At SLANTblog the Karl Rove on Richmond story is discussed:

Since I was born in the Fan District and have lived in Richmond all my life, must I take umbrage at a low-brow put-down coming from a political figure I thoroughly dislike? There are two pieces in the Richmond Times-Dispatch today that react to Rove’s remarks about Richmond. (Click here for Michael Paul Williams’s column. Click here for A.Barton Hinkle’s OpEd piece.) Naturally, the political blogosphere has been replete with rather more blustery reactions. (If you need a dose of bluster, click here to check out Waldo’s Va. Political Blogroll for any number of posts on this matter.)

Yet, rather than get lathered up over Rove’s calculated sneers, it might be more useful to take a stab at figuring out why Bush’s former brain was high-profile scoffing at Kaine’s firsthand experience in dealing with urban problems as a mayor.
