Rove Watch clock: 91 days.»

Fox News rolled out its political analyst Karl Rove tonight to comment on the Democratic primaries in Indiana and North Carolina. Instead of disclosing Rove’s ties to, and support for, Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) presidential campaign, Fox News put up a large screen with his nickname:

    Is Rove relevant to anyone other than Fox News viewers?


  2. friendsofronmexico Says:

    Must be !! The way the left hangs on his every word.

    “Rove Watch”? Sounds like something Dick Cheney might use to torture detainees.

    Glad I don’t have to do it.

    Turd blossom’s are slippery as …. well, their slippery.
    How this guy is still around blows my mind.
    Rove Smove! He sucks.


  5. ConcernedParent Says:

    I don’t see turd blossom anywhere on that screen


  6. katy Says:

    yea… those numbers on that screen shot - they’ve changed quite a bit since…

    down to 4pts… and closing…

    as far as fox “disclosing Rove’s ties to, and support for, Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) presidential campaign” - never gonna happen…

    it’s the principle of the thing… fox cannot acquiesce to TP, for heaven’s sake…

    friendsofronmexico, that’s the best zinger I’ve seen on this site! With all the toilet humor, bad puns, McInsertAntiRightNameHere, its nice to find some gold. I feel like most of y’all get your humor from old Ren and Stimpy cartoons.


  8. Ms_Joanne Says:

    TP, I hope you have room for triple digits on your clock because I am most definitely not holding my breath that they will ever make that announcement.

    Not. Gonna. Happen.

    Oh, good. We have a troll circle-jerk imported from TP Watch. One troll farts and the other extols its bouquet.

    Swede and ese need to get a room. Or perhaps a mens room stall? ;)

    Swede, you need to get your talking points straight. First you say we are too P.C. Now you say we use toilet humor.

    I actually like South Park and Beavis and Butthead. :)

    Whatever turns you on.Democrats are so kinky!!!


  13. the_svedberg Says:

    I love South Park! Did you see the one about SF liberals smelling their own farts? both creators are confirmed libertarians, which basically means they can attack anyone and not feel bad about it. Since when is toilet humor un-PC? The two are very disconnected. I just think that toilet humor on a political blog is kinda low-brow…jeez I really dont get the PC jab, I’m not offended at all by your toilet humor. You’d have to try really hard to offend me…I just really enjoy reading the childish comments on this site, it’s a real eye-opener and very different from the posts I read on more conservative-leaning sites

    Phew!

    I am so lucky that, by pure chance, I didn’t hold my breath when you first started your Rove Watch.

    Man, would I be in quite the bind now…

    /sarc off

    Please stop mentioning this tub-o-lard, I really do not wish to have that Ned Beatty image haunting me

    Could you please point me toward an interesting conservative site. The ones I have checked out are super lame. By the way, I like your dumbass condescending approach. It isn’t very different from the stuff a have seen at those afore mentioned sites

    Hold everything! Did someone actually make a comment at TP watch?


  19. Robt Says:

    I guess it would be to much to have expected but, When Howard Dean was on and told Chris Wallace FOX has had extreme partisan issues. He could have pointed this conflict of interest with FOX and Rove as just another simple example.

    Be patient because FOX and Rove are very very busy right now working hard on McCain’s campaign. They’ll get to it.


  20. GeeDubs Says:

    Think Progress…please stop this. There is no way they will ever admit Rove’s ties to McCain. You are on a fruitless search that will yield little to no results…sort of like our foray into Iraq.


  21. Doug McMurray Says:

    Give credit where credit is due. Karl Rove is the greatest political strategist…ever. (Even better than Carville!) He managed to get George W. Bush, the dopey, silver-spoon son of a former President, elected to TWO terms of office.


  22. Jack08 Says:

    Clinton takes Indiana by a ‘razor’ and Obama wins North Carolina by a huge margin. Nevertheless, Kentucky, Montana and West Virginia are still to come.

    The Democratic race for nomination is still very much alive – and most likely to be decided by superdelegates

    If you’re tired of waiting around for those super delegates to make a decision already, go to LobbyDelegates.com and push them to support Clinton or Obama

    If you haven’t done so yet, please write a message to each of your state’s superdelegates at http://www.lobbydelegates.com

    Obama Supporters:

    Sending a note to current Obama supporters lets them know it’s appreciated, sending a note to current Clinton supporters can hopefully sway them to change their vote to Obama, and sending a note to the uncommitted folks will hopefully sway them to vote for Obama. It’s that easy…

    Clinton Supporters too …. !

    It takes a moment, but what’s a few minutes now worth to get Clinton in office?! Those are really worth !

    Sending a note to current Clinton supporters lets them know it’s appreciated, sending a note to current Obama supporters can hopefully sway them to change their vote to Clinton, and sending a note to the uncommitted folks will hopefully sway them to vote for Clinton. It’s that easy…
