New York Times: Karl Rove Taking Over To Contain Storm Political Damage
Just as some have predicted, the New York Times reports that White House political guru Karl Rove is now taking over to orchestrate
White House response to Hurricane Katrina, offset the political damage — and go on the offensive.

This means Americans will start seeing and hearing the new line in images, comments from leading GOPers and, most prominently,
in arguments made by lock-step GOP establishment radio and cable talk show hosts. It's worth looking at this Times piece in some
detail so outraged independents,
Democrats and non-lockstep Repubublicans know what to expect:

3. I'd love to follow the memo trail
to see just how the orders are set out and document who starts talking the talk when and where. Shouldn't we have a database: known and suspected agents of the darkside? Isn't it time?

4. Karl Rove should be rotting in prison...
Still- Democrats need to make certain the ReTHUGS don't get away with anything on Rove's list of "things to do"..

6. There's one minor problem this time. They don't have all the media
in their pocket as they have in the past. Their own allies aren't buying it. This time it's a much tougher sell.

11. Karl Rove = The Mouth of Sauron
The Corporate Robber Barons must be pissing in the pants at Bush's sinking poll numbers and the louder cries for Impeachment of their handy man.

12. This is nothing new. The story is dated Sept. 5, 2005.
KKKarl and Bartlett started this last week and it still hasn't changed anyone's mind about Chimpy's reaction to what happened in New Orleans two weeks ago.
