Rove, despite his beliefs and methods, is a mastermind and genius. Think about it, he got a stupid retard elected to the highest office in America for two terms.
  • knobtwiddler, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11the man needs to be in prison.
    he definitely was involved in election fraud at the very least.
    • hittnrun, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1do you have any evidence you would like to turn over to the proper court?? Otherwise, find another dream. We have a system of laws in this country.
      • knobtwiddler, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=karl+rove+election+fraud&btnG=Google+Search
        our dept of justice better not open that can of worms or the whole house of cards comes falling down.
        yes there is abundant evidence. is there a proper court that is willing to take the evidence? sure show me the court i'll show you teh evidence, everything from former diebold employees saying they were hired to commit fraud, to phone jamming scams run by rove, voter disenfranchizement of black voters, etc etc. its open and shut.
        • hittnrun, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0got any "black helicopter evidence" to go with that whine?

          lol
  • dillibob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1their probably praising him so they can get interview time with him
  • boomchockalocka, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Adolf Hitler was a pretty good politician, too.
  • AndreiOttawa, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0"Boy Genius"? Try "Big Turd"...
