Rove Watch clock: 78 days.

By Amanda Terkel on Apr 23rd, 2008 at 10:10 pm

Rove Watch clock: 78 days.

Former White House adviser Karl Rove appeared on Fox News’s O’Reilly Factor tonight to assess the results of the Pennsylvania primary, commenting on the performance and prospects of Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Barack Obama (D-IL). Once again, O’Reilly failed to identify Rove’s ties to Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) campaign, marking the 78th day since Rove became a Fox contributor with no disclosure.

    Ah, let him milk a few bucks from Fox. He’s had his day, and his legal bills next year will be big enough to pauper him. It’s not like anyone will want to risk being associated, given the high probability of his being indicted, so his value as a political consultant is near nil.

    Billo failing.

    No news here. Move along…


  3. Xisithrus says:

    Rove is still not wearing a flag lapel pin and a yellow tie?

    Shouldnt that be on his back?


  4. Hemlock for Gadflies says:

    While I appreciate the point you’re trying to make, and agree with it, do you really think any Fox viewer for a moment would be troubled by a conservative conflict of interest? This is only the sort of thing that troubles honest people


  5. questioneverything says:

    There should be a countdown to his conviction. I’m guessing another couple hundred days. Maybe congress can make it mandatory for Karl Rove to wear a flag pin, every violation is another 10 years.


  6. Above the Clouds says:

    I wonder if the shit storm about to be visited on Rove will come AFTER Bush is out of office so the Presidential pardon can’t be in effect. One has to give Rove a little bit of credit–he did get the biggest idiot in the history of US politics appointed president. Rove’s “permanent Republican majority-thing” kind of fell apart, though, didn’t it?

    GDumbya is a Pyhrric victory for KKKarl. He got eight years out of the moron but he killed the republican party for at least a decade. All he can hope is that the masters he serves have been able to rape and loot the country enough in the past eight years to satisfy themselves.


  8. Freedom Rebel says:

    Having Karl Rove give a Fair & Balance report on the Democrats in the Pennsylvania primary is like asking Pastor John Hagee to speak on behalf of Gay Rights at a Convention.

    You’re not convincing anyone, Hillary-maniac. You haven’t got a leg to stand on when you call others insane. Look in the mirror.

    THE TIME TO INDICT ROVE IS FAR OVERDUE!


  11. freedom lover says:

    s! People (ObamaHeads), we (they – HRC/BHO) are ALL PROGRESSIVES – get over yourselves and stop acting like insane republicans! Especially while pretending to be ‘journalists’!!!

    hillary has become a crazed warmonger. Some liberal.

    republicans hate facts – i have noticed that right wing pundits usually rant with profanities making their vitriol very personal and also don’t like being questioned about their views (they think that their view is the only right one) sort of like a rabid bill o’rielly


  13. az says:

    btw what does rotlf stand for? i figured out stfu

    You Republicans have the BALLS to complain about anyone lying when your president and vice president have done nothing but lie to the public for the last seven years. Let’s not forget Alberto Gonzales and the evil Karl Rove. Karl Rove is full of so much hate and contempt that he should be put in jail. Maybe after his benefactor has left office.
    What about the crazy Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell and their connections to Republican politicians? Are they not as hateful or is it that Obama is black and therefore nothing he says is above contempt?
    This country is in a sad state of affairs.
    Do you think that Bush or Cheney are feeling the pinch of the price of gas and are they still able to eat three times a day? I can’t. Or are they making money hand over fist from their oil earnings.

    republicans hate facts Says:
    Pure projection from the crazy b**ch. Yes you ARE INSANE. You claim Hillary’s a republican, that she’s a member of a cult – and you called me insane on that trashy little blog of yours. You’re a crazy b**ch, and the sad part is you think it’s everyone else! HYSTERICAL! You took too many lessons for how to be a shrill irrelevant b**ch from MightyA!

    I told you before, and I’ll say it again, they’re both ‘decent’ candidate, but Obama is no GOD, and Hillary is no evil person. What’s EVIL is all of the HYPOCRITICAL SMEARING and STUPID INSANE COMMENTS from EVIL WITCHES like YOURSELF!

    This is completely laughable — and the very definition of projection. :D

    First, you call me insane, stupid b*tch, etc, and then proceed with your insane ramblings. Hilarious!! As insane as MA was, and still is, she was at least coherent — she always had that over you — ALWAYS, btruthful.

    No one here, or on my blog has ever said Obama is a “God.” Don’t be ridiculous. So you choose to support someone who voted for the war, who cuddles up to Bush and McCain every chance she gets, and who is a proven liar — ok. Do what you want.

    I hope you don’t think you’re changing anyone’s mind with your unbalanced rantings.

    You don’t like my blog? Stay off it, you f_cking coward.

    This would be a problem if Fox (Faux) News was actually into journalism. Since they aren’t, I guess it’s okay for them to hire whomever they want. I just wish they’d remove the NEWS part from the name, though. Call it Fox Talk, or something like that.
