Holy evil one, the future is going to be exciting. Next year there will be a movie called Moonbat Meets Evil. Comedy of the year!
Newsweek is going to … get this… LOSE SUBSCRIBERS!!! according to the comments on the article.
You mean they had some left?
This is gonna be like Kissinger v. Streisand 😉
I was trying to think of a way to describe the debates to ensue but Vitruvius nailed it. Or how about David Frum v. Sean Penn, or Col. Hogan vs Sgt Shultz.

Their first choice was Mussolini.
Um, now, now, Hogan v. Klink. Shultz was actually just a really nice guy. In one episode he and Hogan were under attack and they thought they were gonna die, and in response to Hogan’s question about “before the war”, Shultz related that he ran a small company that made stamped metal toy trucks and things like that for little boys, and he cried.
Beofre settling on those two, they looked for candidates at every insane asylum across the nation. Unfortunately, no one was crazy enough to work for newsweek.

I thought they were all ‘left’
just my thinkin’
JinC
…..Says Newsweek Editor Jon Meacham. “Our readers are sophisticated enough to know that what they get from Karl has to be judged in the context of who Karl is…Readers will have to decide if he’s simply an apologist.”
Oh the IRONY!
Outside of hapless and bored visitors to the doctors office who see the mag as nothing more than an escape from the tedium or anxiety of the waiting room …. I suspect that pretty much Everyone who reads Newsweek made up their mind about Karl Rove several years ago… or rather had it made up for them by publications like Newsweek!
Best laugh I’ve had since Dion’s threepeat question in the commons!
Translation of Meacheam’s apologetics:
“We are not responsible for Rove’s POV, and we really would rather interpret it so that we can tell the ‘sophisticated’ readers what to think.”
Somebody, somewhere is some corner office at Newsweak has been watching his stock options shrivel like a California Rasin. The excruciating pain emanating from his wallet area has stimulated all manner of long disused synaptic pathways and caused a neuron to grow on top of his liberal brain stem.
Using this one, tiny, single gray cell that all his colleagues lack, he figured out how to save his magazine. Hire a famous conservative to rebut and kick butt amongst the host of liberal hacks that make up Newsweak. People might actually pay money to see Karl Rove kick Markos Moulitsas’s fundament on a weekly basis.
Pain is truly the best teacher. It can make even an MSM executive see the obvious.
Maybe they’ll gain subscribers!!!! Ya right!!!! I’ll get all the info from Hot Air, or some other ‘conservative’ blog!!!! Can’t wait for what Rove has to say…..
I don’t even know what this means.
The true irony is that 95% of their readership is going to say “Markos who”?
John – Google “Rove, you magnificent bastard”. Generally used when there’s evidence that the Great One has hatched another successful plot on behalf of the VRWC…
I know who the two players are, but I don’t know what this means to Newsweek or why they are doing this or why Carl Rove needs this gig or why the ultra left commie hater of freedom and just about everything else Markos is getting a gig at all.
What does it mean?
THAT.
IS.
AWESOME.
MT
John…I have no idea what it means. All I know is I went online to Spewweek and couldn’t find a word about it,until I checked the comics section!
So why is NEWSREEK trying to hire a conservative anyway their already 99% liberal and 10% truth
Film geeks will recognize the pop culture reference.
The title is a variation of a line spoken by George C Scott in the movie Patton (1970):
“Rommel… you magnificent bastard, *I read your book*!”
“What was really amazing was the speed with which the Americans adapted themselves. They were assisted in this by their tremendous practical and material sense and by their lack of all understanding for tradition and useless theories.”
— Erwin Rommel
Karl Rove is a flaaaaaaaaaaaming homosexual and a socialist. Hate to break it to the no gaydar / can’t read a financial statement crowd, but it’s true. If he represents the “right” counterpoint in America, then just add the hammer and sicle to the American flag and get it over with.
I think Newsweek’s “message” here is that Markos Moulitsas is of the same caliber as Carl Rove is.
it is kind of like putting Britney Spears and Renée Fleming in the same category.
or like giving a Nobel prize to a liar who made a slide show full of lies about global warming.
if you ask me, I think the shameless left is a bit desperate…

Andy,
Perhaps too much caffeine before 8 in the morning? A *troll* works better if it is a little less energized. Not so blatant. A bit more subtle.
You lefty types would be a bit better off if you would simply learn to unzip your fly before you attempt to pee on somebody.
“…unzip your fly before you attempt to pee on somebody.” Now that’s funny.
Andrew, please stop being on my side. Really.
What does it mean?
That the Greek gets greek?
Now Kos may have to clean up the Kos website if Newsweek readers start glancing at his site. 18-year-old anarchists may have to go to another site to spew their venom. LOL.
