Thank you CBS for using the correct term "lectern", rather than the overly abused "podium". We return to your regularly scheduled programming. F#@% Rove. If the world truly had any justice, he'd spend the rest of his days on latrine burning duty for the Marines. Alas, such is not to be. Pet peeve.

Rove too smart. Dems too “Dumb and Dumber”. Comment by Bob — August 15, 2007 @ 12:10 pm When you say "got" Rove, what exactly do you mean? If you are saying that Rove always bested Democrats, I need only point to the 2006 midterm elections. If you are saying that the Democrats were never able to nail Rove with any criminal acts, it sounds as if you are admitting that Rove COMMITTED criminal acts and the Dems were just too dumb to catch him at it. So, which is it? Libs/moonbats never “got” Rove.

Rove too smart. Dems too “Dumb and Dumber”.

Comment by River — August 15, 2007 @ 8:15 am The question was phrased as a playground taunt, and that is never very becoming. Bush had every right to ignore it. But in Plante's defense, I'll say this: Journalists everywhere are writing about Rove's work -- his accomplishments and his failures. If either Bush or Rove had chosen to respond to Plante, they could have provided their own input into what was going to be written anyway. Unfortunately, it went off-script, so any response would have been highly unlikely. Plante probably remembers the days when he had non-stop talker Clinton to work with.
