Karl Rove, TAXOLIB HOMOCRAT?  http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/09/conservatives-trash-karl-rove-after-he-insists.php

I love the embryonic GOP civil war.

Most TAXOLIB HOMOCRATS do.

What's not to like?

DPD, feel free to ignore this as the following post is a bit wonky, but I wanted to bring everyone's attention to what has been one of my biggest hobby-horses while I've been with the Board.  As Pen has been informed, we often have to take phone calls from citizens who do not know what their rights are under federal labor law.  Since 2000, the current chairman of the NLRB has advocated a regulatory requirement that employers post a notice informing employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act, akin to the minimum wage notice, OSHA poster, etc.  Well, while that process is currently underway, the President has signed an executive order mandating a posting of this type of notice with employers who have contracts or conduct business with the federal government.

Here is the link in case anyone is interested; I think this is an incredible step not in terms of policy, but simply in terms of informing employees and citizens of their rights.

She is what politics produces when you divorce politics from government. She is what you get when you sell to the country that nothing government can do will help, and that the government is an alien thing, and that politics is nothing more than the active public display of impotent grievance.

She is what politics produces when you turn them into a game show and the coverage of them over to a generation of high-technology racetrack touts. She is what you get when political journalism reduces politics to numbers on a scoreboard, divorcing them from the real world consequences of what are increasingly seen as cute little eccentric decisions.

She is what politics produces when we abandon self-government for self-gratification. And that's the real obvious irony in her victory on Tuesday night, and the only thing about it that truly matters. Christine O'Donnell's campaign is a successful exercise in angry, misfit masturbation, with as little to do with the deadly problems this country faces as some guy wanking in the balcony of a grindhouse has to do with Romeo and Juliet.

Sean Hannity must really be a schmuck to have made Karl Rove look reasonable.  

The GOP is going so far off the deep end, it's making the nomination of McGovern in '72 look downright moderate by comparison.

It's true. I think Daniels would help the party return to the outskirts of credibility. But I don't know if he's electable by their standards. I mean, think about it. Has he ever killed anybody? Or even attempted to?

I think you highlighted the wrong paragraph to illustrate that particular asshurtedness. I think the graf you were looking for was this one:

She is what politics produces when you divorce politics from government. She is what you get when you sell to the country that nothing government can do will help, and that the government is an alien thing, and that politics is nothing more than the active public display of impotent grievance.

The paragraph you quoted was bemoaning the way our media ignores substance and policy and reduces their coverage of the governance of our nation to he-said-she-said vapidness and horse race journalism. (Because policy is complicated and it's tough finding people with informed enough understanding of its ins and out to actually talk about its effects, and who really cares about that boring shit anyways?)

The good thing about O'Donnell is that she has brought masturbation out in the open.
