He criticized Palin on national TV. When you have that kind of power, every word you say gets picked up by somebody for good or bad. In rove’s case with Sarah, it was ALWAYS bad and he didn’t have to write it because someone else did it for him.
In what context did Rove criticize gov. Palin? Was it during her campaign as VP with McCain? She has not run for any other office since that 2008 run, so any of his criticism of her is irrelevant.
