Don't let the door hit you on the way out:
You remember Karl Rove: He’s the Republican strategist and Fox News contributor who made television history last month when he refused to accept that President Obama had won the state of Ohio and effectively clinched the entire election, leading to a showdown between Megyn Kelly and the behind-the-scenes statisticians on the network’s “Decision Desk.”
If a report out Wednesday from Gabriel Sherman at New York magazine is to be believed, Fox News is now trying to distance itself from Rove’s election-night shenanigans by strictly limiting his on-air appearances. Joining him on the bench will be Dick Morris, whose confident prediction of an electoral landslide for Romney became a punch line after the election and, to Fox News’ critics, epitomized the network’s skewed perspective.
Karl Rove is not a conservative. He was just a "Republican consultant," which means he was interested only in winning elections. Karl Rove is "compassionate conservatism," one of the most twisted (or emptiest, take your pick) concepts since revenue sharing. Dick Morris is no deep thinker, either. He was Bill Clinton's Karl Rove. You want to understand today's political pathologies, I give you Karl Rove and Dick Morris. Wave goodbye, boys.
