Flashback: Rove admitted to keeping ‘a file’ on Bush critic in Congress

Psychologists define projection as a defense mechanism that involves attributing one's own negative qualities or hostile thoughts to other people. It's a concept Karl Rove may be familiar with, if only on a subconscious level.

Rove, who on Sunday accused President Barack Obama of having an "enemies list," admitted three times in a conversation last year to keeping "a file" on a congressman who ostensibly said unflattering things about his former boss, President George W. Bush.

Politico reported in April 2009 that Rove made the admission after being verbally accosted in a Capitol Hill restaurant by an aide to former Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL), who had clashed with Bush. Prior to the scuffle, Rove appeared on Fox News and called out Feeney — who lost his 2008 re-election bid — as allegedly unprepared and hampered by ethical issues.

1. seems like a regular tactic of Republicans ...

accuse your opponent of something ... and when it's revealed that you are doing exactly what you accused your opponent of (or something so close that the "difference" has to be measured at the sub-atomic level), claim that it's a false accusation, trying to deflect attention from the opponent's failings ...

2. Funny that Rove could get someone in trouble for ethical issues.

Edit:
Honestly, that is too good of a thought for rove.
But still love you Karl Rove.

But should play a song for Karl Rove.
