Raging Cynic

In an April 1st opinion piece released to the Wall Street Journal [l ink], former Bush “Adviser” Karl Rove accused the Obama administration of engaging in tactics of intimidation to bolster support for the proposed economic plan. I’m not going to argue costs and benefits of the plan here. This is a “pot calling the kettle black” rant. Karl Rove, whose campaigns of intimidation and mudslinging  got Bush into the White House and helped start us down this road of insanity and prove to the world that and idiot can run the world (so long as we don’t care how it’s run), has the gaul to start saying Obama isn’t playing fair by reminding a Democrat which side he’s supposed to be on?

It seems to me that what Rove is really upset about is the (extremely vague) possibility of his job description becoming obsolete with the arrival of politicians who choose not to hide behind hatchet men.
