this comment tells us a lot more about Rove than about Obama. Poor Karl, you must have had a tough adolescence.

Olbermann already excoriated Rove for this last night but it bears repeating: the legacy Yale C student jock with a nick-name for everyone is the arrogant and judgemental elitist, not Senator Obama.

Bush is one of the cool kids -- Will Ferrel's frat-boy character is a better unintentional characture of Bush than his dead-on Bush impersonations ever were, because it accurately portrays the mindset of our man-child president. Turd-blossom's enduring "bromance" for the Codpiece in Chief is a testimony to the irrational love of inadequate peacocks such as Bush.

The difference between peacock Obama and peacock Bush is that when Obama is president it will be because he earned it, not because a repressed homosexual atheist strategist and the Supreme Court put him there; in spite of not having the most powerful legacy at an Ivy League school and not having the most powerful dad in the world.

In spite of, not because of. Obama is elite, but not in the way dough boy Rove means it, instead the good way. When being "elite" was something worth striving for, not to be avoided.

I guess if you are a mediocre intelligence, intellectually incurious with a damaged self-esteem you might chaff, as Bush does, when someone comes along who can make their nouns agree with their verbs. Psychologist Rove, unaware of his transparently homo-erotic fawning over Bush, is simply appealing to America's inferiority complex and sense of entitlement ("its not fair, that smarter, cooler, more handsome guy that earned his status from hard work thinks he's better than us!").

... I call you my base"?

It's pretty ridiculous, if anything Barack Obama is the black guy they won't let into the country club, or if they did they'd talk about him behind his back. And the White House IS the country club -- "psst, I hear he's a muslim"...

I'll let him do his lecture circuits and coin little phrases, but it seems like a silly thing.

You'll let him? I'm pretty sure Karl Rove doesn't seek your approval.

Lord, how I love to see Turdblossom get dissed! And so masterfully, too. And I love to see them whine about it, too. They're great at dishing it out, but pretty lousy at taking it. What goes around comes around, Bushies.

The only way it could have been better would have been for him to make the "Rove is for McCain, Rove was Bush's Man, McCain is thus tied to Hated Bush thru' equally Hated Rove" connection!

Once more illuminating the fact that McBush = McSame in yet another disgusting way! priceless...

As defined by Webster: the attribution of one's own ideas, feelings, or attitudes to other people.

This is something the rethugs do very well. They can't govern, but they are very skilled at claiming their opponents possess THEIR shameful attitudes and shortcomings. An arrogant putz like Rove proclaiming anyone else arrogant is just too rich.

Limbaugh is a master at this. For example, he constantly claims libs are racist, and then proceeds to spew his racism.

I'm hopeful that most of the American people have wised up to this BS. Not the dittoheads of course -- I'm talking about the rational people.

Handmade vodka. All you have to do is buy it once and save the bottle. I promise none of the people you are trying to impress will ever know the difference.

For stating the obvious,

Salon should never, ever, ever, EVER, quote, cover or refer to TurdBlossom ever again. His place in history is cemented in the tragedy that is BUSH II. Please let him fade away.

Now, unless it has to do with him, going to jail (or hell for that matter) Salon shall not print his name. Ever.

Look Mr.Moderator a clean obscenity free rant.

'"We will fuck him. Do you hear me? We will fuck him. We will ruin him. Like no one has ever fucked him!"'

"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers."

"Has there ever been a more revealing moment this year? Let me just put this in fairly simple terms: Al Jazeera now broadcasts the words of Senator Durbin to the Mideast, certainly putting our troops in greater danger. No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals."

And my personal favorite, "fair game."

Yeah, Rove has never said anything offensive or repugnant...

your comment is more repugnant than anything I've heard Rove say. By your statement, Rove is worse than genocidal dictators, terrorists, child molestors, etc etc etc?

about the beautiful girl

I get tired of hearing obama called arrogant. for someone to be arrogant they have to be seriously indifferent to the feelings of others. Rove qualifies. Bush qualifies. Cheney qualifies.

However, even in Obama's worst moments on the campaign trail ie "you're like enough Hillary" he added "that's for sure,"...which means he was not indifferent to her feelings even if it came off as unkind. Or his "elitist" comment about clinging to god and guns...he was searching for a kinder explanation than that they could be racist against him (why certain demographics wouldn't support him).

I have seen Obama ridiculed for this very quality by some of Clinton's supporters and McCain's supporters will be worst...for being "soft" or having heart.

However, Obama reminds me a little of my younger brother. My brother too is good looking, funny, easily makes friends, and is, like many good looking men, a little vain. Like my brother, and like John Edwards, Obama might like what he sees when he looks in the mirror. He might have a healthy self regard. Yet, like my brother, I see Obama as seriously pained if he causes pain to others. He tries very hard to avoid it. So for those of us who know him, we realize that he is not arrogant. Far from.

Where some people have seen Obama's desire not to hurt the feelings of others as a weakness, I see it as a strength that someone of Rove's emotional machinery could never understand, far less appreciate.
