I'm a fan of many blogs. I visit them frequently and I learn a lot from them. But there also blogs written by angry kooks."—Karl Rove, lamenting the loss of civility in politics on the web.
"We will fuck him. Do you hear me? We will fuck him. We will ruin him. Like no one has ever fucked him!"—Karl Rove, expressing displeasure with a political operative who had displeased him in 2003.
