Regarding Karl Rove and his flushing away at least 300 Million dollars........

I don't give a flying damn what was said about that phone call being civel sweet and full of sugar and spice.. KARL IS GOING TO COME UP MISSING.. it won't be right away. too obvious but something is going to happen to ole Karl.. some of these folks he got the Geroge Washingtons from are "sketchy and more than a little shady".

I believe they're going to wait a few months...ole K may find himself in a situation ala "jimmy Hoffa" or a wellstonian plane crash but mark my words, that boy's gonna come up missing. I think he effed with the wrong crooks this time and conned, then WASTED too much money from the wrong one. I think they'll wait at least 6 months. It's about to get real for Karl....Mark my words.

Adelson can give $100 million a year for the next 200 years, he has so much money. Same goes for the Kochs, Papa John and every other one of their disgusting sponsors. Rove is in no danger. That sort of thing only happens to good guys.

What time frame should we give it and what do you want me to stake against your biscotti?

He did what he could, it just didn't work. Outside of saturating the markets with ads, there really isn't much his PACs could do. No one was beating the Obama ground game.

5. The kind of people who put money behind Rove will not go quietly into that good night.

I think there will be something in Rove's future that will be rather suspiciously associated with what happened Last Tuesday.

There was a lot of money being thrown about. I wonder he managed to compensate himself nicely.
