Karl Rove joins FOX
By John Amato Monday Feb 04, 2008 2:00pm
I wonder what took Roger Ailes so long?
Karl Rove, the strategist behind President George W Bush's ascendancy to the White House, will join Rupert Murdoch's Fox News Channel as a contributor starting with Super Tuesday. Rove was chief strategist for Bush's 2000 presidential campaign and joined him in the White House in several capacities, including deputy chief of staff. He left the White House in August.
Wasn't he already on FOX's payroll? Filling that coveted role of the GOP's Chief Propagandist for Rupert.

Rove is scum.
...with a face for radio!
I stole the following quote from Kos, who got it from somewhere else.
"In a conference call with reporters, Clinton strategist Mark Penn announced that Clinton would like to face off against Obama in one debate every week between now and March 4."
The kicker is, Hillary wants to have one of these debates on Fox. I wonder if Rove advised her that this was a good idea? I hope Obama tells them to pack sand and refuses this bs.
now i can't watch faux noise anymore...
oh wait, i never did....
anyhoo, this would be more of a story if faux noise wasn't headed by roger ailes. who worked on reagan's and bush 41's campaigns...
for me, they don't need anymore discrediting. they reached the inglorious and putrid bottom a loooooooooooooong time ago.
that said, this is just further proof of faux noise's dishonesty, not that faux noise viewers give a rat's ass about "proof" (or facts, truth, data, laws, etc.)
It figures....He should fit "Right" in.
I know...don't wish for violence and death....but come on, just once?
But I thought that he wanted to spend time with his family? Don't tell me that he was lying!
Hot Karl with that face for radio and a fat ass for any manwhore who wants a piece of it . Just ask Jeff Gannon .
This would be a great time for Larry Flynt to come out with a big surprise article about him.
Rove has been carrying the water for the neo-cons for so long now it is pay back time in high paying visible jobs. Santorum has got his high paying gigs, too.
Just remember that your actions will only count on Judgement Day and He can see what is in your heart and soul. Spin will not work. Just remember George, Dick, and Karl will learn what it is like to Sadaamized because Hussein and his sons are waiting for our "little boys".
Seriously what will it take to put Fox news down for good?
Well, goody, goody for Fox. They have added one more traitor to their staff. Too bad it won't improve their ratings which are beginning to tank.
Is he bringing Jeff Gannon with him, for immoral support?
Just biding his time till he lands a regular column in the NY Times.
Thank you Fox for hiring that dick with glasses. I never ever watch your bullshit station.
pissed off patricia @ 9:
Larry's waiting until October. Voters have short memories. Don't want to let the truth out too soon.
Gee, the Karl Rove show.. I'd rather endure paper cuts across my corneas, thanks!
Karl goes to Faux, and so does:
Risking the ire of progressive activists, Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign announced that it has accepted a debate to air on Fox News on February 11, according to her chief strategist Mark Penn.
"There is an enormous interest in these debates an clamoring on the part of the Democratic Party for them," said Clinton's spokesperson Howard Wolfson. "We have not had a large number in which two people have participated. We've had multi-candidate debates... the fact is Senator Clinton has enjoyed the opportunity to debate and get her message out. Certainly as we move to the next exciting day of this nomination calendar, voters want the opportunity to see these two candidates compete against each other."
Though Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama have frequently appeared on Fox News for interviews, Clinton may be debating alone. Bill Burton, a spokesman for Obama, said that no plans existed as of now for his boss to participate in upcoming forums.
I was under the impression that Fox worked for Karl.
"I wonder what took Roger Ailes so long? "
Oh, they were just being subtle.
fuck him
cia finally admits to waterboarding at least 3 and using enhanced interogation....errrr torture at least 30 suspected terrorists
hmmmm...comes out right on super tuesday....kinda trying to lose this story in the fold...eh?
the reasoning for the waterboarding and torture is even more absurd....."because of the circumstances of the time — the belief that additional catastrophic attacks were imminent at a time when the U.S. had limited knowledge of how al-Qaida worked,"
we had limited knowledge of how al-qaida worked??? news to me
also below the fold on super tuesday, the rocket is giving secret sworn testimony to congress on his alledged steroid use....pray tell, why is this testimony behind closed doors...isnt congress investigating ped's to save the children?
