1. Rove?
He started the dirty tricks at an early age.

4. Correct!
http://rightweb.irc-online.org/ind/rove/rove.php
Some observers contend that part of Rove’s success is based on his willingness to fight dirty. This tendency expressed itself early, in 1970, when the then-19-year-old Rove made off with sheets of letterhead from the office of Illinois Democrat Alan Dixon, which he then distributed at a campaign rally with the message “free beer, free food, girls and a good time for nothing” printed on them. Rove reportedly owned up to the stunt many years later, saying: “I was nineteen and I got involved in a political prank, but I’m not sorry.”

------------

Rove started out early with this. One day this guy will get what's coming to him.

5. He'll be leading the perp-walk parade.
It'll be grand! Dozens of orange-garbed neocons, parading down Pennsylvania Avenue, chained together. Instead of tickertape and confetti, there'll be rose petals and candy. The latter, pelted hard at their heads, no doubt.

2. Yeah, sounds like Rove
Edited on Mon Oct-17-05 12:14 PM by sparosnare
He was a teenager when he pretended to volunteer for a Democratic candidate's HQs...he gained access so he could steal stationary. He then sent out 'invitations' to people on the stationary for a party at the HQs promising booze and women. When people showed up and nothing was happening, it damaged the Democrat's campaign.

3. Certainly sounds like "Bush's Brain" - KKKarl Rove.
