Karl Rove given credit for turning entire Alabama court system Republican.
Our small town weekly newspaper has printed a right wing political columnist who is bragging that Alabama

"brought in a professional political gunslinger named Karl Rove from Texas"
to unite Alabama Big Business interests into defeating all Democratic court members in the state.
( the lone Democrat judge, Sue Bell Cobb, will be gone in a few weeks)

Yep, he is bragging that all members of Alabama's Appellate Courts, State Supreme courts, Court of Criminal Appeals,
and Court of Civil Appeals is now 100% Republican.

BRAGGING about it.And about Rove's role.

"We are now a totally red Republican state from the State House to the White House" he boasts.

Worse yet, this columinst says" When Rove left after his Sherman like takeover, he left the Alabama business community with certain admonitions. He said voters did not care about the make up of the court system as long as they could see an "R" in front of the person's name".

This is the link to the online page, but in order to read it you have to be paying subscriber,
all that is viewable is a pic of the editorial page. "Tort Hell" is the article.

Unfortunately I read this just after a late lunch.

Excuse me, going to barf now.

2. Watch Hot Coffee
This particular information is brought up. It's disgusting what happened in Alabama. The one judge in particular was railroaded by Karl Rove's people - I think his name was Judge Diaz. Just an awful story.

Oh yeah and today I saw another Crossroads GPS ad attacking Senator Nelson here in Florida. Gotta love that slimeball Karl Rove :puke:
