New York’s Gabriel Sherman reports that Fox News is scaling back airtime for Republican pundit Karl Rove, in what appears to be a reprimand for Rove’s meltdown during the network’s live election broadcast.
Sources told Sherman that Fox News chief Roger Ailes has ordered his staff to bench Rove and his fellow GOP pundit Dick Morris, two of the network’s most vocal partisan voices whose predictions turned out to be spectacularly wrong. According to Sherman, producers must now get permission before booking Rove or Morris on Fox shows.
The move comes as Fox takes steps to rehab its image in the wake of Republican defeats this November. Rove, in particular, has been widely mocked by members of both parties, both for his onscreen tantrum and for the abysmal performance of his American Crossroads super PAC.
According to some reports, Rove’s meltdown angered Ailes, who had explicitly warned his staff to hold it together on Election Night.
Now here’s why Rove could be the first casualty in the Republican Civil War >

From “The Huffington Post,” rich donors are none too pleased with Rove:
“The billionaire donors I hear are livid,” one Republican operative told The Huffington Post. “There is some holy hell to pay. Karl Rove has a lot of explaining to do … I don’t know how you tell your donors that we spent $390 million and got nothing.”
Hey! Precious Family, this is laughable! The big dogs are actually admitting to an attempt to “buy a U.S. Presidential Election” and then bitterly complaining that their “Corporate Speech”–so gratuitously distributed to all of those political “operatives” and Main Stream Media parasites charged with “rigging” the election–didn’t seem to have much of an “effect.” So, the Universe gave them what they asked for in their “Citizen’s United” struggle, lavishly subverting the hopes and dreams of the common man to secure a chokehold on our political process.
… and then,
Just as Drunvalo has often cautioned, the Universe came from behind and completely destroyed their organized chicanery by kicking their behinds so far up underneath their chins they’ll be wearing them for a collar for the next four years at the very least! So much for left-brain deliberations–they obviously aren’t (1) very-well conceived as an ideal, and (2) merely work to aggravate the Universe to seek “balance.” How much more effective is the All-Mind? Well, this is somewhat of a small demonstration. Let us “teach/learn” and continue on the paths that we have chosen for ourselves.

The beginning of the End of an Era with the dismissall maybe banishment of Rove and his Co-hort, Dick Morris. They have created more havoc and hate through the American psychy and/or consciousness and I will not be sorry to see them gone.
Karl Rove, along with W, NEED to be charged with war crimes. However, it is nice to see Turdblossom learn that karma is a b****. With the changes that should be coming soon, I certainly hope that we will see W, Rove, and the rest of the “loyal Bushies” get lead away in chains.
Gee, I must have missed the meltdown, seems to me he was just expressing his opinion without any histrionics whatsoever. Unless the originals have been replaced I don’t see any meltdown here…..
