stevo, Bob Williams, author of your second article, is a conservative commentator for a newspaper known for its partisan bias and unflinching support for Bush. This is a link to comments from readers about William's article. The article and the responses all seem like Rove's talking points choir:http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/...e_id=110007219

Your first article, is written by Jeff Johnson. The results of this google search indicate that he is more of a partisan hack than an MSM news reporter....

Your citations back the reporting of the NY Times that Rove is overseeing a thoroughly orchestrated attack on local N.O. officials. Williams and Johnson seem always ready to write on any Rove attack theme.

I posted an article by news reporters ADAM NAGOURNEY and Anne E. Kornblutt of the NY Times. They may be too partisan for your liking, but they are professionals who work for the newspaper of record in the U.S., not known for blatant bias that WSJ is famous for.

this is a politics thread. If what Nagourney and Kornblutt report is true, the main white house effort is cynical, self serving, malicious, and lacking any of the compassion which Bush attempts to project to all of us. Rove is at work, it needs to be pointed out now, while we can observe the execution of the smear "OP" in progress. Watch the "Plaming" of Louisiana's political leaders, we have a branch of it in the creation of this thread and in some of the poster's Rovesque comments.
