I wasn’t on here during Rove’s fill-in day but I did listen to the podcast.
What did you think of Rove? I thought he displayed quick wit and good humor but got hung up on the inside-baseball minutiae of polls. He is no doubt a past master of the political arts but I didn’t hear much about principles from him.
Rove started off slow, really slow. But then he picked up amazingly. Loved him.
He was being careful but was having a really good time. He was using his time to get into liberal heads and rattle around. He was dry in his presentation and masterful in the execution.
It is not necessary to get balled up in principles where regardless of what you say, you will be attacked.. He was a guest for the first time in the seat. Better to set a precedent for biting wit than to invite fire from all corners.
