he did it as a Democrat in the heavily Republican state.

Somebody hasn't done their research. Yes, Alabama goes GOP for national politics, but the state itself is run by Democrats, although we've gotten a couple of GOP governors in the last 20 years. Prior to that, we hadn't had one.... ever? Senate and legislature still solidly Democrat.

Am I the only person who has no problem with what Rove supposedly did here?

CBS...GOP Operative: Rove sought to smear Dem?

Not quite.

CBS and Dem Operatives sought to smear President Bush
and seek to smear Rove.

There, that’s better...

Details tend not to fit the simple story lines that journalists like to draw.

Exactly how do you get pictures of someone doing something immoral if they are not in fact doing something immoral.

It is not a smear if in fact your accusation is true.

Isn't it a bit odd of someone, whose job is doing opposition research, complaining about their boss asking for negative information on a political opponent.

Isn't this story awfully well timed. Republicans accuse the liberal NYT of smearing John McCain and then 60 minutes puts out a teaser for a 60 minutes story which is 7 years old about a Republican supposedly trying to smear a Democrat.

For $500 dollars the answer is .... “60 minutes accusing someone of using smear tactics.” Number 3 - What is hypocrisy? Alex.

Just like Arkansas. We practically have a litle Republician party here. The Dems rule.
