The topic of this article is wp:note. Your addition is not and it's inclusion is questionable due to wp:weight. Including it to attempt to bolster an article you recently created is questionable editing. Springee (talk) 21:47, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

The content is a significant viewpoint prominent in multiple reliable sources, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, International Business Times, the Los Angeles Times, and others; please see WP:DUE.

In February 2012, Rove said Chrysler's Halftime in America Super Bowl advertisement featuring Clint Eastwood was a sign of Chicago-style politics.

"The leadership of auto companies feel they need to do something to repay their political patronage," Mr. Rove said on Fox News, where viewers of the network's morning program "Fox & Friends" rated the ad their least favorite of the game. "It is a sign of what happens when you have Chicago-style politics, and the president of the United States and his political minions are, in essence, using our tax dollars to buy corporate advertising."

I was, frankly, offended by it. I'm a huge fan of Clint Eastwood. I thought it was an extremely well-done ad, he added. But it is a sign of what happens when you have Chicago-style politics and the president of the United States and his political minions are, in essence, using our tax dollars to buy corporate advertising and the best wishes of the management, which is benefited by getting a bunch of our money that they'll never pay back.

Did Karl Rove write the article?

Did the super controversial Karl Rove write the article himself? Karl Rove is considered one of the dirtiest players in the history of politics and is equal to Machiavelli in reputation. Why isn't that somewhere within the opening summary of the biographical figure? I am sure there is plenty of literature and investigative journalism out there on the Web to corroborate Karl Rove's controversial side and in many cases, criminal activity...

Hi there!

by what standard of evidence would Wikipedia accept a source for verifying Karl Rove as having the most punch-able face? Please and thankyou, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.48.233.182 (talk) 00:57, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Resignation Timing in 2007

The article does not directly explain why Rove resigned from the White House ( Bush Administration ) when he did .

In the outlining of the list of issues and controversies in the Bush Administration it is not at all clear if and how this resulted in his resignation . This seems to be quite a hole in the article . 2403:4800:386B:8400:5647:ABDB:F94F:43E5 (talk) 03:40, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Nickname given by President George W. Bush

The article does not mention nickname "Turd Blossom" given to Rove: "The term gained fame in the United States in 2004 as a nickname that was reportedly assigned by former U.S. President George W. Bush as a term of endearment for his former chief political advisor, Karl Rove. In July 2005, several newspapers declined to run two Doonesbury comic strips portraying Bush addressing Rove by this nickname." Iokevins (talk) 15:29, 18 September 2026 (UTC)
