FTN: Rove gives Obama Veep advice.

Rove is the last person that should be giving Obama any advice and for the public to listen.

This is a man who not only thumbed his nose to the House committee subpoenas and may be held in contempt by Congress, but should be behind bars.

Crooks and Liars:

Rove tries to spin this that if Obama selects a governor like Kaine from a red state, it’s a political choice, rather than a presidential one, because all Obama is focused on is the electoral votes. Okay. Because Cheney was a real presidential choice…oh wait, Bush didn’t make the choice. Cheney chose himself. That’s thinking big and broad.

What cracks me up the most is Karl Rove’s attempt to diminish Kaine as a VP candidate:

I didn’t say I thought he ought to, I said he probably would pick a Red State Democrat, because I think he’s going to make an intensely political choice, not a governing choice. He’s going to view this through a prism of a candidate, not through the prism of President. That is to say, he’s going to pick somebody that he thinks on the margin will help him in a state like Indiana or Missouri or Virginia. He’s not going to be thinking big and broad about the responsibilities as President. Well, with all due respect again to Gov. Kaine, he’s been a governor for three years. He’s been able but undistinguished; I don’t think people could really name a big, important thing that he’s done.
