      This is not shocking really. Since the George W. Bush Presidential library has an entire staff dedicated to re-writing the history of what happened during his 2 terms to try and make it look better than it really was. Rove, is really no different.

      The man has been lying his whole entire political career. Why stop now? He's been pulling cheap tricks and pranks since he got into the political game in college, and he continues to this day. I would hazard to guess that O'Keefe probably looks to Rove as some sort of mentor.

        I heard that the books, statues and artwork in dubya's "library" have tried to leave. Laura had to talk them out of it.

          Hmm. How ironic. She had to talk George INTO his first library. Of course, he threw a fit when he found out there wasn't any ice cream, like she promised...

      Regardless of Rove's revisionist history, I am soooo thankful that we are finally rid of George W. Bush.

      He isn't rewriting history, he is ignoring history and ``commenting'' on his perverse view of what really happened.

        Rove would just answer that with: "Faulty intelligence."

        You see, in the Bush White House, the buck didn't stop at the president's desk. It stopped over at Langley.

          And back then, it was OK to call the CIA liars, but if a democrat does it. Good lord, she should resign immediately.

        Karl,
        I still wish to know what happened to the Foreign currency worth nearly $200m that was found in a Baghdad neighbourhood, on Wednesday, 30 April, 2003.

      This is what you get when you let murderous liars off the hook. Rove, Bush and his administration should have been put on trial for infiltrating the government and war crimes.
      By allowing Rove to avoid any responsibility or punishment for his diabolical scheme authorities have effectively created a MONSTER. Rove believes he is invincible and his arrogance is on full display.
      Rove and Bush have lied through-out both terms in office, he (Rove) see no reason to change, considering his new mission now is to rewrite history.

      There they go again. That silly Main-stream media spewing out it's "conservative misinformation" 24-7. Wait a minute. Isn't this liberal misinformation? And, it's during MSNBC's morning broadcast which is supposed to be dedicated to "real news" and not the biased stuff they broadcast during prime time. This is such blatantly biased reporting from MSNBC on the book from the only person they hate more than George Bush. Besides maybe Sarah Palin.

      Getting Wolfe to report on a book by Rove is like getting Olbermann to report on a book by O'Reilly.

        Actually, it's not "biased reporting." Government reports [Inspector General of the Pentagon's report, for one] disprove the majority of Rove's lies contained in the book. Reporting fact is not "biased," sorry. Also, the fact that the actual government reports disprove the majority of Rove's lies contained in the book is NEWS, not opinion. You really need to learn the difference.

        Rove is a pathological liar . . . he always has been [I've been watching this jerk for YEARS before most folks had even heard of him]. His political affiliation is irrelevant. He is what he is.

        You must mean getting the truth out about lies told upon lies sworn to by liers.
