And so the rehabilation begins, who you goning to believe, Rove or your own lying eyes?

Anything’s possible, they’re trying to put one of the worst Presidents on the fifty dollar bill, maybe they’ll only name a town or two after Rove by the time he’s done revising history.

Get your “news” from think propaganda much “jim r?’

Why not give Ronnie the “fitty” dollar bill? We gave Lincoln the five dollar bill and the damage he did to this country from the destruction of the South, race relations, genocide of the Plains Indians and modern total war are all things still felt today.

Rove is bad ass. He’s a political genius and we Republicans are lucky to have him.

Ah…Jim R…Exactly who are “they”? One Republican Congressman doesn’t exactly constitute a “they”.

Whenever I read a piece on a Republican and the sentence structure screams….BIAS!!!!, I simply check the organ and the writer…usually tells me all I need to know about the bias of the publication/site and the “journalist”. First is Martel writing abut Lauer…of course anything that can be negative will be. I bet Carville doesn’t get asked about: where the host probed into Rove’s understanding of “Rovian” politics, his role in the more negative aspects of both George W. Bush presidential campaigns. But, I guess stupid is as stupid does.
I would love to see Carville’s reply to that one without “filthy” language that permeates the Left.

Like him or hate him (Rove, that is, not Lauer)…he is good…far better than any of his counterparts for the DNC / Libs…

…and @Frances…overall, nice article; but..to your quote:

“When prompted to discuss his view of “Rovian” politics – a style Lauer described as dirty, ruthless and highly effective”

are you practicing the Brian Williams’ method of speaking your opinion while not actually speaking your opinion? (ie..invoking someone else’s quote to speak it for you)?

One Republican Congressman with 14 co-sponsers equals what percentage of the House minority?

The hagiography and historical revisionism continues of Reagan, and it’s just getting started for Bush II. That’s all the right has since facts have a well known liberal bias.

I heard a piece on Andrea Mitchell today (sans Ms. Mitchell) with Turd Blossom bellyaching about how the press trashed his parents. Interesting thing is, no one had ever heard the “news” about his parents. Not Guthrie. Not Buchanan. I think TB got a bit mixed up or messed up. That came from Texas Republican primary when W was running. Apparently, it was a somewhat unknown story until the book presented an opportunity for some plenary moaning.

Indeed. But, I’m not sure the Reagan revisionism has legs. Nancy did a far worse job than Jackie in making the case early and effectively. Reagan was, by today’s standards, a life-time ago, and it is surprising how few Americans know of him and his administration, and of that number, how few approve. We have to remember that Reagan’s most intense supporters were middle age or elderly in 1980. The judgment of history is more likely going to result in a continuing slide into mediocrity.

For W, it is too early to tell, but it appears much history is now written instantly. That history has been far from kind. And, W has no champion. I’m not sure Laura and the girls much care and Poppy and Babs are too wrapped up in their own legacy. Jebbers would like to see W a distant memory.

So, I agree, there is considerable revisionism, but it is of the tainted and tinted memories of a dying breed. More comical than historical.

Little Herr Rove and the GOP-Culters. Our bridge to the Fifteenth Century. Yup!

You loons are totally off topic. Hypocrite much?

Nah, Jim is a “true believer.” I don’t think the guy has ever said anything positive about any Republican. If it’s an “R” it’s bad… if it’s a “D” is good, or better. But it doesn’t stop there… for him, if it’s bad, it’s an “R.” He’s attributed just about every societal ill on Republicans… and has just enough information to “back up” his goofy claims, even if more information would lead him to a different conclusion. He’s a “true believer,” ThinkProgress has nothing on him.
