Rove Mad at the Founding Fathers Set Up

Karl Rove is apparently yearning for a government more like Mussolini’s and let loose with some harsh words for journalists on Saturday. Wanna be fascist Rove criticized journalists, saying they play a “corrosive role” in politics. He claims journalists want to “draw attention” away from their own role in government.

Some decry the professional role of politics, they would like to see it disappear. Some argue political professionals are ruining American politics -- trapping candidates in daily competition for the news cycle instead of long-term strategic thinking in the best interest of the country.

What a horrible argument, Karl. How do you survive the day with these people nipping at your heels?

It's odd to me that most of these critics are journalists and columnists. Perhaps they don't like sharing the field of play. Perhaps they want to draw attention away from the corrosive role their coverage has played focusing attention on process and not substance.

I cannot think of a man more worthy of criticizing focusing the attention on process and not substance than Karl Rove. When fighting for his boy in the 2000 South Carolina primary, Rove made sure the focus was on substance by creating a “whispering campaign” about McCain’s mental health, his wife's admitted battle with a dependency on prescription drugs and whether he had fathered a black child out of wedlock.

He also loaded Republican operatives from Washington, D.C., onto a bus and sent them to Florida in 2000, where they played the part of "angry Florida mob" shouting and intimidating the bureaucrats who had the unenviable job of evaluating the ballots.

God damn corrosive journalists.
