Karl Rove has an iPhone.
“Twins” Karl Rove and Josh Bolten check Rove’s iPhone as President Bush visits the damage of the collapsed I-35W bridge in Minneapolis.
No word on whether Rove is using it for official White House duties or political activities.

I bet Twins fans are really excited to see Rover wearing one of their caps. Ick.
August 7th, 2007 at 1:52 pmThey were making sure they both had Jeff Gannon's phone number ..........
August 7th, 2007 at 1:52 pmHe's probably arranging to have Keith Olberman's car drive off a cliff with the trunk full kiddie-porn.
August 7th, 2007 at 1:54 pmTweedledum and Tweedledee
August 7th, 2007 at 1:54 pmBoyz at the touch of a finger(heavy breathing) ...a modern miracle
August 7th, 2007 at 1:55 pmGood for KKKarl. Now he can have his porn collection with him wherever he goes.
August 7th, 2007 at 1:56 pmRingo, quick to think like Rove. hmmmmmm. That explains all I ever need to know about you.
August 7th, 2007 at 1:56 pmI have an iPhone too. ( they do rock )
Is there a point???
August 7th, 2007 at 1:57 pmso?
August 7th, 2007 at 1:58 pmKarl Rove has an iPhone. ---- I doubt seriously that Karl was the one who waited in line for it. Poor staffer.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:01 pmYeah what is the point of this. I just love how ThinkProgress rips off other people's blogs. Wonkette was making fun of this yesterday. Wow, what a news source this webpage is.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:01 pmAnd a blue shirt, and metal rimmed glasses too. You know what that means... ...He’s Hitlers henchman. We need no more proof.

