Think Rove is bewildered about how the Swiftboat mess blew up in his face?

.
Now that the media is on to the meme that Bush/Cheney & Rove are behind negative smears against Kerry, even when they try to blame a 527 organization, perhaps Rove's moves will be questioned more by the media in THIS election, like they weren't in 2000. Olberman & Matthews, at least.

Perhaps now that Rove's hand has been slapped hard, he'll think twice about reaching for the cookie again. Or make even stupider mistakes the next time.

Rove f*cked up early, and that's a good thing for Kerry. JMHO.

It's like when they issue a Terror Alert--now the media reflexively examines if it could be politically motivated. That's the meme they've tuned to.

Same with Bush/Cheney negative smears on Kerry in the future?

Mission Accomplished? The turkey platter? The RNC in NYC? When was the last time he got one right?

Dear God, it suddenly occurred to me: they're going with Zell Miller because they can't get a Republican who's willing to toss his career by making that speech for George.

and a Christian and has 'vision.'

No small thanks to Karl Rove.

And yes, he has f'ed up "bigtime" before. "Mission Accomplished" was a BIG Rove f'up. You're right about that.

at times to imagine what they must be talking about behind closed doors and it ain't pretty.

How else can anyone explain the total blackout on Cheney and Bush "military careers", while facilitating this incredible attack on Kerry.

before he'll turn around and bite you.

Rove was connected to this scam? I've hardly been able to get to the computer for a couple of days, only a few minutes at a time, so I missed it. And I would love to have the details.

Much obliged to whoever helps me out.

Oh yeah, if this has been connected to KKKarl, it can't be a fun time at the White House. Rove's reputation for sleazy tricks is starting to catch up with him and he's not looking like the bright eyed baby genius that he fancies himself to be. In fact, if bush* had any brains or integrity (and we all know that he has neither), he'd be checking out the want ads as I type. But that ain't gonna happen. So what they'll do is what they always do, sit tight and ride out the scandal as best they can. I mean, it's not like there haven't been others in this administration.

for a long time.

Or at least I think that's what that New York Times chart showed.

Anyway, bet on it. The swift liars are Rove's baby.

The media are the biggest flip floppers at all. If it becomes fashionable to bust bush they will all do it except maybe fox.. Little by little they are seeing there is an undeserved market of moderates and liberals and bottom line ratings will win out over ideology.

... cause that's what's bringing Shrubya down..

I see this a lot but don't know what it means.

Granted, this is ultimately a no-win for Bush, but it does keep Kerry on the defensive. And I'm sure he'd rather not hear Kerry take the boy-king on with this issue:

He always attacks into fire. When he said that "everything is on the table," my bet is that he meant it. Everything. That could mean things all the way back to BCCI & Iran-Contra, justified because Shrub has guys like Negroponte still hanging around.
