Karl Rove
Posted at 9:04am on May 20, 2008 Hillary Clinton uses Rovian Talking Points to Buttress her Campaign.
Any weapon at hand.
By Moe Lane
And here I bet that you thought this primary race was scraping the bottom of the surreality barrel. Folks, we're just getting started. The primaries are almost over - Clinton by lots in Kentucky, by the way; Obama by 10 in Oregon - and, contra a lot of hopeful sorts, the Democrats' selection process looks more like it'll run out of gas before it'll run down. They weren't prepared for somebody to make a fight for it all the way down the line, and does it ever show!
Oh, yes, she's making a fight for it:
Breaking News: Hillary Clinton now thinks Karl Rove's a political genius
Until very recently -- like suddenly this afternoon -- Karl Rove was to most Democrats the Great Satan, the political mastermind of two outrageously stunning Republican presidential victories by a Texas goofball governor and, before that, the unfortunate upset ousting of a popular Democratic governor named Ann Richards, as well as the overall rejuvenation of the Lone Star state GOP in statewide offices.
In fact, there are few things politically evil that Rove has not been blamed for by Democrats, even nine months after he exited the White House to write a book, consult and opine in Newsweek, the Wall Street Journal and as an analyst for Fox News.
(interrupting)
For a given value of "politically evil," of course. But this Andrew Malcolm fellow is otherwise refreshingly free of irrational, impotent hatred towards everyone to the right of Joe Lieberman, so we'll forgive it just this one time. Anyway, after noting the way that Clinton called Obama "Rovian*," Malcolm continues:
How quickly things change in this season's presidential politics.
Today, Clinton began citing Rove as the ultimate expert on who was the strongest Democratic candidate in the Nov. 4 general. And we've got the exclusive maps below to prove it, all four confidential pages.
No, really!
Read on.

But the man has some serious stones.
Posted at 3:03pm on Feb. 28, 2008 "60 Minutes" blames Karl Rove for fmr Gov. Don Siegelman's (D-AL) prosecution; state GOP says "show proof or shut up"
By Jeff Emanuel
According to The Birmingham News:
In the segment aired Sunday [on 60 Minutes], north Alabama lawyer Jill Simpson said Republican strategist Karl Rove in 2001 asked her take a compromising photo of [former Democrat Gov. Don] Siegelman with one of his aides.
Rove has denied knowing Simpson at all. Siegelman was, of course, convicted of conspiracy and bribery in 2006. During his trial:
Prosecutors contended [HealthSouth founder Richard] Scrushy bought a seat on a state health board with $500,000 in contributions to Siegelman's 1999 lottery campaign.
Siegelman was also convicted on an unrelated obstruction of justice charge that he hid $9,200 he received from a lobbyist.
I have no idea why this story suddenly came up now, outside of the MSM's complicity in the well-publicized attempt to spike GWB's legacy before it gets started; however, the chairman of the AL state GOP has in effect told 60 Minutes to put up or retract.
"If you are unable to publicly produce hard and convincing evidence that backs the outrageous charges you aired to millions of viewers across the nation, I ask that you publicly retract the story on your next broadcast," Rep. Mike Hubbard, R-Auburn, head of the Alabama Republican Party, wrote in a letter to the show.
