You know what phrase I never want to hear again after this election is over? "Rovian".
Anybody who says it after this election has ended deserves to be punched in the junk with a spiked gauntlet.
:grr: :grr:

1. Oh my god yes.
At this point, "Rovian" is used to describe pretty much anything that the speaker doesn't like or approve of. It's too simple, and it detracts from being able to lay real accountability at the doorsteps of people OTHER than Karl Rove. He's not the only Evil person out there. Ugh.

6. It's almost as annoying as 'thank you for your concern' or 'do you like pizza?'

2. You know what phrase I DO want to hear well after this election is over?
"It has been nearly X years since Karl Rove mysteriously was sucked into an interdimensional vortex, and yet it remains a bizarre occurrence without any rational scientific explanation."

5. Not to mention that I think they're *seriously* overestimating Karl's intelligence. nt

8. I wouldn't mind hearing it said in a different context
Something like -- "Wow! Triple life terms. That prison sentence is so Rovian!"

12. Yes. It is.
No, really it's only when I want to yell. Because I picture Sarah Palin screaming at Todd all of the time.

14. I can think of a context where I wouldn't mind hearing "Rovian."
"Man, I saw some dude have a totally Rovian seizure earlier -- his legs kicked just like Rove's did when the trapdoor dropped." :evilgrin:
