He’s BAACCKK!!!!!!!!!!

He never really went away, but Rover is back in the middle of the Rethugs campaigning. He can deny it all he friggin wants to..but as this and this and this article show..TurdBlossom is alive and well and playing the smarmy bag of batshit once again. Just what Weathervane McCain needs..Krazy Karl. Steve Benen from the CarpetBagger Report via Alternet has this to say on the subject:

One, of course, is that McCain keeps trying to position himself as different from Still-President Bush, but that’s awfully difficult under the circumstances. Not only is McCain offering Bush’s foreign and domestic policies as his own, but he’s taking advice from the guy who shaped Bush’s campaigns.

Two, there is the small matter of journalistic ethics. For reasons that defy logic, Rove has been hired to play the role of professional “journalist” for a variety of outlets, including Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, and Newsweek. No one seriously expects credible, independent, bias-free reporting from Rove, but no serious news outlet should be comfortable paying someone to offer commentary and analysis on a presidential campaign while simultaneously advising one of the candidates in the presidential campaign.

And three, the National Journal article also noted that Rove, when he’s not pretending to be a journalist and/or advising the McCain campaign, is also consulting with far-right campaign outfits.

Freedom’s Watch is the cream of the crop of the rightwing nutjobs. Rover is advising them as well as McCain. He is getting lots of facetime on Fox Noise lately too. At least ABC’s George Stephanopoulos had the nads to call it as he saw it recently when Rover was on his Sunday Morning show.

My only hope is that the American voters are tired of Rovers brand of divide and conquer. That bag of batshit is the last thing McCain’s campaign needs..which is probably why they want him..they suck in the polls lately.

Will history be kind to Krazy Karl?

Turdblossom will leave the Executive Branch at the end of August. This marks the end of his reign of terror on the United States.

Or does it? There are plenty of articles out there trying to lay claim to what they think Krazy Karl will do next, after the dust settles and his wife and son get tired of seeing him on a daily basis. This write-up explores the way history will view Bush’s Brain,The Architect.. aka Karl Christian Rove.

First, some facts about Karl Rove:

Rove was born on Christmas Day. If that doesn’t kill the holiday for you, I don’t know what would.

Rove went to no less than 4 different colleges. He doesn’t hold a degree from any of them. Needless to say, he dodged the draft using the college deferment.

Rove’s mentor and first political boss was Donald Segretti of Watergate fame. Under Segretti, he taught a class for Young Republicans on how to sift through the garbage of Democratic candidates. We know what happened to Segretti my dear reader. Rove was also investigated for Watergate crimes but the FBI considered him small potatoes.

Rove owned a direct-mail firm, which specialized in political campaigns, before he went to work for Bush43. He was involved in dozens of campaigns marked by dirty tricks, sexual innuendo and the use of friendly FBI agents and prosecutors to harass Democrats. He sold the business when he signed on with Bush43 in 1999, as demanded by Bush43 himself as a condition of hiring Rove.

Rove was fired from Bush41’s failed Presidential campaign in 1980 for leaking information to the Press.

Rove was again fired, this time from the 1992 Bush41 presidential campaign, after he planted a negative story with columnist Robert Novak about dissatisfaction with campaign fundraising chief Robert Mosbacher Jr.
