And I replied by saying "I don't know if it is true, but it is definitely 
Rovesque."  Is that not answer?

Because "it is definitely Rovesque."

Judging from these...

http://www.evilgopbastards.com/Rove_Playbook.htm

...it's a bunch of sleazy, manipulative tricks that they think Karl Rove 
would recommend.  I'm pretty sure they are not quoting Rove, ever, and 
that is why it is called "Rove's *Secret* Playbook" -- because these are 
what they believe may be his secrets.

The most horrible truth is what happened to Don Siegelman:

Not even prominent Republican state attorneys general will deny it.  That 
Rove was behind it is widely believed but it will be up to the courts to 
prove it.
