The “Tokyo Rove” meme is really childish. Does Sarah no credit at all.

Tokyo Rose, in the 2nd World War, repeatedly broadcast to the American GI's lies and distorted promises calculated to weaken their resolve and convince them to lay down their arms and surrender to the Japanese "superior force."

This is precisely what Rove is doing to conservatives with his propaganda against Palin. The simile is not only exquisitely appropos to the current situation, but Rove is actually performing precisely the same discouraging disinformative propaganda role that his oriental namesake did six decades ago.

"Tokyo Rove" is perfectly accurate. Deal with it.

Actually it’s quite an accurate description of the SOB. Not to mention kinder than he deserves.