Maybe he can team up with BillO since Bill's numbers aren't what they used to be. Who wouldn't tune in to see that show? Bill's big mouth and Rove's big head. If all else failed they could do a little rap together.
Wait...I thought Fox was Patriotic. So they hired a traitor??
Doesn't sound so patriotic to me.
ConcernedCanuck @ 18:
Good for Obama, I hope he stays the hell away from that slime pit. What the hell was Hillary thinking?
The troll is back. I thought he was held in comtempt of congress?
ConcernedCanuck @ 6:
I hear ya. Rove's face should make anyone go Elvis on their TV.
Poor wittle FAUX is so desperate for personel they're really quite literally scraping the bottom of the barrel and only coming up with rotten mush.
The only way to improve Karl's face is to put some prison bars in front of it.
Thank God, I cancelled Fox in time
Personally I'd love to see him interview someone and have them turn the tables on him and question him about his role in the war crimes that have been committed!
FoxNews: for all the up-to-the-minute disinformation you can stomach - NOW with lying traitors!
I thought Fox was on the White House payroll.
Don't know if anyone has noticed, but the DOW was down over three hundred points last I checked. Seems the service sectors have slowed and the market realizes this economic calamity is not over yet.
So Karl, how did you guys manage to totally fu*k up every damned thing these last seven years? That couldn't have been an accident, you guys must have had one hell of a plan.
FAUX Comedy Channel needs the world's biggest sack of shit to "contribute" what ???
They don't have enough lies and disinformation and need more ?
Albatross @ 32:
The Whitehouse is on Faux's payroll.
Lollimom @ 13:
Jeffy's under Kkkarl's desk.
pissed off patricia @ 24:
One question though. Who is she going to debate if Obama says "Cheney You Faux"???? I thought it was decided by the Dem Party that no debates on Faux and no campaigning in Florida and Michigan? What party is Hillary in?
Fox needs a new face to "catapult the propaganda"
shocker!
At least maybe Karl's lies will be put out for general consumption instead of sneakily behind the scenes. Maybe both now?
He and Fox deserve each other. No scruples at all.
ConcernedCanuck @ 18:
I thought it was only the Nazi Wolf Brigade hacks that worked for the Neocons who had wolf names. Or have they advanced in their territory?
ConcernedCanuck @ 18:
thanks for that...
friggin mark penn... correction, fucking mark penn.
the dem strategists: carville, shrum, begala, penn, etc. need to be sent on a permanent vacation. any candidate, like hillary and bill before her, that employs these immoral and dishonest pricks is a pathetic and pitiful candidate.
one small example: if you want to see just WHAT carville and his merry band of neoliberal assholes export to the rest of the world watch 'our brand is crisis' for an education in the dishonest, corporate world of political advising. it has nothing to do with democracy, honesty, humanity or fairness. it has everything to do with corporate favorites, money, money, corporations, money and ruling class concerns.
and, on the mark penn topic, i submit the following:
"Penn, who had previously worked in the business world for companies like Texaco and Eli Lilly, brought his corporate ideology to the White House. After moving to Washington he aggressively expanded his polling firm, Penn, Schoen & Berland (PSB). It was said that Penn was the only person who could get Bill Clinton and Bill Gates on the same phone line. Penn's largest client was Microsoft, and he saw no contradiction between working for both the plaintiff and the defense in what was at the time the country's largest antitrust case. A variety of controversial clients enlisted PSB. The firm defended Procter and Gamble's Olestra from charges that it caused anal leakage, blamed Texaco's bankruptcy on greedy jurors and market-tested genetically modified foods for Monsanto. Penn invented the concept of "inoculation," in which corporations are shielded from scandal through clever advertising and marketing. Selling an image, companies realized, was as important as winning a legislative favor."

when KKKristol is not enough, Hume do you call on?
