Matalin on msnbc: Rove to be "unleashed" on Dems

[librechik]

and apparently it will be a "pretty" thing to watch.

I'm beginning to understand why Abu Ghraib happened.

It would also be a "CATASTROPHE FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY" if the Republicans lose the House.

Mary, will it be as big a catastrophe as Katrina? Or Iraq?


Apparently Rove, though his portfolio was removed, did not get a demotion. He just is so good he can play any position on the team. Don't worry, despite rumors, there will be no changes in the BushCo field lineup on VD day (destroy the democrats day)

Isn't E Pluribus Unum great?

[mdmc]

1. i'll take rove over nuclear war in iraqn if given the choice

:patriot:

[Greeby]

7. Word is that Turd Blossom is trying to talk Shrub out of it

Becuase he's a slimeball who only cares about winning elections. And he knows what will happen politically if this attack goes ahead

[ShortnFiery]

11. I agree with Begala ...

Rove is NOT the Alpha and Omega of Political Smear Campaigns.

If you think about what he's done, it's not genius that astounds us, it's the complete lack of conscious and moral depravity of the actions.

He's leaking junk to his butt boy, Matt Drudge. Yada yada yada ...

The patterns are glaringly simple and are wearing thin on the average American Sheeple who are more concerned <drum roll> with the price of gas and making ends meet for their families.

In the cushy 90s, such trash-talk was "fun" but leisure time is becoming few and far between.

When times are HARD, smear campaigns easily backfire, especially when instigated by incumbents. ;)

[rodeodance]

but--they have the media to help them now--and I think more so than

previously.




,,,,When times are HARD, smear campaigns easily backfire, especially when instigated by incumbents.

[ShortnFiery]

24. It won't work ... media won't influence squat when people are PISSED

with their Life Situation. Every day will be more and more disenchanting working for asinine corporate masters. As we see our family members suffer minimum wage and are unable to afford to send our children to college, the media whores will only have themselves (and each other) to love.

[paparush]

33. Just WHEN is that gonna happen? America gettin PISSED...

When's that gonna happen? What's it going to take? Lie after lie after fucking lie, scandal after scandal after fucking scandal, war after war after fucking war...and most of america doesn't give a rats ass....

[wordpix]

43. also, a lot of the media is pissed off, too. It's only the Drudge-O'Leill

ys that aren't

[Protagoras]

30. True but it won't hurt if he believes his own hype.

let repugs shackle their campaigns to his soon to be indicted ass. Then they'll all get serviced in the way they so richly deserve.

[renate]

55. exactly! he's no genius, he's just completely without conscience

But his lies and smears won't work any more because the media have turned against the administration. I doubt that he has any other tactics to fall back on.

[noonwitch]

58. Rove will never be as good at it as Atwater was

Even Rove has never smeared my favorite baseball player by making political ads with a killer who shared the same name.

The real Willie Horton is a great guy-a former Tiger from the 68 World Series champions, who buys tickets for poor kids to attend games, is a community leader in this city, his home town, and is just an all around decent man. To have to share his name with some sociopathic killer is too much.

[Jack from Charlotte]

14. AWOL/morons unsolvable problem..? Iraq-nam. No matter what they say....

Iraq-nam will be hung around the AWOL/morons neck like an albatross.

And BTW,.... any time a Dem brings up anything about Iraq-nam they should ALWAYS begin by reminding everyone of the repugs failure to catch the person who gave us 9/11... Bin Laden.

[wtmusic]

2. I'm quaking in my Birkenstocks

Keep that nasty feral attack-propagandist AWAY FROM ME!

:rofl:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. This displays their mindset

which is to destroy all enemies using any means, fair or foul. You see this not only in politics, but how they have treated prisoners, etc.

[sharp_stick]

4. When has Rove ever been leashed

Unless he was around when Gannon was visiting the White House, performing the function of "reacharound guy" I really don't think he's ever been leashed.

I really hope the Dems don't try to pull any of that "We're above this kind of politics" crap they did in 2004. I want them to hit every repuke with every piece of dirt they can dig up and then pick up the dirt and fling it at the prick again and again.

[Bill McBlueState]

5. yeah, that's just great

Because "unleashing" an evil bastard on a whole political party sure isn't a catastrophe for anyone. :eyes:

I'm sure this kind of attack-dog crap is exactly what the framers had in mind when they set up the government.

