1. Why Karl Rove Campaigns for... Howard Dean We were fortunate enough to spend Independence Day in the nation's capital, where stranger things than usual were going on. Upon leaving the White House we saw a left-wing activist having a psychotic meltdown and screaming at wary Secret Service agents (no, it wasn't Dennis Kucinich). And then there was Karl Rove campaigning for, of all people, Howard Dean. Alas, we didn't spot the latter sight ourselves, but we read about in the Washington Post. Yes, we kid you not; President Bush's chief political adviser was rallying for the leftist former governor of Vermont. As a dozen backers of Dean marched in the 37th annual Palisades Citizens' Association parade, the Post reported, Rove told a companion (GOP state Sen. Teel Bivins of Texas, according to the Dallas Morning News): "Heh, heh, heh. Yeah, that's the one we want. How come no one is cheering for Dean?" Then Rove urged the marchers and onlookers: "Come on, everybody! Go, Howard Dean!" Rove told the Morning News: "The Dean contingent had a nifty little chant that ended up something like, 'We want Howard Dean.' Teel and I agreed that we could, with a straight face, agree with that. I was doing it with a sense of irony." Ironical or not, why is the top Bushie supporting Dean? Even the Post knew the answer to that one: He "apparently thinks his man can beat" this wannabe. Some appeasement activists are in a stew over Rove's backhanded endorsement. The Web site antiwar.com, furious at Dean's support for Israel and for U.S. intervention in Liberia, fumed on Friday: "And why shouldn't Rove cheer for Dean? The man is to the Democratic field what International ANSWER was to the Iraqi war opposition. An unknown quantity, about whom too little will be known until too late. Luckily for the Dems, though, Hillary waits in the wings." Umm, do the appeasement activists forget that St. Hillary voted with the Senate majority in favor of Operation Iraqi Freedom? Never mind; we'll let the Democrats settle this catfight themselves. Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2003 14:01:45 -0700 Subject: Karl Rove Campaigns for...
