The Guardian Details Rove's Dirty Tricks of the Past
He is a dirty, dirty, man.

This one especially got me:
The 1986 governor's race was a prime example. The contest between Rove's Republican client, Bill Clements, and the Democratic incumbent, Mark White, was neck and neck, when Rove announced he had found an electronic listening device in his office, and cried foul. The furore swung the election to Clements and to this day Texan Democrats are convinced Rove concocted the whole episode.

The whole article's good. Shows what we're up against:

2. Again, The Guardian.........................
doing the American Press's work for them. I wonder why we don't see stories like this in the American media? Does anyone have any ideas about that? :eyes:
