Karl Rove’s “bachelor” pad?

Why didn’t all these stalwart Pubbies have their undies in a know when she ran for the Senate in 2008? Are they simply pissed that she beat their butt buddy, Mike Castle, in the primary this year?

[The Comedian]

She's going to be President, you envious, worthless, seething piles of crap in a tie.

Accept your fate, so that you may die easy.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

shallow ideological purity

I don't think ideological purity is shallow at all.

[kcvl]

Inside the beltway elitist to the max.

Worked as an aide to Indiana Senator Dan Coats and a speechwriter for the Presidential campaign of Bob Dole before briefly leaving the political world to cover it as a journalist for U.S. News & World Report.

In early 1999, Karl Rove recruited Gerson for the Bush campaign.

Gerson coined "the soft bigotry of low expectations" and "the armies of compassion.

After leaving the White House, Gerson wrote for Newsweek magazine for a time. On May 16, 2007, Gerson began his tenure as a twice-weekly columnist for the Washington Post.

Palin's endorsement of Christine O'Donnell in the Delaware Republican Senate primary revealed a preference for a shallow ideological purity...

The only win I would like to see more than Christine O'Donnell's is Sharron Angle's. It would be great to see some liberals' (and RINOs') heads explode.

Her assessments of where to jump in have been quite acute.

Oh, my yes. She's not only been consistent, she's been consistently successful. And along the way she's been building up some very heavy political capital, from McCain at one end of the Republican spectrum to O'Donnell at the other. If Hillary doesn't run in '12 she'll have a good chunk of Hillary's people too.

This is politics as a fine art, and anyone who thinks Sarah Palin is a hick hasn't been paying attention.

Very well said~~!!!

One wonders whether Karl Rove's misogyny is rooted in closeted homosexuality or rooted in his divorce.

*snaps fingers*.

I *knew* there was something I didn't like about his eyes.

I wonder if the infiltration of the upper reaches of the GOP with queers was partly due to his influence.

And Bush's line, when queried over whether homosexuality was wrong -- "We are all sinners" -- just *might* acquire a sinister double meaning, that the homosexuals knew of skeletons in Dubyas closet (drinking and/or drugs and/or infidelity) and threatened to destroy him unless he allowed them power.

Just ideas, no proof of it.

Cheers!
