According to well-placed insiders on the Times' Board of Directors, a shaken Sulzberger made that announcement in a hastily convened meeting of the Board of the Times' parent company, The New York Times Corp. Sulzberger reportedly told the board that the discovery was made last week.
"During an internal investigation, we reached the regrettable conclusion that Karl Rove has been running this newspaper since at least August, 2002," Sulzberger reportedly stated. "His intention is clear - to ruin the reputation of the newspaper and the party that our editorial policy supports."
Sulzberger reportedly continued: "I ordered an investigation to determine how the Times had come to publish detailed information about a top-secret government monitoring operation of the international financial transactions of al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups. The publication of this information clearly helps an enemy that killed thousands of people just a few blocks from here. Endangering Americans is something the Times would never intentionally do. Unfortunately this story fits a pattern of publication that has almost ruined the Times' reputation for probity and journalistic honesty as well as causing incalculable damage to the Democratic party that our editorial policy supports."
Edith Steingehirn, the Times' internal investigator who made the Rove discovery, told the board: "Our investigation into the publication of the terror financing story quickly led us to discover other frightening actions taken by our news and editorial divisions during the past four years."

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRoooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeee!
Love it
Please tell me this is sarcasm. If not then we need a "MoonBat" alert similar to the "Barf" alert.
OOPS, my bad. Skipped right over that.
Rove, you magnificent bastard!
I'm not sure it is sarcasm. It could be true. It would explain a lot of things.
Thank you for posting something to make me laugh on such a stressful day.
This guy is good. Imagine doing all this while at the same time operating the Hurricane Steering Machine!
The Treason Times has all the jounalistic integrity of DU w/o the political objectivity.
Pray for W and Our Troops

Looking at this stock chart, it seems Rove is doing a very effective job... The NYT's stock price peaked around the time Rove took over... it's been downhill ever since... the insidious b*st*ard!

It's no wonder the planet is warming at an alarming rate.. How is Karl supposed to run the NYT, BBC, The Guardian, and NPR.. and still keep his hands on the weather machine?!
The guy is a genius.. of course, but, there is only so much time in a day for the love of God!
Raymond
LOL!
There. Fixed it...
Bwahahahahaha!
And columnist Maureen Dowd echoed Krugman's sentiments. "The past few years have been an unmitigated disaster for peace and freedom loving people throughout the upper east side of Manhattan. Only Karl Rove running the Times can explain that!!"
In related stories (see page 14a), executives of both the BBC and CNN have begun internal investigation to determine whether Rove is running their news divisions.
They may be correct, it's too stupid not to have been a plot.
DU Conspiracy Theory.
But on the up side... it would break their hearts... the Old Gray Lady? That means Rove owns all the press in the world... even NPR, Cafferty, Chrisy, Colmes, Air America and maybe even ANSWER... Woe unto them... Woe.
