Hey, question for you all: if you were a real Helen Thomas reporter, what kinds of questions (and followups) would you ask Karl Rove in light of Luskin's flipping Conyers the bird (PDF)?
aha?

Looks like Bill C may be the key to the end of this:

Discreet merger talks between key campaign staff and leading fundraisers in both camps are already under way. But the process of healing is fraught with friction after accusations of sexism, racism and other insults.
Bill Clinton has been stung by accusations that he played the “race card” by referring to Obama’s story as a “fairy-tale” and comparing his early success in South Carolina with that of the Rev Jesse Jackson, the failed black presidential candidate, in the 1980s.
Nevertheless, friends said they expected the former president to campaign hard for Obama once the nomination is settled.

From Below:
Bill Clinton thought he was off the hook regarding Danny Williams. Danny is now a teenager and does not know the identify of his father. While growing up, his mother told him his father was Bill Clinton. Arkansas troopers had actually taken Christmas presents to Danny on behalf of Bill.
Danny's mother is Bobbi Ann Williams. She happens to be black, and when Clinton knew her in Little Rock, she was a crack cocaine hooker. When Clinton would go for a jog and take a little break from his duties at the governor's mansion, there was at least one occasion in which Bobbi Ann serviced him in the bushes.
Pictures of Danny bear a striking resemblance to Clinton. As evidence of her story that they had an affair, Bobbi Ann was able to accurately describe the inside of the home of Clinton's mom, Virginia Kelley. The only way she would know that is if she was the housekeeper, she had broken in, or someone took her there. She was not the housekeeper. There is no record of a break in. We are left to the conclusion that her story is true, and it was their love nest.
...
Bill Clinton, who has used the "N" word, who has used black people all his life, needs to be shown for who he really is. How will people feel if they know that he has been a deadbeat dad, particulary of a child who is half black?
Yeh, no comments. Right. I believe that.
Nevertheless, friends said they expected the former president to campaign hard for Obama once the nomination is settled.
They should never use hard and Bill Clinton in the same sentence.
okay, namestealer, we got it the first time, now buzz off.
Oh hell, once again here's pics from my trip today (and a couple from yesterday).

[takes notes]
NTodd the only thing I can think to ask Rove is "have you no shame, Sir? Have you, at last, no shame" and we know the answer to that. I guess, "Why should future generations not spit every time they hear your name?" would work.

By the way, I have a post up on the dangerous delusions of John McCain.
Obama never should have made Hillary mention RFK.

NTodd:
Mr. Rove, you said that you had "the" math. Obviously, you didn't. Why should we listen to you?
Mr. Rove, do you still think that a long-term political co-alition can be based on an appeal to fundie xians?
Mr. Rove, was hating on the gays not enough to sustain a political movement? Why, then, did you urge such a policy?
Mr. Rove, is that blood on your hands?
BERLIN (Reuters) - The United States is already in a recession and it will be longer as well as deeper than many people expect, U.S. investor Warren Buffett said in an interview published in German magazine Der Spiegel on Saturday.

"Mr. Rove, is it true that you designed and ordered 200 'Get Out Of Jail Free' cards for all of the White House Staff?"
"And was the contract put out to bid?"
"Mr. Rove, why do you have an aversion to testifying under oath?"
Follow-up:
"How, exactly, is it against your religion?"
Mr. Rove, on what legal basis can you claim executive privilege for allegedly criminal behavior beyond the reasonable scope of your duties?

Echidne, I need to thank you for your good work on this blog and your own making clear why the constant drumbeat of sexist criticism of Hillary Clinton is bad for us all. Really. Reading your comments & posts helps me keep in mind that it's not just me being paranoid.
Thanks.

Well, then leave the puppy part out.
Rove, what would you do differently if you had the chance and why?
Do you think the people that have lost their lives because of your efforts on behalf of the Bush administration will be waiting for you when you die?
Do you think anyone would save you from drowning?
How can you trust the waiters not to spit in your food?

The diaries at dkos are shameful. The anti-Clinton hatred, paranoia, and conspiracy theories on display there remind me of the wingnut output against her husband 10 years ago.

It's been eye-opening. The thought I just can't escape is that this ....call it what you will.... is what Jung and Hoffer were writing about.
It is sobering beyond measure to see what Jung called "the beast" stirring again.
Mr Rove,
If it true you and NTodd are in love and plan a June wedding in Massachusetts?

Sick fucks.

US ambassador: al-Qaida close to defeat in Iraq
Considering that al-Qaida in Iraq is almost entirely a fictional construct, that ain't much of an achievement.

