An incident that has been mentioned by five different independant sources and Rove says "It may not have happened"?
Is this the same guy that insisted the invading Iraq was the right thing to do because a ouiji board and a cup of tea leaves told W that Iraq had WMD?
I thought the most notable thing about this interview was that four or five times Hannity asked Rove about the "pranks" and four or five times Rove tried to wave Hannity off the subject by saying that it wasn't important. Hannity kept ignoring Rove's efforts to detour the discussion. Obviously Rove is frantic to get the discussion back to the economy, but he wasn't getting any help from Hannity.
Be it Last Night .. Today .. This evening .. Tomorrow ... The Speech will be the same .. Always the SAME ... The amount of SunLight, will only have changed !
Oh, and it helps that he has absolutely so sense of ethics or morals.
Mitt Romney is a vulture capitalist. That's worse than being a prankster by far, and not a good past with which to run for POTUS.
Also, it comes in handy for wiping your a$$ on when you are selling out America for a few bucks.
.............. AFFECT ! ........ !
The thing is That the ..Stars and Strips.. is Not Displayed CORRECTLY !
rule:
8. When the flag is displayed in a manner other than by being flown from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union ( blue field ) should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, that is, to the observer's left.
Now ! Now ! Carl, I do believe YOU Should KNOW BETTER !
Carl ? Were You A Foreign Student, Staying here Illegally, able to stay here because you are White ?
The thing is That the ..Stars and Strips.. are Not Displayed CORRECTLY !
Mr Rove appears to be like most movement conservatives...greedy, misinforming, racists and best of all PROUD of being that way.
When I think of the righwing in America, I see people trapped in the past. People who want slaves or who want to be above the law. We went to war in Iraq because of a lie...We sacrificed our ideals for torture and money. Hardly anyone stood up....And people wonder how Germany fell to the Nazi lies???
ahhh....we are on a path of destruction if we allow teh rightwing to run this country.
VOTE....QUESTION...VOTE...STAND FIRM...
Okay Mitt, yourass is covered now - Karl's on the case.
Before long the bobble-head teleprompter readers of the corporate controlled media will be playing a tape of Karl with proof, proof I say, that shows this was all a plot by Dan Rather and Rachel Maddow.
Stay tuned...
Rove controls more than a hundred million in super PAC money - he ain't just gonna buy "I Like Mitt" buttons with it.
I just don't find it hard to believe. Romney reminds me of those kids I knew growing up, the privileged but insecure types who built themselves up by encouraging others to gang up on that kid that wasn't quite what they considered 'normal'.
But ya. Big time bully who picks on the little guy but can't even stand up to Limbaugh.....Romney, what a piece of work.
Seriously dude, good to see you. I'll file this report on behalf of my other friend, Andy (Borowitz), talent extraordinaire - like yourself ;-):
NEW YORK - (The Borowitz Report) - Today, presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney released the following open letter to the American people:
Dear Friends:
This week, The Washington Post reported an incident from my high school days in which I bullied a gay classmate by pinning him to the ground and cutting his hair off. This story revealed a side of Mitt Romney that may have been surprising to many of you: the Mitt Romney with an irrepressible and hilarious sense of humor.
Some of you may say, "Hold on, Mitt - isn't holding a kid down and cutting off his hair going a little far?" Well, the merry prankster in me tells me you can never go too far when it comes to giving the greatest gift of all: the gift of laughter. And I certainly remember many of us laughing long and hard about what I did to that Nancy-boy. Was it cruel? Perhaps, but it’s not like I tied him to the roof of a car or anything.
The Democrats have already tried to seize on this incident as evidence that I don't like gays. That is a lie. I have nothing against gays. Except for the poor ones, of course. And as any of my high school chums can tell you, I did not go out of my way to pick on gay kids. I was also a total doouche to many heterosexuals.
The fact is, boys will be boys. Who among us hasn't shoved a crippled kid down a flight of stairs? That’s something else I did in those mischievous days, but the mainstream media isn't reporting it because they want to turn this into an anti-gay thing. The fact is, when I was in high school I played pranks on everyone - blind kids, deaf kids, dwarves and Jews. Although come to think of it, I don't think our school accepted Jews.
Now that I've put my actions into better context, I hope you'll see this incident with the gay kid for what it was: innocent good fun. And I hope when you vote in November, you won't judge me as the teenager who bullied one gay boy, but rather as the adult who fired thousands of people.
Vote for me,
Mitt Romney
One of Mitten's "pranks" was to hold a door closed as a sight impaired teacher walked into it. So Mittens wasn't quite a Richard Widmark character, pushing a little old lady in a wheelchair down a flight of stairs while giggling insanely, but he does seem to have a few empathy genes missing.
Pranks against those who have power and use it arrogantly seem much more humorous to me.
I ruv "the Andys" lol!
-Usually their family "owns this town" (political dynasty, wall street insider, multi millionaire, Bain capital)
-They have expensive clothes, nice hair, and a pack of mean suck-ups who follow them around (Fox news and right wing media)
-They lie, cheat, and do underhanded things to win the girl or the competition (denial of bullying, switching positions and platforms)
It's funny when it's Rodney Dangerfield or Mike Myers facing them, not so funny when it's real.
That reminds me of that Beritbrats article which praised Romney for cutting Lauber's hair because Lauber's hair was in violation of the school rules. Never mind the fact that Romney had no right or authority to do such a thing.
They sure do love their vigilantism over there.
Blame the victim and media-in-league-with-Obama conspiracy are 2 main themes.
Just why in the hell would anybody bother to listen?
Take the Washington Post, for instance, where you'll find Michael Gerson and Marc Thiessen.

"...with editorial comment masquerading as journalism.....sad, sad day..."
Oh FFS. The WP does a story about Romney assaulting a fellow student and you compare them to Faux Newz.
Sad day indeed.....
He also does promos for the local NPR station. Thanks for giving back J.L.
