What we want to know is, is it true right-wing Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch is getting Rove’s column in the Wall Street Journal sans pay, as well as his appearances on Fox News? If so, he’s hardly qualified to call himself a professional writer, as he tends to do these days in a way that totally hides his still active clandestine role in manipulating events — through the many government employees hired during the Bush years still on the job.
If Murdoch is actually paying Rove something, perhaps the publisher should start holding him to the same standards other columnists must meet, like accuracy and truthfulness.
I’m convinced Karl Rove spent his entire juvenile years sitting in front of a mirror figuring out how to lie — without sounding like he’s lying — by twisting the meaning of words to the breaking point. He seems completely unable to utter one sentence that does not contain some kind of a twist on the facts.
Next time he faces Congress, this time in a public televised hearing, would somebody please ask him a simple question to see if he can manage it? I don’t care what it is, maybe: “What color is your shirt today?”
See if he can do it? I suspect he can’t. He would say something like:
“Well, it could be white, but it might be ivory or pearl, or…”

Delusions run deep for many people, certainly for politicians, and even more so for that particular brand of politician known as a political operative.
Rove’s fundamental delusion is that having external power over others, as opposed to self-mastery, is a priority goal for life achievement.
That simple delusion leads to all the twisting, lying and deception we’ve seen from Mr. Rove and, for that matter, most politicians, political operatives and their allies and minions.
