Goodbye, Mr. Rove.

[Downtown Hound]

91. In 2008, I felt like I got revenge for the 2000 theft

And last night, I felt like I got it for 2004. And the weird thing is, last night felt more sweet. I remember going through the hell that was 2004 here on DU, a relative newbie at the time, and I remember how all of us got so excited when the exit polls were released, only to see our hope turn to bewilderment, disbelief, and finally despair and rage as the day wore on. That was seriously one of the darkest nights of my life, because it really looked like our country was on a permanent road to a fascist theocracy.

Last night, I imagine quite a few righties got to know the pain many of us felt in 2004. It almost makes me pity them a little. And I stress the word ALMOST.

Great OP. And I agree, Karl Rove will probably rear his porkish head here and there from time to time in the future, but for the most part he's done. He will never be perceived as the golden whiz kid that knows every trick in the book. His tricks have been exposed, and firmly rejected by America. He's more of a hindrance to the GOP at this point, because he will always have the ball and chain known as Dubya shackled to his ankle.
