According to this St. Petersburg Times story, saved here for posterity, "Karl Rove said that he would be plotting the Republican Party's fall election strategy with his longtime comrade-in-arms, Satan."

I've had a discussion with a staff reporter re: medias coverage of Iraq, in which he talked about people being safer under Saddam and defended the complete non-coverage of Kurdistan (an entire important region of Iraq where Michael Totten has gone and created award-worthy journalism) because nothing could possibly more important than bombs going off in the streets.
I guess this article is simply typical in its world-view for the paper, albeit atypical in its honesty.
First, This article is obvious satire and a quick google search turns up the author as a guy names Borowitz. Second, the site you attribute to the St Petersburg Times isn't the St Petersburg Times website. Third, the page you link to no longer exists. Fourth, the image looks like a bad photoshop job because it's in a completely different layout than the St Petersburg Times website.