[timber84]

6. "Who let the dog's out"

sorry couldn't resist.

[baby_mouse]

8. At every single stage of the fight

All anyone will have to do is say: "So, Karl, you ratted out an undercover agent for vengeance. How's the investigation? Still ongoing?"

There is no longer any need to lock step with the Republican administration in any verbiage. Rove's unleashing will have no more effect than a gnat.

[glitch]

9. Reeks of bravado. Interesting. nt

[Canuckistanian]

10. Oh, yeah, Mary, life in America is paradise now

Wouldn't want to spoil that.

[cbear70]

31. she is delusional

She was on GMA this morning spouting how wonderful the economy is and how much Bush has done for America, she also disagreed firmly with Gibson over New Orleans. They are not angry with Bush, in fact they are so happy with how he has handled things...

:wtf:

She makes me :puke:

[Rose Siding]

12. He could be called a janitor but his job wouldn't change

http://politicalwire.com/archives/2006/04/20/inside_the_shake_up.html

Time quotes one Bush friend: "Karl could be called the janitor and his role with the President would not change."

[TayTay]

13. What happens if KKKarl gets indicted?

Then who gets 'unleashed' on the whole world? Fitzgerald apparently just presented evidence to a grand jury in support of criminal charges being filed against Rove. Wouldn't that mean a resignation and Rove having to devote his time to preparing for a trial?

[Justice Is Comin]

20. You win

a big brand new Amana refrigerator compliments of the Newly-indicted game.

[TayTay]

38. Oh, oh, oh goodie

I'll make sure they have tbe delivery address.

Does it come with an ice-maker that generates ice cubes in the shape of heads of famous indicted Rethugs? That would be good for parties.

[kentuck]

15. Meme of the day:

It will be A "CATASTROPHE FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY" if Republicans lose the House. Uh-huh. Thanks Mary.

[rodeodance]

21. she is trying to bring in Repugs to voting (as it seems many may want

to just sit out the 06 election)

[SlavesandBulldozers]

60. Catastrophe? isn't that their specialty? n/t

[DemoTex]

16. Why do these lines from Vachel Lindsey come to mind (re: Rove)?

Death is an Elephant,
Torch-eyed and horrible,
Foam-flanked and terrible.
BOOM, steal the pygmies,
BOOM, kill the Arabs,
BOOM, kill the white men,
HOO, HOO, HOO.

Listen to the yell of Karl Rove's ghost
Burning in Hell for his hand-maimed host.
Hear how the demons chuckle and yell
Cutting his hands off, down in Hell.

My apologies to Mr. Lindsey.

[librechik]

39. good god, DemoTex

apt indeed! BTW, the poet, accompanied by native drummers used to perform this piece around the country to crowds of rural folk. He was fabulously successful, for a poet and for the times. But a leeetle bit chauvinistic.

hope everything's going well for you, Mac!

:loveya:

[DemoTex]

41. Thanks, LC ...

I often am at odds over The Congo. Some of the poem has racist overtones, IMO. But the section I posted always comes to mind when I think of Rove and the GOP mascot (torch-eyed and horrible, foam-flanked and terrible .. indeed!).

[oasis]

17. Democrat Agenda: "Impeachment payback" . Rove/corporate media will say

America needs a party with a plan to move forward while the Dems focus on revenge.

Rove will attempt to remove all legal justifications that Democrats might have for impeachment and characterize their actions as "Bush hate".

[Ezlivin]

18. "Unleashed"? This admin has a thing with bondage and discipline!

The Republicans sure are some kinky bastards.

[eek]

19. This is why i've rolled my eyes at the reportage suggesting this

was a demotion.

No way: it just means he will be working full time (out of the white house, on our dime) as Secretary of Dirty Tricks.

[BeyondGeography]

22. Bushworld has been a "pretty" thing to watch, too, Mary

If your pleasure is phony wars that cost tens of thousands of innocent lives, displays of previously unimaginable incompetency and mounting debts that will be paid for by your little children.

[Rockholm]

23. She used "catastrophy" on ABC this morning.

Already tossing out the talking points.

[wordpix]

46. Let's just throw the repuke words back at them: catastrophe is your war in

Iraq, your response to Katrina, your $9 trillion debt that is making the middle class poor. Catastrophe is your energy policy that has caused gas prices to rise nearly 300% in 3 yrs. Catastrophe is your environmental policy that has led to the selloff of our national lands and resources at bargain basement prices.

