The Rove Legacy

From the Washinton Post’s The Rove Legacy: “Just days after the November 2004 election, Bill Clinton pulled Rove aside at the dedication of the William J. Clinton Presidential Library in Arkansas. ‘Hey, you did a marvelous job, it was just marvelous what you did,’ Clinton told Rove. ‘I want to get you down to the library. I want to talk politics with you. You just did an incredible job, and Id like to really get together with you and I think we could have a great conversation.’” [Yep, the Clintons admire Rove's version of politics. I guess she really is the "change" candidate, huh?]

    Without reading anything but this I can not see what it has to do with Mrs. Clinton. As bad as the rove name is he is regarded as an almost brilliant political strategist. I guess he would be like Bruno on West Wing.

    If by brilliant political strategist you mean willing to lie, cheat, and steal in order to win, then yes, he’s a brilliant political strategist.

    But in my mind — and I think in the mind of many people, particular Obama supporters — there is something more important than winning, and it’s called integrity.

    Great but what does that have to do with the Clinton running for office?

    lollerskates at integrity, none of these people have any.

    I think it’s unfair to say none of these people have integrity. The whole idea of Obama’s candidacy is to fight that kind of cynicism.

    As for the Rove thing, it’s interesting to me that Clinton tried to take on the label of being the “change” candidate when her senior campaign advisor (her husband) thinks the political machinations of Karl Rove are “wonderful.” That’s not the kind of thinking that says “change” to me.

    Rove got the most disliked president in the history of the world elected, how is that not an incredible job?

    Is Bill really her senior advisor?

    They have all sold their soul.