ConcernedCanuck @ 37:
Kind of like when Hillary came down here to Fla. last Tuesday night after she won Fla. Her campaign said it was only a fund raising event. Okay fine, but her arrival was covered by all the news stations so she got some PR. Obama didn't come down here and neither did Edwards.
ConcernedCanuck @ 37:
Hillary has always been in her own party. The Dems are just along for the ride.
It's actually a good move for BushCo, Inc. Gotta stack the deck for McCain, given the "issues" he seems to have with some of them there (whether real or postured).
Even better though, it'll be a good pump priming for Jeb - and we all now how well KKKarl is at pump priming...
It'll be great when Karl Rove gets to interview George Bush. More softballs than you can shake a stick at.
I wonder if they'll have him cover or comment on any criminal investigations of violations of the Hatch Act in the Bush administration?
Sniff, sniff...what's that stench? Why, it Karl Rove about to embark on yet another bullshit media campaign.
broadsword @ 48:
He won't comment on an ongoing investigation.
bilhelm-X @ 17:
GAH!!! How 'bout paper cuts on that little flap o' skin betweenxt the thumb and pointer finger? That hurts like a sumbitch!
broadsword @ 48:
As if FAUX Comedy would ever cover that.
sometimes it's just better to put a dead horse to rest.
rove is a slimeball who sucks at the ass of cheney.
With the Republican Party in its last throes it makes sense that a slimebag like Rove would slither over to cable in an attempt to sustain hi waning political potency. The Emperor with no clothes meets the tabloid "news" channel with no conscience. A perfect match.
Pull Fox's FCC license , they are not and have not represented America and are only a propaganda machine for the right wing , even KGB agents envy, the way they CON even their own viewers .
If hasn't been side
NO MO' Fox Noose for me.
FOX is a shit magnet.
This jerk used taxpayer money to further the interest of FOX all along. So, you might say he was on their payroll too. If self-proclaimed wunderkind Fitzgerald would have done his job, Rove would have been wearing stripes vice a pin striped suit and free and about as he is. Rove has one and only one claim to fame and that is mud slinging dirty tricks politics. In other words he is one dimensional and that being the case how can he provide any meaningful political analysis? The idiots that championed his hiring are without a doubt just as mediocre as Rove.
said ,oops
Now the news path for talking points is more direct. Instead of Rove to Drudge to Fox to CNN to ABC/NBC/CBS, Drudge is cut out of the loop. Poor Matt. ROTFLMAO
Because , as everyone knows , fabricating stories is all FAUX is good at (and does) ; and they now have the best in the business at it.....................
I guess this means that faux is finally giving up any pretense that they are a legitimate news organization. They deserve each other. KKKarl has not one molecule of good in him.
Aaah yes... the old boys' club... One more glaring reason not to watch Faux Snooze!
Karl Rove should be in jail, although I know that someday he will rot in hell where he belongs.
Just another reason not to watch FUX news. One more very ugly white guy with a electronic flag behind him.
"KKKarl has not one molecule of good in him."
I was going to say he's good at spreading evil and good at lying. But neither of those things are very good, so I'll agree with your assessment of Karl Rove.
Oh goody. I can't wait to hear more of Karl's continuing attempts to re-write the truth about Bush's complete failure as a president.
At least now if they put him on a panel with one of the few liberal guests that Fox has on. They can then take some verbal shots at "Turd Blossum" as they call him. I would love seeing the smear master Rove take those tough questions. Of course Fox may protect him from that. Poor thing don't want to hurt his feelings,,the termite.
If the FCC had balls they'd disenfranchise Fox as a legitimate news network, since half the country has anyway. what worries me is that Rove now has a platform to start his nasty rumors. He's the biggest prick this country has seen after Cheney and Bush, and to give him a microphone is just. Sick.
Spicegal @ 64:
Karl is an atheist, so he doesn't believe in hell.
My guess is Rove is still working behind the scenes for Bush.
As disgusting as I find rove to be I'll give him credit for one thing. He WAS right in his prediction about the US Senate and the US House reamining Republican controled after the '06 elections. No one else was aware how many of the Democrat candidates were actually Rethug infilitrators except him of course so it was an easy prediction for him.
