Rove is a jerk. Never in his life would it ever have occurred to him to criticize a RINO. In fact, he was responsible for putting at least a dozen of them into the Senate.
He even backed Lincoln Chaffee. And Crist.
And he was the motive force who put Arnold in charge of California. How’d that work out? Total disaster. He not only finished the work that Gray Davis started, but he made it evident even to the California voters that a Republican could be counted on to do a lousy job.
Rove has always done everything he could to twist the Republican party to the left.
He blasted Murkowski a hell of a lot
