First, a new (okay, old, but I didn't have it in my usericons until now) icon in honor of Mr. A Noun, A Verb, POW! McSame.

Second:

This via The Sideshow:

"I think he's going to make an intensely political choice, not a governing choice," Rove said. "He's going to view this through the prism of a candidate, not through the prism of president; that is to say, he's going to pick somebody that he thinks will on the margin help him in a state like Indiana or Missouri or Virginia. He's not going to be thinking big and broad about the responsibilities of president."

Oh. Sorry, you thought that was about Sarah Barracuda Palin? No, it was Rove on the possibility that Obama would select Tim Kaine of Virginia. More:

"With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he's been a governor for three years, he's been able but undistinguished," Rove said. "I don't think people could really name a big, important thing that he's done. He was mayor of the 105th largest city in America."

Rove continued: "So if he were to pick Governor Kaine, it would be an intensely political choice where he said, `You know what? I'm really not, first and foremost, concerned with, is this person capable of being president of the United States."

Let's hear the Dems shouting these words loudly and often.
