Neutralizing Rove and Rupukes (R&R)
It's time for all political smears to be called roves ... like in "(s)he's been roved"... "Are you roving me?" "Let's call a rove a rove."

It should become part of our lexicon. There should be comedy skits with an "I've been punked" setting ... but changed to "I've been Roved."

Once in the public mindset ... Dems and others being smeared with rove, instead of being put on the defensive ... can just dismiss it with .... "Looks I've been roved" with a laugh at the insignificance and ludicrity of a spin attempt that is so obvious in its roveness.

The term can refer to any slimy distortion of fact.

The public will start to look for roves. There could be contests to see who identifies the most roves. Campaign ads could easily dismiss Rs with "Don't be misled by a rove."

It didn't take long for "flip flop." Roved or "a rove" should be easier. Rove's ambition for power and fame could be realized. Let's set him in history with a term he deserves.
