Why is Karl Rove so great?
I constantly see the 'liberal' Media call Karl Rove a great man.

Oh I get it now!

Without Karl, the GOP would have been liquefied toast a long time ago.

If an evil sleaze ball can get BUSH elected then he must be great!

All hail Karl Rove, the Great Evil Sleaze Ball!

1. They look "great" only if you are on your knees.
'nuff said.

2. He has been given the title of genius!
He is not a genius! He is cold-hearted and an attack dog. He is low, and manipulative! He knows how to move the weak minded people, so that they will support what ever he say or do.

3. Bingo
Karl Rove is 'great' only in the eyes of those who wish to harm their fellow man.

4. because he has no soul......

okay - maybe i should say i'm jealous.



i wish we, as a party, had the balls to play as dirty as he does.

5. He's not great but he's smart in a very evil way.
Tweety and a journalist were discussing his intelligence on Hardball last night. That trait will burn Rove; when he claimed he had no memory who clued him into Plame's identify, they were skeptical to say the least due to his supposed steel trap of a mind.

6. He isn't great, he's not even good. He's just another criminal that
followed his calling.

9. That's right. Rove is unconstrained by ethics, patriotism, or ...
any other traits that good people have. Criminals have that advantage. They are able to succeed by exploiting the goodness of other people. But most criminals get caught, and Rove is not an exception. He is not a genius, just another criminal about to go to jail.

7. Anybody can run dirty tricks & get away with it given enough money and
an utter lack of moral compass. The Republicans richly (pun unintentional) qualify in both regards. Moreover, they will never ever ever appeal to anything remotely like a majority of the American people because their corporate interests just aren't any wise in line with ours. So they'll always have to cheat. And if all our dreams were to come true and Karl were to wind up frogmarched out in leg irons, they'd just plug in another swine, and he'd become the boy genius. They'll keep winning because they'll keep lying, cheating, and rigging the outcome, and the bought and paid for media will salute whatever criminal appears to be pulling the strings as a genius because admitting otherwise would be acknowledging that the entire process is a hustle. And con artists can never do that.

8. He is not a genius, he is the architect of
smear and lies and deceit and those things he does well...

11. For lack of a better term - ditto to that.
It's amazing what you can accomplish when you have no ethics.

12. and a big donor list, friends w/o morals, and press that is scared of you
because you might cut off access, or you might smear them as well as immoral or unpatriotic or gay or whatever might stick.

13. Check, check and check.
What's to wonder about how Rove rose to power?

But ultimately, people who've been burned will start talking - and I'm not talking about Dems.
