	Karl Rove - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rove told the Dallas Morning News in 1999, "It was a youthful prank at the age of 19 and I regret it." (The Washington Post, 7/23/99).
		Rove was deputy director of the Governor William P. Clements Junior Committee, 1979—1980; and deputy executive assistant Governor of Texas (roughly, deputy chief of staff) in 1980—1981.
		After Rove's appointment, the administration was criticized for attempting to shift blame away from the federal government for the failures by claiming that state and local officials had not declared a state of emergency at the time [47].

	Plame affair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A July 11, 2003 email from Cooper to his bureau chief indicated that Rove had told Cooper that it was Wilson's wife who authorized her husband's trip to Niger, mentioning that she "apparently" worked at "the agency" on weapons of mass destruction issues.
		According to Robert Luskin, Rove's attorney, Rove has stated that he had not seen the memo until it was given to him by prosecutors investigating the leak, and that he learned of Plame from Novak.
		Rove was vociferously defended by Republican Party Chairman Ken Mehlman and by many conservative news outlets and commentators, some of whom followed cues laid out in a "talking points" memo, circulated among Republicans on Capitol Hill, which questioned Joseph Wilson's credibility.

	VDARE.com: 05/04/03 - Karl Rove: Time For A Career Change?
		For example, Rove probably cost Bush the popular vote victory in the 2000 election by not demanding that his candidate reveal early on in the campaign that he was arrested in 1976 for drunk driving.
		Rove's ascent benefited from a hole opened up in the top ranks of Republican Party campaign management by the tragic death at age 40 of his mentor Atwater, a legendary wild man who seems far more deserving of the "genius" title.
		Rove did manage quite a few Republicans to victory in Texas, but he was definitely being helped along by the political and demographic winds in the Lone Star State.

		Karl Rove is sometimes described as "Bush's Brain" meaning that he supplies the strategies and tactics by which George W. Bush has risen from unsuccessful businessman to President.
		But Rove is a major player, and his strategies play on what is worst in the American psyche for their success.
		Rove reportedly told journalist Chris Matthews, and maybe others, that Wilson's wife and her undercover status were "fair game." Newsweek's account has not been denied by Rove or the White House.

	Guardian Unlimited \| US elections 2004 \| Who is Karl Rove?
		Rove's office is tight-lipped about the extent of his duties, but the few un-vetted memoirs to have escaped from this highly disciplined administration have all portrayed him as the single most powerful figure in it, with the (possible) exceptions of the president and vice-president.
		Rove's task now is to consolidate that dominance of the White House and Capitol Hill and then use it to recast the Washington's third source of power, the supreme court, from its current cautious conservatism to a more red-blooded Republicanism.
		Rove allegedly told the journalists that Plame was "fair game" because her husband had gone public with his criticism.

	New Yorker Profile: Karl Rove by Nicholas Lemann
		Rove, who is fifty-two, has always appeared to be affable and extroverted he has a foghorn voice and an innocent face, with pale-blue eyes, a tuft of flyaway blond hair, and light skin that flushes when he's angry-while, at the same time, being very hard to know well.
		Rove spoke of his adoptive father in a tone of fierce admiration, love, and loyalty, for, as he put it, "how selfless his love had been," as shown by his willingness to play, persuasively, the part of a blood parent for two decades.
		Rove's attentiveness to emerging voter blocs caused a minor embarrassment not long ago, when it turned out that Samial-Arian, a Kuwaiti living in Florida who was recently indicted for terrorist activities, had been to the White House as part of a Muslim group and met with him.

		Rove also is in charge of intergovernmental affairs, political affairs and strategic initiatives.
		Rove said the Sept. 11 attacks proved that officials should "be contesting, not simply supinely receiving, information from security analysts." He suggested that other critics are motivated by politics.

	Rove's Brain and Media Manipulation
		Rove is more than a master manipulator of the news media.
		For all his deft skullduggery, Rove is smart enough to always remember that you can't beat something with nothing.
		The evidence is strong that Rove bugged his own office at a key moment in the 1986 gubernatorial campaign and then spun the Texas media to point the finger at Gov. White.

	The Truth is Puttin’ on its Shoes: An Inquiry Into the "Innocent" Mr. Rove - A BuzzFlash Guest Commentary
		To believe that Karl Rove had no knowledge of this leak, or that he was not involved, it is necessary to ignore his absolute control of all things political in the White House, his Machiavellian nature, and attention to every sparrow flying under the Bush sun.
		Rove told the campaign reporters that they were "making too much of a few missed meetings." In 48 hours, the exact language was used on network television by Novak, who described the controversy of Mr.
		Anyone who has watched Rove’s rise in presidential politics, and has reported on his machinations, is not surprised to learn that Ambassador Wilson suspects Rove as being the source of the leak, or, as a minimum, a senior administration official who condoned the leak.

