Fox News Is Taking Karl Rove Off The Air

for KT McFarland.

and they know it.

They can't let any of the brainwashed Faux viewers start thinking for themselves.

Bu, at the same time, they can't afford on-air idiots who are so clearly and demonstrably wrong.

Then they should also pull William "The Bloody" Kristol from the air.

This just strikes me as kind of funny.

Not that I watch on Sunday anymore, but it was good to think that they might have been relatively confined to the Faux asylum.

Rove and/or Morris. I'd even buy a ticket to that one, lol.

... so he'll still show up occasionally, like acid reflux or flatulence.

But less Rove is certainly good news.

working for such peanut pay.

He and the other shitbags will always be out there. I keep hoping for a in-mass heart attack day for Republicans but it has yet to happen.

Mon cher

Hey,
Very nice, thanks for that laugh!

Peace

has standards, dontcha know.

fox viewers how wrong they were about the election. They might get a f****** clue

I am starting to get that feeling....

and making themselves radioactive to the lowest (basest?) of their base and our President's ratings continue to climb, Elizabeth Warren is rumored to have a seat on the banking committee and the Egyptian people have surrounded the pResidential palace. And all that just in five minutes on the DU!

Sheesh, what a day!

2014 is going to be all out war by Republicans and their handlers - nothing, NOTHING will surprise me.

There is a whole lot of angry people out there, more than a few with limited intelligence. Rove knows how to tap into that anger.

If we think back...

Remember during the bush2 years when EVERYTHING that they did was timed strategically. Either positively or negatively, either actively or passively. It was all about timing. They scheduled EVERYTHING very purposefully. Things - either White House initiatives or campaigns or releases or events or trips, or other GOP/CONservative-related events were timed strategically. It was all about pressing an advantage, attempting to manage perception or control or modify public opinion, to manipulate circumstances for the benefit of THEIR guy, THEIR agenda, and THEIR continued dominance.

As you can imagine, there was MANY a Friday Night News Dump as they attempted to manage the public's awareness of events or statements unfavorable to them. Dump it Friday night when there's no real serious news anybody bothers with - til the Sunday morning shows, and the first regularly scheduled stuff doesn't crank back up til the wee hours of Monday morning. THREE days later. And Short-Attention-Span America will forget the nasty stuff by then. The crowd inside the Beltway and the chattering class won't, but the public at large will have moved on. And other news is reliably certain to break in the meantime, anyway, pushing whatever bad news the dubya folks were trying to minimize - mercifully down off Page One and no longer the Top Story of the Hour. They were VERY savvy about what makes the low-information or gullible or fearful or otherwise easily-manipulated - OR willfully ignorant consumer tick. They were totally clued-in as to what resonated with Joe and Jane Plumber and rang their chimes. And they knew all kinds of ways to manipulate their victims' thinking and their opinions and the way they viewed the world.

These people were nasty. Manipulative. Scheming. Selfish. Entitled and hellbent on keeping it that way. They figured out how to launch the war they wanted based on ginning up people's fears and angers and resentments toward - well, an imaginary enemy. Like the Saddam Hussein who they insisted was behind 9/11. They try that relentlessly, still, with garbage like how the trickle-down theory just is the absolute Key to Eternal Happiness and Magic Wealth and Freedom from Irregularity, the Heartbreak of Psoriasis, and Lovers' Catarrh. And don't forget their endless collective hard-on (YEOWWW! More than four hours! Call your doctor!) to make sure the rich and super rich don't have to pay their fair share. They manipulated everything.

So if they're blurting this out before the week's even halfway over, that's a tip-off that there's some really serious urgency over there. They're in a hurry. SOME among them have begun to understand Just. How. BAD. They. Looked. on that election night. MAYBE (?) some of them have begun to realize how cockeyed and wrong they've been about their coverage leading up to that election night, too? That one may be too much to hope for. But clearly there IS something they are anxious, even desperate, to fix. There's something that stinks so bad even THEY can't keep it around and pretend it isn't as foul as it is. There's something about this from which they are VERY interested in getting away. Yep, stinks that bad. This one couldn't wait.

