Karl Rove: McCain’s VP pick is purely political, puts country second
Well, by the transitive property, anyway. Before Obama announced Biden was his choice for VP, one of the names kicked around was Governor Tim Caine of Virginia (who, before that, was mayor of Richmond). And of that possibility, Rove said this:
With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he’s been a governor for three years, he’s been able but undistinguished. I don’t think people could really name a big, important thing that he’s done. He was mayor of the 105th largest city in America. And again, with all due respect to Richmond, Virginia, it’s smaller than Chula Vista, California; Aurora, Colorado; Mesa or Gilbert, Arizona; north Las Vegas or Henderson, Nevada. It’s not a big town. So if he were to pick Governor Kaine, it would be an intensely political choice where he said, `You know what? I’m really not, first and foremost, concerned with, is this person capable of being president of the United States?
Replace some names and a few pronouns and he’s talking about Palin, isn’t he? Holy crap I hope someone finds a public way of using this.

Sadly this may work aswell. I just hope people remember that it’s more important to retain certain women’s rights than to “progress” by having a woman as V.P. On an almost side note, it’s kinda sad that women are still fighting to preserve our rights to a point where we can’t move forward.

The Daily Show played the clips of Rove talking about Palin, then the one of him talking about Kaine (along with other clips including one of Palin herself from March) on tonight’s (well, last night’s at this point: the one aired 09/03/08) episode ( http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=184086&title=sarah-palin-gender-card ).

Completely off the topic, but worth mentioning, I stumbled upon a web site with quite a familiar look to it:

Nah, this is a stock template that came with the WP install.

Perhaps this could be used as motivation to revive the old format?

Speaking as a person who actually LIVES in Virginia, I have been planning to marinate Karl Rove and set him on fire for a significant time now.
