Karl Rove Resigning Aug 31
tetrahedrassface writes "According to CNN current Bush Administration political advisor Karl Rove will be resigning his post as senior political advisor at the end of August to spend more time with his family. Few if any prior senior political advisors to presidents have been the lightning rods for controversy that Mr. Rove has. Accused of running smear campaigns and celebrated for pioneering district level up campaigns that rely heavily on databases and fake grassroots origins, Mr Rove is one of the chief architects of the Republican Revolution."
Is that false advertisement now? /., a.k.a. neo-digg with articles like this.

Editors, what is your job, exactly? Moderators can only moderate what's posted - you're supposed to vet the fucking stories for accuracy and relevance.

But, as someone else stated once, Slashdot is the place where I come for tech related news, if I wanted politics news I would go to BBC/politics, if I wanted entertainment news I would go to eonline or yahoo enterntainment...
And as the sibling poster said, I am not in the USA, and I might not give a shit of what happens there (I do, because I understand the implications of the USA actions)...
Whether you care about politics or not, it is "stuff that matters."
The thing is that, it is stuff that does not matter *to me*...
Of course, as another poster said once, this is mr. Malda site, and he can post whatever he wants... but of course we can also rant as much as we like =o)

Clinton was just doing what any decent man should in position. And I'm sorry, but Lewinsky had easily exploitable chick written all over her. In permanent marker. Clinton's only real crime was friggin nasty ass Paula Jones. But, that was how Clinton got down. That's between him, his penis, maybe his God and perhaps the robot who is his wife.
I scream. You scream. I assume that means we're both acquainted with the problem. We proceed.
Oh, and as for Powell wanting his family to have a "quiet life", that doesn't come with the territory they've staked out for themselves in politics.
His son, Michael Powell spent Bush's first term hooking up media cartels with as much ownership as they wanted, among many other corporate handouts at the expense of the American people, while running the FCC. He scored that gig because he was such a helpful part of Bush's transition team for his 2000 inauguration.

This is the problem with your statement:
That Democrats want to win election is not a hypothetical. It's the truth. I'm not sure why you are claiming that Democrats wanting to win and extend their power as a result of elections is false.
Republicans want to create conditions favorable to getting Republicans elected in the future. If Democrats don't want the same thing, then they are just bad politicians.

Don't leave your mind so open that your brain falls out. Don't close it so much that you cut off the blood.
I have the same barber as Karl Rove--a nice gay black dude. He goes to a Dupont Circle hair salon, and as you may well know, Dupont Circle is the historic gay district of Washington, DC. Could be a coincidence.