[bdamomma]

25. come on fitz

indict Rove please.

[Me.]

29. Not Just Rove

Who says she's home free? As a member of WHIG and a close pal of Cheney (called a Cheney Angel) who's to say she won't yet be embroiled in this in a specific way?

[antonialee839]

26. Hopefully a whack on the snout from Fitzgerald will not only

keep Rove on the leash, but eventually put him in a cage where he belongs.

[BoneDaddy]

27. I would like to unleash

a pack of pit bulls on mr. rove and see the result.

[baby_mouse]

28. A catastrophe?

Like, say, Katrina?

[Cerridwen]

32. And apparently, Fitzgerald is about to be unleashed on rove

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x975688

The grand jury session in federal court in Washington, DC, sources close to the case said, was the first time this year that Fitzgerald told the jurors that he would soon present them with a list of criminal charges he intends to file against Rove in hopes of having the grand jury return a multi-count indictment against Rove.


I think rove is going to be a bit busy these next months.

[wisteria]

34. I think the Democrats and the public are wise to Rove at this point.

he has used up all the tricks in his bag.

[Blue_Roses]

35. well, somebody needs to "unleash" on Rove

time to play dirty as well.

[kentuck]

36. The more they can make it like an athletic contest....

the better they will do. So long as it is not about the lives of the AMerican people and the futures of their children. Let's make it about the "liberals vs conservatives". Keep it simple and don't confuse the people with facts.

[Nimrod2005]

37. I hope Fitzy unleashes about 10 indictments in the meantime...NT

[w8liftinglady]

40. democrats need to stay on point-point out that all the repubs have

are attacks-no plan...just like the schoolyard bully.people are tired of attack ads.

[insane_cratic_gal]

42. Umm Clue Matalin, I don't Rove has many more tricks

left in the bag!

Soon to be too busy covering his own ass to fend off the masses. Leaking classified information is after all a federal offense, as is lying to federal investigators.

I love Fitz, he makes me believe that a small bit of justice still exists in this country

[Dr. Death]

44. I didn't realize pigs were kept on leashes

:shrug:

But then I probably don't have as much experience around barnyard animals as Matalin does.

[wordpix]

45. oh, I'm scared of TurdBlossom. NOT! Next time he swiftboats a good Dem

we will not hesitate to whack him back where he belongs---in jail!

[wordpix]

47. hehe,I can only imagine what it's like at the Matalin-Carville household!

:rofl:

[alfredo]

48. Shouldn't the RNC be paying him instead of the Taxpayers?

I have called my congressman to see who is paying him to do partisan political campaign work.

[Norquist Nemesis]

53. We ALL should call our Congresspeoples on this issue

WE (taxpayers) should not be paying one single penny toward Rove's salary and he should not be allowed to collect one dollar of taxpayer's money! If he's working on campaigns/elections, let the RNC take care of him!!! :grr:

[alfredo]

56. I've already called Ben Chandler. I won't even try calling my

two Repuglican senators, McConnell and Bunning.

[Mr_Spock]

49. Fuck Matalin - that skanky old hag

She's no better than that evil Malkin - they even have similar names.

[yodermon]

50. Fuck mary matalin.

May she rot in prison for treason and conspiracy to commit treason, with the rest of the WHIG.
May carville's sex life be reduced to conjugal visits.

[WI_DEM]

51. He won't get too far in a prison cell

[dave29]

52. Oh No! The Big Bad GOP is coming

Red Meat

[Dr Fate]

54. Do we think elected Democrats are as tough and agressive as we are?

I think that is somthing we are missing.

Rove does not fool us, and the average DUers could smack him down- but what have the elected DEMS done to show they know how to punch Rove in his throat?

I'm worried that DEMS will fall for his tricks again.

We often mistake how we or a normal person would respond to bullies for what elected Democrats actaully end up doing.

[Canuckistanian]

57. Whatever happened to the 'slap on the wrist' theme?

They abandoned that one early.

Now he's being transformed into "super-Campaigner-Man", able to smear Dem opponents with a single "traitor" lie.

[Imagevision]

59. Mary darlin, I would be more concerned when Fitzgerald becomes "unleashed
