Karl Rove, a Cancer on American Politics? "Everyone says that Karl Rove is a genius. Yeah, right. So are cigarette companies. They get you to buy cigarettes even though we know they cause cancer. That is the kind of genius Karl Rove is."

Columnist Tom Friedman really wants the Republicans to suffer next Tuesday, judging by his Friday column (Times Select required) "Insulting Our Troops, and Out Intelligence."
"George Bush, Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld think you’re stupid. Yes, they do.
"They think they can take a mangled quip about President Bush and Iraq by John Kerry -- a man who is not even running for office but who, unlike Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney, never ran away from combat service -- and get you to vote against all Democrats in this election.
"Every time you hear Mr. Bush or Mr. Cheney lash out against Mr. Kerry, I hope you will say to yourself, 'They must think I’m stupid.' Because they surely do."
And apparently, Karl Rove causes cancer.
"Everyone says that Karl Rove is a genius. Yeah, right. So are cigarette companies. They get you to buy cigarettes even though we know they cause cancer. That is the kind of genius Karl Rove is. He is not a man who has designed a strategy to reunite our country around an agenda of renewal for the 21st century -- to bring out the best in us. His 'genius' is taking some irrelevant aside by John Kerry and twisting it to bring out the worst in us, so you will ignore the mess that the Bush team has visited on this country.
"And Karl Rove has succeeded at that in the past because he was sure that he could sell just enough Bush cigarettes, even though people knew they caused cancer. Please, please, for our country’s health, prove him wrong this time."
now take your thoughts and add Letterman and Leno et al and Friedman is additionally praised and then Hollweird swoons and "makes him even smarter"
More like a boil on Anerica's backside!
The credit belongs to dead...
"So are cigarette companies. They get you to buy cigarettes even though we know they cause cancer"
Cigarette companies don't GET me to buy cigarettes I CHOOSE to buy cigarettes.
*LOL* They can't take it if they aren't the ones dishing it out. Too funny
Either ROVEMAGBAS or RYMB standing for of course, Rove you Magnificent Bastard. If we decide on one keyword on Rove related threads it will be much easier to track.
Thank you ladies and/or gentlemen for your time and attention.
Roooooooove!
Defeating Democrats at the Ballot Box has now become a crime worthy of execution. I NEVER thought I would live to see that in America...
Just wait and see what happens should they actually win!
The full might and power of the federal government will be turned against their enemies and we know who they consider enemies...........us.
BINGO! So true!
Where do you think Chuck learned that trick??? hmmm?
Very good point!
What a perceptive and principled person you are. And I'm not kidding. The oracle of the NYT is a doofus.
Does that make the MSM 'AIDS on America'?
My head isn't stuck in the sand or elsewhere. Bush is no Reagan, but the individual candidate doesn't have to be. It isn't eloquence that carries the day, it is honest belief plainly stated. And Bush CAN afford good speechwriters...
I am aware there is a cultural war going on, as well as two real wars. And I voted for Randy Graf here is AZ 8, although the RNC has done its best to get Giffords elected instead.
Karl Rove is supposed to advise the President on the political implications of decisions. If Karl couldn't figure out Harriet was a major flub, or that amnesty for illegals was bad, or that spending like a drunk sailor wouldn't endear the republican party to its base - then Karl is damn stupid!
And I'm not harming the republican party by pointing that fact out!
A*hole !
"We'll come in low out of the rising sun and about a mile out we'll put on the music."
"Music?"
"Yeah. I use Wagner. It scares the hell out of the Dems. My boys love it."
