He helped GW. He’s a great political mind. So what?
I’m pretty sure that John Wilkes Booth was a fine actor before he shot Lincoln.
What Rove did was inexcusable. His past performance makes it worse, if anything. He should know better, it’s no rookie mistake.
Krauthammer is a talking head, and his opinion, while harmful to a conservative candidate, is excusable. He does not aspire to hold the levers of power.
Rove is welcome to be a talking head if he can’t keep his damn mouth shut, but he can’t pretend to be a player on the conservative side of the game while he sticks the knife in conservative candidates.
Don’t blame Rove for O’Donnell’s loss. Blame her. Rove, whether we all like it or not, has been right on the contests he raised questions about. I DO believe it is better for a Christine O’Donnell to lose than a Mike Castle win but I ALSO understand what Rove believes. And I don’t blame him. He’s right in the short term and wrong in the long term, IMO.
