[berni_mccoy]

1. Well, of course he is.

WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T ENFORCE SUBPOENAS.

2. Shocking surprise

NOT.

3. lol... not exactly a shock...

Rove floated Palin months ago & is the master until he is defeated.
Since I don't believe Rove can be beaten tactically, our best bet is to go around him
and provide as much help to Ron Paul & Bob Barr with whatever wedge issue will peel away republicans.

Ever wonder how much of a role Bush political guru Karl Rove is playing in John McCain's campaign?

Rove, who steered George W. Bush through two successful presidential elections, has insisted that he has no formal role in the McCain camp. He's a commentator now -- writing for the Wall Street Journal, opining for Fox News. As he told George Stephanopoulos recently when the ABC anchor called him an informal advisor, "I wouldn't even go that far -- informal advisor, no way." Rove called his interaction with McCain staffers "chitchat."

The McCain campaign also has tried to douse rumors that Rove, whom Bush calls "the Architect" for helping him win reelection in 2004, is an advisor. Asked whether he has access to inside information, campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds said, "He doesn't. He's a Fox analyst."

But this morning the Hill quotes a Republican operative as saying that "Rove has had a consistent, medium-sized role with the McCain campaign." And the newspaper notes that Rove has appeared as an analyst on Fox News with what appears to be inside information.

6. I know we're always saying "I'd like to see an ad" ...

but I'd like to see an ad showing Rove and his machine SLIMING McCain in 2000, compared with McCain hugging Bush and Rove now.

They REALLY think people are stupid if he's trying to disassociate himself from Bush yet so actively and obviously makes use of Rove.

5. yawn.

this is new? I knew this all along. His campaign has Rove's fingerprints all over it.

12. Shouldn't he be in jail? McSame = same Rove bullshit we have been putting up with for the last 8

years.

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Well, since Rick Davis suckled on the teat of Lee Atwater

and Karl Rove, is this a surprise?

The only surprise is that Rove took so long. Davis ain't that bright. (I know him, as a disclaimer)

[earth mom]
