For years we heard people talking about how brilliant Rove was when it came to politics. I always disagreed with that. What Rove is good at is dirty tricks, spinning and lying. Calling him a “great political mind” is like calling a bank robber a “great businessman” or a rapist an “artful seducer of women”. […]
And not Hillary’s? All the pundits keep talking about Barack and his run being so historic, yet they aren’t talking about the historic impact of the Clinton campaign? When did we have a female President in the past? This is really something that has been eating at me. Neither one are my pick for President […]
You got to love it when the man who ran the White House for six years debunks the man who ran the President for six years: SCARBOROUGH: We have to start with something that we all are talking about a couple of days ago where Karl Rove went on Charlie Rose and he blamed the […]
So this White House sez: The head of the federal agency investigating Karl Rove’s White House political operation is facing allegations that he improperly deleted computer files during another probe, using a private computer-help company, Geeks on Call. Scott Bloch runs the Office of Special Counsel, an agency charged with protecting government whistleblowers and enforcing […]
Apparently not: You are not going to believe this, well, actually you will… According to Karl Rove (on Charlie Rose), the Bush Administration did not want Congress to vote on the Iraq War resolution in the fall of 2002, because they thought it should not be done within the context of an election.

Old Turdblossom is leaving the White House: Karl Rove, the political adviser who masterminded President George W. Bush’s two winning presidential campaigns and secured his own place in history as a political strategist with extraordinary influence within the White House, is resigning, the White House confirmed today. In an interview published this morning in The […]
This will certainly become a big thing at this week’s hearings: In the spring of 2006, Domenici told Gonzales he wanted Iglesias out. Gonzales refused. He told Domenici he would fire Iglesias only on orders from the president. At some point after the election last Nov. 6, Domenici called Bush’s senior political adviser, Karl Rove, […]
Leahy is not buying the White House line for one minute that the emails used on GOP accounts have been deleted and are “lost for ever” and neither do I (Think Progress has the video of Leahy’s speech). As someone who has worked on data retrieval, there is a great chance the data is still […]
Today’s LA Times gives us one of the most detailed looks yet into this scandal: When Karl Rove and his top deputies arrived at the White House in 2001, the Republican National Committee provided them with laptop computers and other communication devices to be used alongside their government-issued equipment. The back-channel e-mail and paging system, […]
