"This was a trap play. Totally f'ing brilliant. They had the ammo ready when the moderates, I mean Liberal Democrats, walked into the fan."

That would be true if Rove controlled the spin cycle. But judging the transcript in the Scott Mclellan press conference, the MSM is working this in a way that;s not favorable. No surprise there. Other than Fox, it'll be a constant drumbeat about the "hateful" comments of Rove.

But I guess I'm in the minority on this. It just seems to me that Rove "out-clevered" himself this time.