I was kinda curious. If Hillary goes on Faux to debate herself (one can only hope) will KKKarl Rove be the moderator?
Well no wonder I never became a talking head, despite my political science and paralegal degrees; I've never been accused of treason.
liberalNmoderation @ 51:
How about when while shaving your crotch hair with a straight razor, you slash your willy. Don't you hate that!
I thought it was all about working as a FOX.
Now we have a PIG working there?
In related news, Dr. Goebbels joins the Volkischer Beobachter TV channel in the alternate universe where the nazis won the war.
Wait...
Actually, not that much of a difference between the german and the american propagandist...
They needed to balance KKKristol's extreme right. In their view, Rove is the just the "centrist" they've been lacking.
His girth will let KKkristol cantilever even furher out. On Jan 20, 2009 Faux will begin it's calls for impeachment.
The Faux graphics department has already submitted mock-ups and storyboard.
ysbaddaden @ 75:
ys.... i... ahh... too much info....
;-)
Oh shit, there goes the eminently "fair and balanced" news coverage.
Lollimom @ 13:
Maybe to share a stall after lunch?
He looks more and more like Ned Beatty in Deliverance every day!
ysbaddaden @ 75:
No razors on my willy, silly.
KKKarl is finally coming out of the closet although we have known all along he is a lying sob...FAUX is where liars reside.
In 'murka, lying pays handsomely.
Mark @ 11:
1/3 of the country that still supports Bush and the GOP to get a brain and think for themselves. In other words. FOX will be around for quite some time to come.
Bush's Anus helped the GOP loose both houses of congress and has Bush's polls steady @ around 29%.
Genius indeed. Maybe Rove was a Democratic mole along?
you got it in reverse, faux is on the PNAC GOP Bush Admin payroll...as their official Ministry of Propaganda...bush doublespeak = Faux Snooze
Fox - Now with more of a kinda shit-stain smell.
Doesn't Karl Rove look like a skidmark queen?
Just what Faux needs: a phallus-headed nazi.
The great and powerful wizard of FOX is no longer behind the curtain operating the flaming smoke and mirror controls.
He only has a few tricks left in his bag till his hot air balloon tales him back to Texas.
Shouldn't Rove be in a cell with Delay and Scooter?
look at them pull out all the stops to derail hillary or obama.
They know they're in dire straits.
Who gives a shit...
CHRIST WHAT'S NEXT HITLER AND STALIN'S DISEMBODIED TALKING HEADS!? WAIT THAT'S TOO OBVIOUS HAR HAR!
abarts @ 92:
They are not in a cell?
You have the title wrong...it should read...
Karl Fox joins Rove News
Think of it more as pre trial surveillance.
Breaking News: Karl Rove has just announced that Jeff Gannon will be his "handler"
on Faux Noise tonight and in the future.
No big shock there
Doggiebobo @ 99:
And further, should Gannon be busy, his "stall stand-in" will be Larry Craig.
Wasn't Karl Rove working for Fox news back in 2000? Or was it the other way around?
Turds usually end up in the sewer.
Anytime the NeoCon's want to shovel shit they just re-name it.
Going to poisen the air we breathe? Call it - 'The Clean Air Act'
Want to destroy the Constitution and spy on the whole Country? Call it the 'Protect America Act'.. and so on.
What will they call Rove's show on Fox? Fair & Balanced...? nope - used that one. (Idiot audience bought it too). 'No spin zone'? Nope, the spin MASTER used that one. How about "The No Traitors Hour"?
This is actually great new for crooksandliars, his comments on faux noise will generate tons of material
Turd blossom on Shitty network.
Dont forget what you heard from the Turd. Should link him up with Hannity... The Asshole and Turd Show. They go together so well.
Why is SCUM like
ROVE
LIBBY
Rumsfailure
Sen Craig
Sen Foley
NOT IN JAIL YET.....????????
2008 hillary obama will
Since they couldn't get Bill, they got Karl instead.
Why can't Rove go and slink away and crawl back under some Texas Rock? I know a few rocks in Palo Duro Canyon that would make a big enough home for him.
