Hopkins lived in the White House for years, came to FDR's attention after turning the WPA-type organizations he ran into political machines by firing everyone who didn't vote right and using everyone else as election campaigners, and to top it off turns out to have been a Soviet spy!

Anonymous Unregistered	Quote: Because Rove, like so many of the other right-wingers, (O'Reilly, etc.) are complete & utter slimebag asswipes. Never denied that for a minute. But that doesn't mean that the other side thereby possesses any great virtue. In fact, MSNBC President Phil Griffin was so embarrassed by the blatantly partisan behavior of Olbermann, Matthews and others that *he demoted them from their anchor positions during election coverage: MSNBC tried (an experiment) this year by putting two politically incendiary hosts, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, in the anchor chair to lead the cable news channel’s coverage of the election. That experiment appears to be over. After months of accusations of political bias and simmering animosity between MSNBC and its parent network NBC, the channel decided over the weekend that the NBC News correspondent and MSNBC host David Gregory would anchor news coverage of the coming debates and election night. Mr. Olbermann and Mr. Matthews will remain as analysts during the coverage. The change — which comes in the home stretch of the long election cycle — is a direct result of tensions associated with the channel’s perceived shift to the political left. “The most disappointing shift is to see the partisan attitude move from prime time into what’s supposed to be straight news programming,” said Davidson Goldin, formerly the editorial director of MSNBC and a co-founder of the reputation management firm DolceGoldin… In interviews, 10 current and former staff members said that long-simmering tensions between MSNBC and NBC reached a boiling point during the conventions. “MSNBC is behaving like a heroin addict,” one senior staff member observed. “They’re living from fix to fix and swearing they’ll go into rehab the next week...”* In January, Mr. Olbermann and Mr. Matthews, the host of “Hardball,” began co-anchoring primary night coverage, drawing an audience that enjoyed the pair’s “SportsCenter”-style show. While some critics argued that the assignment was akin to having the Fox News commentator Bill O’Reilly anchor on election night — something that has never happened — MSNBC insisted that Mr. Olbermann knew the difference between news and commentary. But in the past two weeks, that line has been blurred. On the final night of the Republican convention, after MSNBC televised the party’s video “tribute to the victims of 9/11,” including graphic footage of the World Trade Center attacks, Mr. Olbermann abruptly took off his journalistic hat. “I’m sorry, it’s necessary to say this,” he began. After saying that the video had exploited the memories of the dead, he directly apologized to viewers who were offended. Then, sounding like a network executive, he said it was “probably not appropriate to be shown…” Tom Brokaw and Brian Williams, the past and present anchors of “NBC Nightly News,” have told friends and colleagues that they are finding it tougher and tougher to defend the cable arm of the news division, even while they anchored daytime hours of convention coverage on MSNBC and contributed commentary each evening… NBC Universal executives are also known to be concerned about the perception that MSNBC’s partisan tilt in prime time is bleeding into the rest of the programming day. On a recent Friday afternoon, a graphic labeled “Breaking News” asked: “How many houses does Palin add to the Republican ticket?” Mr. Griffin called the graphic “an embarrassment.” Insidious Rovian Spin Machine

Obama has David Axelrod. Hillary had Bill (and Mark Penn and others). Every president has a Rove-type figure lurking about. The only unusual thing about Rove is that his name is in the press a lot. If anything I would say that Axelrod has changed the way campaigns are run, not Rove. Hillary ran a standard primary campaign aimed at setting the stage for the general election, and Axelrod showed how to attack it using party rules instead of just winning votes. _________________________ "If they can't picture me with a knife, forcing them to strip in an alley, I don't want any part of it.

I've also made it clear that I think Palin's religious beliefs are off the wall. But, again, at least she sticks to those beliefs, no matter how unpopular (or, IMO, how wrong) they are. Obama, OTOH, threw his pastor and friend of twenty years under the bus because it was politically expedient. Is that what you want in the White House? Quote: I share no beliefs with Jeremiah Wright. He's just another religious jackass... ...Whom Obama followed for twenty years. Do you really think the guy suddenly had a change of heart after all that time, and no longer believes the hate Wright preaches? I don't like either candidate and I think my views on religion are pretty well known by now. But the inherent hypocrisy of the Obama camp in blasting the other side for the same faults they have deserves to be lampooned. Especially when he's running as the candidate of some mysterious, undefined "change."
