Michelle Malkin has a very solid reaction to Karl Rove's disgraceful behavior on Fox News tonight. That is not why Fox should suspend him and investigate. According to this report, Rove was working behind the scenes on behalf of the Castle campaign to negotiate a deal that would have led to some Delaware Tea Party groups not supporting Christine O'Donnell, while giving Mike Castle a pass.
Especially given his comments on Fox News tonight, until this is resolved, it seems impossible to trust Rove as an objective analyst. In terms of the conservative movement, we should not simply ignore him, but proactively work to undermine Rove in whatever ways we can, given his obvious willingness to undermine us.
Additionally, via Michelle, before Christine O'Donnell could even make an acceptance speech, the NRSC rushed out to say they will not support her. Video here via The Right Scoop. One source I spoke with claims that RNC Michael Steele is purportedly going to go to Delaware to support Christine O'Donnell. As I said earlier on Twitter, the NRSC is dead on the web as far as I am concerned.
@NRSC Cornyn is one of the most incompetent NRSC heads ever. Now you won't support us? You are DEAD on the web ....
I would encourage all grassroots and conservative activists and bloggers to, not just ignore them, but proactively work to run-down whatever web based initiatives they choose to employ until this matter is resolved. John Cornyn should be held accountable and removed from his NRSC position.
He has demonstrated his incompetence several times over and now this. It is time for John Cornyn to go. If the NRSC had decided to not fund O'Donnell that is one thing. But to leak word of it tonight as they did, on the very night of her compelling victory over their preferred candidate, is way over the top. Cornyn needs to resign in disgrace, or be replaced if the GOP establishment wants any cooperation from online bloggers and activists going forward.

I can’t believe it, Rove is doing it again!
He’s at it again. WAS Rove a campaiogn adviser to Castle?
Rove on Fox right now is making me wretch.
Rove needs to go to AZ and help patrol the border for a couple of years and then get back to us. He’s a looser(sic).
Stunning! I hope Rush beats him to death.
That egomaniac is on Fox right now tearing her down. The dems aren’t going to have to do one damn thing to smear her b/c Karl Rove’s ego is doing the dirty deed for them.
?? Cornyn announced the NRSC will give O’Donnell the maxiumum amount and full support.
Stick a fork in Rove’s toast.
Pretending to be objective while working on someone’s campaign is reprehensible and loathsome. Write Hannity and Fox News and express your views regarding Rove as an “objective” analyst he is NOT.
He’s acting like his political future was just sealed. Was he planning to guide Jeb Bush to the 2012 nomination and now he sees that will not happen?
This goes along with my favorite conspiracy theory - that the Bush family is a bunch of Dem moles whose assignment was to destroy the Republican Party from within.
Why doesn’t Rove talk about Rangel’s win in his primary? Now there is someone with some real financial issues!
I totally agree. What the heck, now we are going to play by the dems rulebook? No wonder we have such players sitting cozy for years.
Karl has let this get personal. A professional would use different words to get the point across. He may take his ball and go home, but the people have the keys to the house, not him. Entitlement is ugly no matter who wears it.
FOX will keep him because he’s doing the work conservative Americans won’t do. He’s bringing them ratings via agitation.
I can’t stomach Rove, a Freeper just posted on another thread that even just now he was on Fox trashing Christine, I’m astounded.
Follow the George $oro$ bucks...
Why is this surprising?
Politician = self serving, lying coward.
Political strategist = facilitator, soul-less Machiavellian creature.
