Karl Rove (and what's his name)

It seems that Karl Rove is finally speaking out against the MSM. Good for him!
"There are some in politics who hold that voters are dumb, ill informed and easily misled, that voters can be manipulated by a clever ad or a smart line," said Rove, who is credited with President Bush's victories in the 2000 and 2004 elections. "I've seen this cynicism over the years from political professionals and journalists. American people are not policy wonks, but they have great instincts and try to do the right thing."
Well, some of voters are dumb! But not all, and those who aren't, ARE paying attention. Then we have John Kerry making his typical speech (same page):
Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry on Saturday challenged Democrats to take back statehouses and governor's mansions across the nation in November, saying the country becomes less safe under Republican control.
"The fact is, the United States of America is less secure today than we were five years ago," he said. "Less secure because North Korea has four or five times more weapons .... Iran is running amok, the Middle East _ the wheels are coming off, and Iraq is a quagmire."
Yada yada... blah blah. Can't he come up with anything new? If he has a plan, I really wish he'd share it with the rest of us, so we could start drooling every time he speaks too.
