Fox News finally (informally) identifies Karl Rove as McCain advisor
ABOUT TIME!

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/03/fox-news-finally-identifi_n_104976.html

ThinkProgress noted today that Fox News has finally identified Karl Rove as an informal adviser to the McCain Campaign, almost four months after hiring him as an on-air political analyst.

Rove first appeared on Fox as an "FNC political contributor" on Super Tuesday (February 5), and it took the network 118 days to acknowledge his affiliation with McCain, according to ThinkProgress' "Rove Watch Clock."

The mention slipped out during an interview with Rove on Hannity & Colmes, when Colmes asked him a question about Obama.

"Look, Karl, I know you're supporting McCain. But how do you know -- and I know you've helped informally advise McCain -- but how do you know that he's a weak general election candidate?"

2. Rove needs a new sock puppet. He wore out the last one he had.
My guess is that if McCain should win, Rove and Cheney and all the neo cons would still be pulling the strings. McCain is as incapable of making a good decision as bush is. He will need advisers making decisions for him. That's the reason Lieberman is hanging around him.
