Never listen to a word Rove says

[dave29]

it's all Bushit.

Rove hoped Howard Dean (Architect of the 50 state strategy)would be the candidate in 2004. For me that is essential for understanding Rove... he generally means exactly the opposite of what he says.

I posted this back before the 2004 election: and thought today may be a good time for a revival.

Rove's astronomical spin machine already has a good number of you convinced that our worst commander in chief, quite possibly ever, is unbeatable. He has you convinced of this because he is good at his job. Really, really good. Hell, he made George W. Bush President (some might say it's Scalia's fault, but Rove deserves his due) - and that's an accomplishment, for sure. He made a good number of you believe the GOP has a mandate, despite losing the popular vote in 2000. He even has spun relatively small victories in the south (please look away from Louisiana), and a resulting small majority in congress as proof that the GOP is unbeatable. Yes, Karl Rove is worth his weight in gold to the Neoconservative movement.

So when you get down to it, beneath all the glitz and glamour, George W. Bush's political marketing guru has really only done his CEO one favor (although it will ultimately be his downfall). His immaculate spin has branded Bush as the big bad wolf of politics. A big, scary, tooth-gnashing political beast - charging forward towards corporate dominance and Republican glory.

Yet, start digging (which they will do everything in their power to stop), and you'll find the one thing Karl Rove is afraid of. The fact that his big bad wolf lives in a straw house. And I for one can see the political winds shifting, threatening to blow down that house.



buh-bye, Rove-r

1. yes, exactly!

Leaving to spend time with his family? Come on now! I say he's getting out while the gettin's good.

He was wrong about the 2006 election, wasn't he? Now he thinks they will hold onto the White House. Ha, ha, ha.

2. Maybe he wants

to spend time with his family before he starts doing hard time.

I hope.

3. Rove quit right after the Iowa straw poll

This is not coincidence.

He's joining team Romney.