No , Rove is just a smear-mongering douchebag whose sole claim-to-fame is being acknowledged as "Bush's Brain" ; man , talk about being recognized as complete shit ..............
August 7th, 2007 at 2:05 pmYou Democrats suck so bad, it's not even funny. Why don't you guys talk about how your leaders signed off on a bill that lets Bush spy on you loonies? Oh wait, that's an inconvenient reality for you liberal loonies that you're "leadership" gives Bush whatever he wants. Instead, lets point out that Rove, like millions of Americans, owns an iPhone. Wow!
August 7th, 2007 at 2:08 pmI feel so left behind in this world of the latest and the greatest in technology...
August 7th, 2007 at 2:10 pmI'm just now starting to feel like I want an MP3 player and a pair of Bose headphones......
When TP posts items like this, it betrays itself as ideologically bankrupt and fixated on personalities; not issues. Even the most progressive here would have to agree.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:11 pmOh, I get it.
This is a paid advertisement for the iphone!
August 7th, 2007 at 2:12 pmKKKarl was in Mpls??? I thought I smelled sulpher!!!
What an insult to Twins fans her in Minnesota.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:12 pmCaption:
"Does it tingle you know where when I push this button, Jo Bo?"
August 7th, 2007 at 2:12 pmFor Mr. Rove, there is no difference between official White House duties and political activities.
Boy Genius, did you perhaps mean Tweedledum and Tweedledumber?
August 7th, 2007 at 2:12 pmYeah what is the point of this. I just love how ThinkProgress rips off other people’s blogs. Wonkette was making fun of this yesterday. Wow, what a news source this webpage is.
Comment by Bill Clinton
Well Bill, after outing Valerie Plame to Novak I am surprised he is not in prison and he is still allowed into our WH. He still has a security clearance - if I'm not mistaken. So to patriotic and loyal Americans - we are surprised this loser is still on OUR PAYROLL. That makes this post completely appropriate. Clear now? I hope so.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:12 pm#14. Many people here are PROGRESSIVES and are sick to death of the corrupt establishment - Democratic leadership included.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:14 pmI personally don't care that Karl has an iPhone. I do take umbrage at his wearing of the Twins cap. Whoever gave it to him (you know he didn't shell out his own money for it) ought to be slapped!
August 7th, 2007 at 2:14 pmYou Democrats suck so bad, it’s not even funny. Why don’t you guys talk about how your leaders signed off on a bill that lets Bush spy on you loonies? Oh wait, that’s an inconvenient reality for you liberal loonies that you’re “leadership†gives Bush whatever he wants. Instead, lets point out that Rove, like millions of Americans, owns an iPhone. Wow!
Comment by Reagan — August 7, 2007 @ 2:08 pm
Yeah, you're ("you are") right, the subject of the FISA travesty never raised its head here yesterday. Not a word was written about it.
Dum Bass.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:15 pmHe's wearing a just-purchased Twins hat.
Six years of ignoring the upper midwest, he plows into town, has a flunkie buy him a new hat, and tries to pass himself off as a "lover of things local."
Note to Karl: Even Twins fans don't wear Twins hats, and for the few that do, they're dirty because they work for a living.
You look like a grumpy usher.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:15 pmHe's got an iPhone.
He's got cleavage.
He's as gay as a French horn.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:15 pm"Instead, lets point out that Rove, like millions of Americans, owns an iPhone. Wow!"
Umm ....They are both wearing the same Garanimals outfit.......the same cap?.....says Twiiiins.....right-wingers share the same brain.....walk in lockstep......conformity.....latest gadget......sheeple? .....kinda funny
August 7th, 2007 at 2:16 pmKarl Rove has an iPhone.
Yes and apparently the iPhone hates him too.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:18 pmWhen TP posts items like this, it betrays itself as ideologically bankrupt and fixated on personalities; not issues. Even the most progressive here would have to agree.
Comment by paul — August 7, 2007 @ 2:11 pm
Of course even the most progressive here would have to agree, if we were as simple-minded as you are, paul.
See, the thing about progressives that seems so foreign to you is that we can actually examine several different subjects at a time -- serious as well as frivolous -- and keep them in perspective. We don't assume that just because something frivolous is posted on TP that we should consider it serious. That's for you guys.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:18 pmI'm from Minnesota and, yes, it SICKENS me to see him wear a Twins hat.
It's like Satan with a snapshot of your girlfriend in his wallet.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:18 pmIt’s like Satan with a snapshot of your girlfriend in his wallet.
Nicely put.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:19 pmMaybe he's using the iPhone's calculator to help him figure out THE math.
Also, no flag pin? Why does he hate America?
August 7th, 2007 at 2:21 pmJust made me not want to get one.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:22 pmCaption: lessee, what's the 15% tip on a tangerine wine cooley.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:26 pmSo, the man can't buy a product offered in an open market?
I wonder. I read some of the post and all I see is hate. This time because someone you disagree with has a phone. Nice.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:26 pmA message from the RNC Troll Department:
Please ignore any and all comments posted by "Reagan". His posts are not sanctioned by our office and don't even make sense.
We suspect "Reagan" is a DNC plant who seeks to discredit our side by posting inane and incoherent messages that make the Right look stupid. Don't fall for it.
Thank you.

No no no - I hear he's running iCage v. 1.2
August 7th, 2007 at 2:26 pmThis shot is really quite perfect. They both are fat cats. In casual wear. (no ties.) It is like a bratty kids do out. They got their little free caps on and Porky is playing with his latest toy. Thy have the mandatory lapel pins. Blue blazers and blue oxford shirts. It wouldn't surprise me if they had matching kahki pants as well. See these guys think they are hot stuff. And they are just nerdy little boys. How did this happen?
August 7th, 2007 at 2:26 pmThe Bobbsy twins?
Lala & W both disrupted aspects of this rescue effort just by visiting the site.
Traffic is shut down for hours, extra security has to be brought in, and not much got done Fri, Sat.
Our Governor, 'Living With Less in the Land of Pawlenty', is now backtracking on a long history of vetoing transportation bills. In fact, earlier this year he vetoed funds that would have fixed bridges. He made a cute comment, Rovian in nature, of 'push yourself (Dem legislators), away from the table'; meaning all the Dems want is more taxes.
Cute.
Now, he's willing to reconsider his veto. Just like Bush, too little too late. He passed over bridge inspections or ignored the structurally deficient tags on the bridge. He's worried this going to come back & haunt him when he tries to achieve National stature.
Mini-Bush-Tim Pawlenty