He's checking the sales of Al-Qaeda Forever hats at the market stalls. They're not selling for shit.
The "hatred" of HRC and GWB may be over the top if words were equivalent to actions, but it does not diminish the fact that one is a proven lousy POTUS and the other is a proven lousy campaigner.
Mr. Rove, just what "math" led you to believe in 2006 that there was no chance of the Democrats taking over Congress?
Mr. Rove, do you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain?
Even if Al Qaeda in Iraq is not doing well that doesn't mean that the resistance isn't there.
Since the war was a complete farcical lie what was all the torture about-just sadistic orgasms or what? Was this all about what the well placed did on invitation--watch the torture? I read that 150 were tortured to death at Gitmo. That's a lot of jazz.
"Ron Suskind writes that you once said of a political opponent that you would 'fuck him like he's never been fucked before.'
"If by chance, you end up in prison for your actions during your tenure in the Bush administration, do you believe that turnabout's fair play?"

I've said it here before, but Georgie is going to either have his grave site made out of urine-proof marble, or he's going to have to hide where he's buried. There will be a long line of people wanting to pay their respects...

tortured to death?
I hadn't read that, but sadly, it wouldn't surprise me.
Honestly? I don't know how psychologists and psychiatrists cope.
The prosecutors at the Hague can use that.

Hecate, one of the Gitmo lawyers, H. Candace Gorman (civilian), is currently at the Hague on a "fellowship."

Does anyone really think the majority of Iraqis fighting our occupying military forces within their soveriegn territory are going to dry up and go away? This seems to be the objective for the US forces: We will leave only when no one opposes our occupation. Good luck on that....

The repuke mindset is, "We'll stay until they stop fighting us, at which point we will have to stay indefinitely to make sure they have stopped fighting us"

You know all these questions are great, but to really pull this off there are usually three steps
1) Create questions
2) Anticipate the answer of first question (spin)
3) Create challenge to spin, ask question again or follow up to the spin line with a comment about the spin (Surely you aren't going to use the tired "executive privilege" line that was already discounted on (date).
4)Why are aren't you answering the question? Do you really have this much contempt for the process and this body that you won't answer this?
5) Have person number two-(another supporter) pick up where you left off.
That way it doesn't seem like the poor baby is being picked on. It would be best if the person doing the follow up is from the other side of the aisle, but that won't happen you might say.'"Clearly you won't answer our questions with anything that even approaches clarity. Hopefully my good friend and colleague Bob Republican will ask you the same question and you will answer, I know that Bob is a long time believer in the rule of law and I know he is as curious as I am to know the story.

Rove thought when he first met Georgie that he was overloaded with charisma...
The incident marked the genesis of the Rove-Bush axis and it was in Washington that Rove met the younger Bush. He fell, politically speaking, in love. "Huge amounts of charisma, swagger, cowboy boots, flight jacket, wonderful smile, just charisma - you know, wow," Rove recalled years later.

Clinton isn't just a "lousy campaigner". Sure she has made some mistakes, but she also gets much more scrutiny from the media than anyone else does, so it's all overblown.
The media are still pissed that they failed to destroy Bill Clinton and they take it out on Hill, just like they took it out on Gore in 2000.
Considering how many people lined up against Clinton immediately and the media darling that Obama is, Clinton made quite a race out of it. Most other Dems would have folded long ago.
She has gained more than a few admirers actually for her tenacity. She will probably have even more after Obama gets Mondaled in November.
CNN puts Lou Dobbs on Saturday too?
That's just not right.
That's all you know, Ellroon.
Hmmm. Interesting article on Florida governor Charlie Crist's involvement in Huggy Bear's campaign. Crist is hangin' with the Hugster in Arizona this weekend.
"There's tremendous pressure on Crist," said Ed Rollins, a top Republican strategist. "Crist has to deliver Florida. He gets tarnished if he doesn't. He needs to prove he has the same organization and ability to deliver the state that Jeb [Bush] had."
It's unlikely the affable and sunny Crist is feeling the heat. He always stays cool. Indeed, he's so conscious about the image that aides set up mini-fans for him at press-conference podiums so he doesn't perspire on camera.
Heh.
If Crist is the VP pick, I'll eat my hat. Ain't gonna happen. No way.

Thanks. You know I helped Dick Durbin with his questions before the Pet food Industry mouthpiece. It was very gratifying to be able to give him solid questions and follow up questions to ask.
People always use the line from lawyers "Don't ask any questions that you don't know the answer too." But this only half the battle with media trained executives.
If you know HOW he will answer then you can bust him on this answer. Sometimes you bust him BEFORE he even answers the question.
Example,
"Now I'm going to ask you about such and such an event and before you answer, "I don't recall" I'd like to remind you of two things.
1) You are under oath and
2)I have in my possession a document where you talk about this exact event and have an exchange about it with a key player. So if you use a variation of "I don't recall" I will expect this clip to show up on the Daily Show and all the nightly news and all the talk radio station in the country showing the entire country how blatant your comment will be and you disrespect of the rule of law and the government of the American people.
Now here is the question:"
The old industrial site down the road from us has been completely taken over by honeysuckle. I just rode by it with the wind coming from the right direction and the scent nearly knocked me off my bike.
That seems like a nice replacement for an industrial site. Honeysuckle's an industrious plant...