	Bush's Hit Man
		Rove was angry over a story Slater had written suggesting that it was plausible that Rove was behind the whispering campaign that warned that Senator John McCain--then soaring in the GOP presidential primary polls--might any day unravel because he had been under so much pressure when he was tortured as a POW in Vietnam.
		Rove was explicitly linked by testimony and press reports to all but the gay and lesbian story; the college incident had been so widely reported for fifteen years that it was essentially part of the common domain.
		Rove has said that while going to college, he was never inclined to identify with the antiwar movement and supported the troops because "it was hard to sympathize with all those Commies." The "die-hard Nixonite" remains deeply resentful of the legacy of the counterculture of the sixties.

		Rove is considered by both Democrats and Republicans to have one of the country's sharpest and most instinctive political minds.
		Rove, 48, never graduated from college, leaving the University of Utah in 1971 to become executive director of the College Republicans.

		The omission by Rove created doubt for federal investigators, almost from the inception of their criminal probe into who leaked Plame's name to columnist Robert Novak, as to whether Rove was withholding crucial information from them, and perhaps even misleading or lying to them, the sources said.
		Also leading to the early skepticism of Rove's accounts was the claim that although he first heard that Plame worked for the CIA from a journalist, he said could not recall the name of the journalist.
		Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin, has said that Rove never knew that Plame was a covert officer when he discussed her CIA employment with reporters, and that he only first learned of her clandestine status when he read about it in the newspaper.

		Rove told a gathering at the Conservative Political Action Conference that Bush is committed to the members' ideas of fostering morality and values, including protecting the culture of life for every human person — a goal that generated applause from the crowd at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center.
		Rove was introduced by Wayne LaPierre, chief executive of the National Rifle Association, who said Rove — recently given the extra title of deputy chief of staff — was a fan of a former President William McKinley's political guru.
		Rove said he wasn't a fan of his McKinley counterpart, but of McKinley himself because he was in charge.

	Turd Blossom Must Go - There is no moral case for keeping Karl Rove on the government payroll. By Timothy Noah
		Rove did not mention Plame by name, but that hardly matters (except possibly in a narrow legalistic sense, and I have serious doubts even about that).
		Inside the Bush administration, lying to reporters doesn't even come close to being a firing offense, so neither Rove nor Scott McClellan, who first called the accusation that Rove exposed Plame "totally ridiculous" and then flat-out said "it is simply not true," need fear for his job on that score.
		Nothing is revealed to indicate that Rove knew of the ambassador's wife covert status or even her name.

		Viewed in the best light, Rove was engaged in leaking information about national security for the political purpose of making the president's sales pitch for the Iraqi invasion appear to have been honest.
		Rove offered the media information about Valerie Plame's role at the CIA after her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, criticized the administration's attempts to connect Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction.
		And Rove's conduct met the standard for removal from his post that the president laid down in 2004 when he promised to fire anyone involved in the leak.

		Top Bush advisors Rove and Clay Johnson were the main 'anonymous' sources from whom Hatfield received his information on the controversial 1972 cocaine arrest.
		Rove and Johnson were acquainted with Hatfield's former employers in Dallas, and were aware of Hatfield's sensational 1988 felony conviction for solicitation of capital murder.
		Rove was traveling and could not be reached." Keep in mind that one reason most critics found Hatfield's book bogus as originally published was that he refused to name his sources for the Bush drug bust story.

		And Rove was risking the identity of, in attempting to discredit, a WMD proliferation expert, Valerie Plame Wilson.
		Rove had no idea what the specific consequences of giving a reporter the name of a CIA agent (about whom he says he knew nothing) would be--he only knew that he wanted to discredit her (incorrectly) for dispatching her husband to determine if the rumors about Niger uranium were true or false.
		There are stories circulating that Rove may have been told of Valerie Plame's CIA activity by a journalist, such as Judith Miller, as recently suggested in Editor and Publisher.

		WASHINGTON - The White House is defending presidential adviser Karl Rove against Democratic demands that he apologize or quit for implying that liberals are soft on the Sept. 11 attackers and other terrorists.
		Congressional Republicans joined the White House in standing solidly behind Rove, saying he shouldn’t apologize and that he was outlining a philosophical divide between a president who sought to win the war on terrorism by taking the fight to the enemy and Democrats who questioned that approach.
		Democrats said Rove, and his Republican allies, were now trying to change the subject when Democrats, and many Americans, are becoming increasingly critical of the course of the war in Iraq.
