Blast from the past?

Sources close to the former president say Rove was fired from the 1992 Bush presidential campaign after he planted a negative story with columnist Robert Novak about dissatisfaction with campaign fundraising chief and Bush loyalist Robert Mosbacher Jr. It was smoked out, and he was summarily ousted.

4. Telling paragraphs

in this article regarding Karl Rove revenge mode:

". . .Rove was talking to an aide about some political stratagem in some state that had gone awry and a political operative who had displeased him . . .after a moment, it was like ignoring a tornado flinging parked cars. "We will fuck him. Do you hear me? We will fuck him. We will ruin him. Like no one has ever fucked him . . .As a reporter, you get around—curse words, anger, passionate intensity are not notable events—but the ferocity, the bellicosity, the violent imputations were, well, shocking. This went on without a break for a minute or two."

Shudder! :scared:

2. I guess Al Martin wasn't too far off...

when he said that Novak was Rove's favorite 'plant'. I think Novak should get arrested for his part in this.
