I've never seen the msm refer to any liberal Democrat as "divisive" or "polarizing".  These are terms reserved virtually exclusively to describe conservatives, at least in the political realm.  Liberals are uniters, just as long as everyone agrees with them. 

It is also interesting how the msm has, almost universally, cast Kark Rove as being some kind of underhanded Wizard of Oz.  Try to think of the last time a Democrat, any Democrat, was characterized in this fashion.  Don't hold your breath while doing so.

Rove was the master at "winning" elections with 50%+1 of the electorate. That's no way to unite a country. Even in non-democratic countries you need a much high percentage of your population on board with policy to win wars. Too bad this administration still hasn't figured that out at this late date.

I never really trusted Rove any more than I did [former White House chief of staff] Andy Card (who is a friend and confidante to the Kennedy Klan).

Always thought the media used Rove to explain how Bush could be so stupid (a la Reagan, Ford, et al.) and still walk and talk. So the media made Rove into a superman. Yeah, right. Only a dumbo-Demo would believe that (which includes most media elite, of course).
