[Rove reacts to Obama presidency & GOP in shambles](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8rp9Rr2_Iw&feature=related) (2008 edition) [youtube] 2008 Rove actually seems fairly reasonable. Too bad he never followed his own advice. ---

This tread also needs a link to the Young Turks take on the Right wing pollsters like Dick Morris: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/YNW5gnD5kVg/hqdefault.jpg "Wrong! Dick Morris 'Landslide' Prediction, Weak Explanation") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNW5gnD5kVg) “Wrong again Dick!” “Not partisan”? “We do this for a living” and “we are right on predicting a Romney Victory”? If guys like Rove of Dick Morris continue to do this for a living then \*\*they \*\*are the the con men that are robbing the rich right wingers. Keep up the good work Dick! 😛 ---

> [@YogSosoth](#): > > In the lower left and upper right of the “God Bless America” poster…are those ghosts? They are people celebrating. Or firecrackers. Or, as my daughter insists, just splashes of red she wanted to put in the corner, does everyone have to ask me about them, just leave me alone! 😉 And, yes, my side (congrats) is as childish as my daughter’s (GBA). This, uh, was purely by design. Yes - that’s it! Purely by design. 😃 ---
