8. Wow......this is even more brazen than I would expect from them. Usually they're pretty secretive

about this type of thing.

5. "Don't look for my whereabouts"? Bizarre twisting of the language, there.

Proof again, if more is needed, that the criminal mastermind known as Rove is a dud.

9. no he didn't. he made a stupid, tasteless joke.

it's totally misleading to cast it as a threat.

10. I agree.

Akin derailed Rove's plan to focus on the economy. He's just letting off a bit of steam.

11. Exactly. BFD. Repubs love to joke about murder. They do it all the time.
