Rove's Gotcha

OMFG!

“In case anyone was still wondering whether John McCain is running the sleaziest, most dishonest campaign in history, today Karl Rove — the man who held the previous record — said McCain’s ads have gone too far.”

Rove: “Of course, they fail to say anything about the fact I said they were even more misleading.”

Karl Rove answered a Chris Wallace question (okay, you've been specific about some of  the lies in  Obama's  ads, so to be fair what about McCain?) with a non-specific "well some of his don't pass the 100% truth test."  You can read the relevant  transcript at Politico.  Obamanites, desperate to stop their campaign's  arterial bleeding, saw a "Gotcha" moment, and the e-mails (and text messages, of course) were flying withing minutes.   Rove countered  "Of course, they fail to say anything about the fact I said they were even more misleading," but when you're dealing with that mentality, who cares about the details?  Katie Couric needs sound bites baby! However.  Who do they hope to persuade with this?  If you're among the "undecided" at this point, you're hardly going to know who Karl Rove is.  Hell, you can't name your own congressperson. Complaining that the other guy is running a "dirty campaign," is so trite an election season charge that nobody, save the loons, will pay attention. It's one of those Obama kerfluffle in a teacup things.
