Don't expect to see this picture from Time magazine in an Apple iPhone ad any time soon, but it does appear as though presidential political advisor Karl Rove - known affectionately, it is said, as Turd Blossom to his boss - has succumbed to the hype.
We know Rove is an e-mail power user, if not a particularly conscientious one in terms of maintaining legally required archives. But it comes as news to me that the guy is gadget hound.
So I presume Rove has already seen this clip, but just in case, Apple provides helpful hints for new users on its Web site. Tip No. 2 promises: "Here's a quick and easy way to delete e-mail and SMS text messages on iPhone."
Don't mention it, Karl.
By the way, I can't claim to be eagle-eyed enough to have spotted the Rove's phone of choice myself. A MacDailyNews reader named "Bill" is getting credit over there.

Links misleading
Not only is the column innapropriate and simply an indicator of the author's fevered liberal political hatreds, the 2 links that supposedly relate to some kind of sleazy behavior by Rove (purportedly illegal email deletion and an attack on McCain) don't have anything linking him to either. So it's misleading as well. How about that? A column about how evil Rove is consisting of web links that don't indicate what the author wants us to think they indicate. He apparently has Rove Derangement Syndrome.
As Rove said in his WSJ interview a few days ago,
"I'm a myth. There's the Mark of Rove," Rove says in the interview. "I read about some of the things I'm supposed to have done, and I have to try not to laugh."
