| Karl Rove, News Analyst | |
| 2008-02-17 | |
Liberals would seem to believe that Bush strategist Karl Rove is a monster genetically engineered from the DNA material recovered from a fair copy of Il Principe, Pat Nixon's cloth coat, and one of Lee Atwater's old guitar picks, while moderates regard him with a vague but considerable sense of respectful queasiness. I will not pretend to understand what our friends on the Right think of the man, but the president of the United States calls him "Boy Genius," and those nicknames have got to count for something. All concerned parties must be a bit unnerved by Rove's recent performance as a contributor to Fox News.

| #2 If Karl is so smart, why, after 7 years with the President's ear do we have such a political disaster in the making for 2008 ? What has Rove, the political advisor, done to expand the Republican party ? What has Rove done to assure that every voter is alive and properly registered ? What has Rove done to assure that every vote will count once and only once ? What has Rove done to attract quality people to run for office ? And finally, what has Rove done to keep his boss from placing illegal Mexicans before his own citizens ? Not a damn thing. After 7 years, Bush has become our worst enemy and the idiot doesn't even know it. |

| #1 My take was his TV persona made him the Bob Costas of political analysis...nerdy, non threatening and spot on. I like Dick Morris, and agree he comes off from time to time as a "blown dry weasel", but his analysis tracks reality. I think Karl is the new "smartest guy in the room". |