As for Fox hiring him, he probably likes the smell-o-vision over there.
Freebies for RoveHos !!!
No better way to celebrate than Send a Rove-o-gram! to O'rally !!
from:
I love Karl Rove. Are you a RoveHo, too?
Too late for Happy RoveHog Day! this year, but perfect timing for a
wonderful Feb 14 Roventines, for that SO special celebration !
Printable, in pdf !!
I thought he left the White House to spend more time with his family. Guess not. His family must love him dearly at this point.
rove would be little more than another run of the mill dirty trickster if he didnt have the uncontested repetition of the talk radio monopoly to spread and establish his talking points, framing, intimidation, and lies.
we need a new Fairness Doctrine so these guys can retire in jail.
Only true believers and masochistic progressives will be watching (or listening) to him.

Jack Abrahmoff or Tom Delay weren't available?

Rove n's Hannity... perfect.
Karl Rove is a traitor scumbag criminal, an accomplice of war crimes, party to crimes against the Constitution, and an all-around douchebag.
If there were any justice, he would be in irons awaiting his miserable end.
If you think about it, divine intervention must be at work. If you assembled the entire Bush administration (past and present), including the the cabinet appointees, there are enough individual pieces of sheep dip to win 'evil fu**er of the decade'. A little quick math confirms they could monopolize that distinction for a couple centuries. They do not get any worse than Rove (allowing for Cheney who is in a very exclusive club - Heinrich Himmler, Pappa Doc, Idi Amin Dada, Atilla the Hun and Vito Genovese). George Steinbrenner must be jealous that Bush could assemble such an all-star cast.
FOX NOISE is perfect for Rove.
Now he won't have an opportunity to taint the minds of THINKING AMERICAN VOTERS.
He can preach to his mentally deficient "choir" as mush as he wants... no skin off my nose.
Cats r Flyfishn @ 16:
larry flynt. how i adore that dirty old fart of a man in the wheelchair who hates the lying scum within the beltway .
everytime i see him on the video i stop, crank up the volume and listen, rapt to see who he's managed to uncover hissing and bubbling into the hot revealing glare of the public's eye.
Did anyone see Fox Noises Chris Wallace on A Daily Show with Jon Stewart? Jon asked Chris how he can resist asking KKKarl "What's it like to Lie?" Oh, KKKarl. If only you would see the light and spill your fat bastard guts--this whole administration would be tried for Treason. Every one of them.
Robert Lockwood Mills @ 112:
KKKarl did. They're all the same under the white sheets...
He's actually probably just volunteering there, doing his "community service" in advance, pending his upcoming conviction...

Just remember that your actions will only count on Judgement Day and He can see what is in your heart and soul. Spin will not work. Just remember George, Dick, and Karl will learn what it is like to Sadaamized because Hussein and his sons are waiting for our "little boys".
A human who does not have soul, does not have an afterlife. No matter how much the evangelical preacher preaches their distorted belief about forgiveness.
To have a soul is to use your conscience about other well being. This repuklean asshat don't have it. that it's pathetic really. Dick knows it, that's why he got to have expensive heart bypass surgery to the expense of most American who can't afford health care. Because inside this walking robot there's no sign of humanity left. I would'nt be surprise if food will not maintain his pitiful existence anymore and he start guzzling iraqi oil mixed with human blood just to keep his pacemaker beating.
These guys will probably force kids to watch Fox in elementary school. We are totally a police state now folks. Mind control works best when you don't have any competion.
shouldn't he be in Jail????????????? wtf
What IS IT with these neo-con fucktards? Are they all pink faced, balding, fat faced, mealy mouthed lookin bastards?
Sarik @ 23:
They're all traitors at FOX. Just addin' one more turd (blossom) to the toilet bowl...
Well, I never! Until this happened, I was under the impression that Fox was a LEGITIMATE NEWS ORGANIZATION that was FAIR AND BALANCED!
Karl WHO?
Man, those eggies stink to high heaven.
As an Australian I humbly apologise for Rupert Murodch and the suffering he has inflicted on your country. Please forgive us. Most Australians are actually really nice.
