Nice Little Concise Backgrounder Of Rove !!!

[WillyT]

<snip>

Karl Rove is the political advisor to the Bush administration who has been called at various turns “the Architect,” “Superman” and “the Boy Genius.” He’s scrambling these days to vindicate himself of any wrongdoing in the Valerie Plame affair. Smart money says he’ll walk away from this with nary a scratch on his figurative political hide, mainly because Rove is slicker than a greased weasel and harder to pin down than a debutante during her coming out ball.

Allegations of unscrupulous behavior have followed Rove in a particularly distasteful wake since 1970, when at 19 he lifted a stack of letterhead stationary from the Chicago campaign headquarters of Alan Dixon, a Democrat running for Illinois state treasurer. The pages resurfaced in the city’s red light district bearing invitations to Dixon’s offices for “free beer, free food, girls and a good time for nothing.”

Rove got pinched for this one only because he admitted his role in what he later called “a political prank.”

Rove was also accused of dirty tricks when he took over the College Republicans in the Nixon era, an accusation that resulted in an investigation by the chairman of the Republican National Committee who subsequently cleared Rove of all charges and then promptly hired him. That man was George HW Bush, who later fired him during his second presidential campaign because he suspected that he had leaked information to a newspaper columnist named Robert Novak.

Any of this sound familiar?
