| Sansui said: You can't ever forgot Karl Rove's October surprise. There will be SOMETHING epic from that slimeball or his prodigy in October. |
Last time I checked he wasn't working with the campaign, and is still in political exile for some of his questionable acts while in the White House. Karl Rove also pulled quite a slander campaign on McCain in 2000, so I don't think McCain will seek his help.
Not to menion Rove is only interested in helping out a campaign if it has some tangible advantage for him, such as all the power he had as a political consultant while working with Bush the governor and Bush the pres. And Rove is a political hand grenade at this point as he is still under investigation, so I don't think McCain would touch him even if he wanted to.
Rove is different from a lot of Republicans in that he isn't willing to go out of his way for his party (like some of the nutjob authors who think it is their duty to take down a candidate) if he isn't going to be benefitted in some way. I can respect that.
If you want to know more about Rove, read Machiavelli's Shadow: The Rise and Fall of Karl Rove. Fascinating biography.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
