Rove Gone, 1

From Taylor Marsh--No More Mr. Rove: "..I see a video in my mind when I think of Rove. From his friends in Texas, to his wingnut radio pals and beyond, Rove revving up the machine to do one deed he'll be remembered above all: the swiftboating of a Democratic veteran in a hot presidential race, making sure not even a military man would succeed against The Boss. Sure, the candidate was sometimes his own worst enemy, but that was his problem. Rove intended to take away the heroism, the medals, the myth of the man, whatever it took, even presenting a little Osama - 9/11 mixture right before the vote to nail the election lid on. South Carolina, the sequel, that's Rove's greatest achievement, from McCain to Kerry, two vets down, The Boss stays in the saddle. It also revealed what Republicans really think of veterans, especially those who don't follow the right talking points. Not even a war hero is off limits to Rove and the Bush machine.

Never forget..."
