1. It doesn't take so much brilliance
for a slithering, mean-spirited snake to destroy those who don't lower themselves to his level. That's not brilliance; it's evil.

We should be proud that the Democrats aren't cut from the same cloth. Just imagine the chaos in government if Rove's tactics were used by every politician. He's done so much damage to the political landscape in Washington, that it would be a much welcome relief if he were brought to justice. I hope he gets at least 4 or 5 indictments for the damage he's done to the Wilson family alone. I just wonder how many have been hurt by his pathetically evil mind.

10. I agree
Also he has had so much practice at his skullduggery.

Practice of anything, even vile political dirty tricks, makes a big difference.

4. Total amoral ruthlessness does not mean genius. It just means that
a person has no limits to the depths that they'll sink to. And the perfect example of that type of person is KKKarl Rove.

5. Serial killers are often higly intelligent.
And Karl Rove is responsible for far more deaths than Ted Bundy. Whether he was directly involved or not is irrelevant. Charles Manson didn't actually kill anybody either, but he damn sure was held responsible for it.

7. I voted Brilliant Amoral Effing Pig...
(no offense to pigs)..because he knew, HE KNEW, 59 million voters were/and still are as dumb as stumps.

And, I remember a post 2000 primary interview with John McCain when he was asked if he had any hard feelings about Rove and Bush after they attacked his family in SC. And McCain shrugged "that's politics". Whaaaaaa? I wanted him to be mad, REALLY MAD! And that stupid McCain-Feingold "money laundering" fix-it, shoulda, woulda, coulda included "ethics" ? Voting and Campaign Reform?


:banghead:

Sorry for the rant guys :hi:

9. If Tony Soprano had the FBI working FOR him, instead of AGAINST
his results would be impressive too. Would you call him a genius then? (And, BTW, I do think Tony is much brighter than karl as he had to actually overcome some adversity)

12. He's always been a slime ever since those days in Sparks, Nevada,
when he was out playing in the ditches. This was his earliest attempt at gutter-level politics.

Once in the gutter, always in the gutter.