Too bad they're just finding this out. We knew it in 2001. Hell, some here, who know Texas politics better than I do, knew about kkkarl rove during dubya's governor years. And many of us also watched the putrification of dick morris after he decided to turn on President Clinton during the whole Monica mess. That was certainly before the bush2 era.

I think this is as close as we've ever gotten to Pox Noise admitting it made a mistake. And a BIG one. They'll never come out and full-on admit it. They'll just do what they can, cosmetically, to make the problem go away. Take rove and morris off the air? Out of sight, out of mind. After all, you're dealing with low-information, gullible, naive, and willfully ignorant consumers here.

If we had a FAQ I would def put this under the definition for "Friday Evening News Dump."

For fans of "The West Wing," they referred to it as "Take Out the Trash Night."

So far: Palin cut back or removed, now the two turds, Rove and Morris.

Awesome present!!!

Yeah. They're too dumb and out of touch for even Fox News.

"Sherman... it looks like the turds are no longer in bloom.."

Consequences.

That's too bad.. it would be nice to have them around to remind fox viewers how damn stupid they are. Remember fox's dumbass support for rove right after the election? Guess they changed their minds about "how valuable rove is".

Thanks go west

Ailes hates A'Murka

They're being benched because they're often wrong?

If that's the case, then everyone (with the exception of Shep Smith) else on Faux should be let go also.

Exactly.

Fox should just become 23 hours of muzak while a camera slowly pans weather instruments.

Otherwise, he's way richer than any of us could ever hope to be. By most accounts he raked off tons from American Crossroads and other such political action groups.

And let's take a quick walk down memory lane...




rocktivity

who will be left?

Hey Karl: Maybe Roger has "THE MATH": A major of people must now know that you're a pathological liar. Please go away before you get indicted.

Appalachian Trail.

or is that heads exploding, off there on the far right

Was hoping he'd hand us the house in 2014.

I ain't gonna be impressed. Without a place to spew his venom, ole' Turdblossum might just explode. Now there is a wonderful thought.

Buh-bye asswipes. I mean, this is Fox that dumped him. How humiliating this must be for Karl. And that makes me very, very happy.

he'll probably be somewhere (MTP, maybe?) dancing with David Gregory

Rove made a fool of himself on election night and Morris is nothing but a slimy weasel.

BTW, the hooker whose toes he sucked, told some rag that the weasel had sexual fantasies about Hillary. Ewwww, poor Hillz!!!

That's a great start.

We can thank you for George Bush....Twice! Two wars for no good reason! Thousands dead, U S citizens maimed for life! A federal deficit as far as the eye can see. Your ill fated attempt to steal another presidential election using billionaires money (while stuffing your own pockets). No really goodby, you worthless turd. The only thing I have to thank you for is making me aware of your, and conservative's preponderance for manipulation, something I guess people do in the absence of empathy or care for another human being.

into prison for a long time.

When are networks going to pull him?

He has been all over MSNBC recently.

I have thought all along that the neocons would let a Dem President fill the coffers and bring Jeb in to get a war going.

Ham with glasses has been canned !

Too sweet !!!!

And Rove did spectacularly badly. Dick? Well Dick is an idiot. Roger Ailes should have seen that years ago.

...kkkarl and the dick bring down the Faux curve. kkkarl will be back. He has too much dirt on too many. The dick is a buffoon. Period.

Then they will have moved the shiny object and it's on to 2016.

Watch. They'll be baaack!

Was sad to see the video of Rove driven to madness by his own madness. Sad in a happy way.

and the world, a favor. they should both slink into obscurity. well, not rove, he should slink into prison but that's a bitch for another day.

I am going to be smiling all day!

no one works for free for the fox-lies arm of the republican party

I wil be satisfied

straight to the orange suit and a hole in Gitmo is what he deserves.

... When Faux and its little Fauxlets are nothing more than a test pattern.

Allen West, and Joe Walsh.

Has about as much scientific merit as their last one.

Faux dingbat to walk into the back room with her high heels on to check. What a sweet moment that was. If anyone missed it, it's a must see.