You know who else doesn't wear ties, don't you?
August 7th, 2007 at 2:29 pmWell, that narrows down his service provider. We know that the number is on AT&T.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:30 pmWhy do Pogressives keep comparing members of Bush admin with Hitler´s henchment and Bush with Hitler?
Nazis took over Europe and some part of Africa in 3+ years.
Bush admin cant protect the Green Zone in 4+ years.
Come on.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:33 pmKKKarl Rove is a Big Fat Pig.
(ahhh, that felt good)

Maybe CI can help you at that.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:43 pmI can see why a closed platform would be appealing to Turd Blossom.
August 7th, 2007 at 2:53 pmanother good reason not to buy one, in addition to the fact that the at&t network sucks.

Test.
August 7th, 2007 at 3:36 pm---------
Is that the iPhone Jumbo Version for those fat little piggy fingers?
---------
August 7th, 2007 at 3:37 pmBush asked Karl Rove if Apple Computer can put together and make an 'I- Decider' for him.
August 7th, 2007 at 3:38 pmI think you can only get a personal AT&T account with the iPhone, no business contracts available. That means it is not going to the white house and should not be going to RNC. I wonder if that leaves those message out side executive privelege protection.
August 7th, 2007 at 3:56 pmI wouldn't know how to use that thing if I had one. I still have a Walkman.
Everything that pudgy a-hole does is outside of the executive privelege protection...hasn't stopped him yet.
August 7th, 2007 at 4:02 pmKarl is just the trendiest unindicted co-conspirator ever.
August 7th, 2007 at 4:14 pmOH OH! Matching outfits -- does that mean they're going steady? Did they exchange classrings, too?
August 7th, 2007 at 4:33 pmIs that where he keeps the "real math"?
August 7th, 2007 at 5:02 pmI think you can only get a personal AT&T account with the iPhone, no business contracts available. That means it is not going to the white house and should not be going to RNC. I wonder if that leaves those message out side executive privelege protection.

i think that's a good question...
August 7th, 2007 at 5:31 pmi sent it along to TP... maybe they know such things...
.
Bolton is wearing more "flair" than Rove.
August 7th, 2007 at 6:02 pmHow many days until he loses it . . .and is iPhone?
August 7th, 2007 at 6:59 pmNext time this sack of shit "loses" his emails, we can get Dirty Gonzalez (a variant of the Dirty Sanchez) to request his records from NSAT&T just like they do with the rest of the iTard users.
August 7th, 2007 at 7:23 pmKarl the Pig.
August 7th, 2007 at 8:28 pmDespite my head being nowhere near as enlarged as the typical self-righteous neocon, my Twins hat no longer fits. Perhaps that's a good thing in light of the photo. I'll never look at it the same way again. Shameless politicing. A travesty in the wake of a tragedy in a once-proud state that carried both Mondale and Dukakis that is now infested with the likes of Bachmann. My condolences to those directly impacted by recent events as well as those who will continue to be impacted by their electoral mistakes. Minnesota is not a swing state!
August 7th, 2007 at 10:25 pmWhy do Pogressives keep comparing members of Bush admin with Hitler´s henchment and Bush with Hitler?
Nazis took over Europe and some part of Africa in 3+ years.
Bush admin cant protect the Green Zone in 4+ years.
Come on.

and with 50 years more advanced weaponry against a gang of starving homeless guys with 30 year old ak 47s and sparkler bombs mind you.
August 8th, 2007 at 10:23 amKarl Rove has an iPhone.
August 8th, 2007 at 1:58 pmGood, let's just get ATT to turn over his phone records.
And let's get transcripts and recordings of all his conversations from the NSA.
