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."

Does cancer make your hair fallout if you're mean and arrogant?

Karl and the rest of the right side must be getting to the NY Slimes and Tom Friedman. Lets keep it up. Maybe we can drive him over the edge.

Friedman is a cancer canker sore on the buttocks of American society and culture and should be excised.

There, thats better!

They are the most evil political party on the planet and should be disbanded.

Many of their followers swore they'd leave the country if President Bush was re-elected, and they didn't. Why on earth should we think they'll ever keep their word.

well well, what an opportunity...did anyone see Okra a weekish ago with her lady friend driving the Chevy Impala ? On sunday they went to a church and Okra was recognized in church( Okra had her own film crew ((in church)) distracting God's work) and was given a mic and asked to pray and I swear this.......Okra asked God to "give a little bit of the Holy Spirit that Okra could call on ANYTIME to the people in church. Okra said she felt better giving it away !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indirectly they think they are GOD.

Pillow biter. You look like a fat, tone-deaf version of Freddie Mercury.

Rove won't need to read this, he'll stare at it and intimidate the information into his head...

You're thinking of Chuck Norris...

Don't you know that the inexorable Rove was Chuck Norris's sensei?

[DarthVader]

Hey Tom, just do what Bubba did ... don't inhale.

They're despicable hypocrites. On some level, they realise that living in exact harmony with their so-called principles would require moving to (or even visiting) North Korea or Cuba. But there is no Chardonnay and brie there.
