You don’t suppose his resignation was just another cunning Rove plot that will end up suckering the Dems once again, do you?
"Rove, you magnificent bastard!"

Karl Rove intensified his attack on Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday, saying she lacked the vision to be president while saying she was “so weak” on national security and support for the armed forces.
Mr. Rove, President Bush’s political adviser, has been criticizing Mrs. Clinton since Monday, when he announced his intention to resign from the White House and coupled it with candid analysis, notably, calling Mrs. Clinton a “fatally flawed” presidential candidate.
Mrs. Clinton, of New York, and her advisers have denounced the attacks while privately welcoming them, hopeful that Mr. Rove, a bête noire to Democrats, will spur liberal skeptics of Mrs. Clinton to rally to her.
Advisers to Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, a Clinton rival, conjecture that Mr. Rove is trying to help Mrs. Clinton win the Democratic presidential nomination because, this thinking goes, she would be easier to beat than Mr. Obama.
Mr. Rove gave two high-profile interviews yesterday, on Rush Limbaugh’s radio program and to Reuters, essentially delivering the same message: that Mrs. Clinton had opposed Republican efforts to overhaul health care and expand medical benefits to more Americans and that she had opposed the USA Patriot Act, domestic surveillance programs and other antiterrorism measures.
“Look, she is who she is,” Mr. Rove said on Mr. Limbaugh’s syndicated program. “There is no front-runner who has entered the primary season with negatives as high as she has in the history of modern polling.
“She’s going into the general election with, depending on what poll you look at, in the high 40s on the negative side and just below that on the positive side. And there’s nobody who has ever won the presidency who started out in that kind of position.”

Excellent.
I think that Carl’s musical theme (if you can call that music) would be “Who Let The Dogs OUT?” Whenever he does a speech against HIllary & Company, that song ought to be playing subtly in the background!
Hillary’s campaign song should be “Sympathy For The Devil”.
Well, all those republicans who vote in the democratic primary will be sure not to vote for Hillary now. By accident or design - I honestly don’t know what to think of Rove anymore these days after some of the doozies this White House has attempted - the only effect Rove’s comments will have is to boost Hillary’s standing among liberals.
I had no idea W.C. Fields was still alive!
I suppose that's to lend emphasis to his famous saying, "There's a sucker born every minute!"

Hope he does not decide to take a walk in Fort Marcy Park.
