Well you've gotta give him credit for appreciating the mentality of his audience. After all, it was a Republican women's luncheon he was at when he made the comments.
Posted by snark at February 9, 2007 12:56 PMAmazing. Can you imagine if Pelosi or The Hillary made a statement like that.

Call it penance.
Posted by God Of War at February 9, 2007 01:14 PMRove's still pandering to the scared white, christian base aka Republicans.
Congress could boost their approval ratings with the public if they'd start impeachment proceedings against Bush & Cheney.
But they won't.
Posted by Alex at February 9, 2007 01:30 PMI keep saying that I'm tired of W-O-R-K being a four letter word in this country. Occasionally someone gives me a strange look and ask for an explanation.
I'll just direct them to Karl from now on.
Posted by clio at February 9, 2007 02:50 PMRove can go fuck himself.
Posted by Christopher at February 9, 2007 02:57 PMAre you telling me that some woman actual had sex with that short fat little bald troll (not that there's anything wrong with being short, fat, or bald)? BARF!
Posted by Judith at February 9, 2007 05:42 PMAndrew Madison Rove, is twenty years old. Why isn't he in Iraq?

...their tomato crop isn't ripe yet?
I wonder if Andrew Madison Bush is as gay as his dad?
Karl, on when he first met the chimporer:
"His first memory of George W. Bush was more precise. "It was the day before Thanksgiving, 1973," Rove said. "Chairman Bush´s chief of staff called me and said, 'I've got to be at a meeting on the Hill, the chairman´s got to be at a meeting at the White House, the other people in the office have already gone, and the eldest son is going to be coming down from Harvard. He's going to arrive at the train station, early afternoon. He'll call over here when he gets to the train station. Meet him down in the lobby and give him the keys to the family car." I can literally remember what he was wearing: an Air National Guard flight jacket, cowboy boots, bulletins, complete with the -in Texas you see it a lot- one of the back pockets will have a circle worn in the pocket from where you carry your tin of snuff, your tin of tobacco. He was exuding more charisma than any one individual should be allowed to have.""
$5 will get you $10 Rove blew him like a centegenarian making a birthday wish.

Oopsie Daisey! Andrew Madison ROVE.

Then Dubya saw God and the rest is history.
Posted by iamcoyote at February 9, 2007 07:07 PMWhen did Bill Clinton serve in Viet Nam?
Opps...my bad...he received a deferment...was that before or after he wrote the letter where he stipulated that he [Bill Clinton] "loathed the military?
"Loathed." That is the word he used, isn't it?
Please people, move beyond the 1970s in your arguments.
Posted by Bagley at February 9, 2007 08:06 PMPlenty of boomers didn't go to Vietnam.
Very few of them went on to become shameless war-whoring propagandist assholes like Rove who lied the country into a major war and who call political opponents traitors and terrorist-sympathizers.
Phidipides, evidently someone else thinks Rove's description of Bush is just a little too much.
The zealousness with which Rove and Mehlman pursue an anti-gay agenda for political utility suggests more than just an ambition to win elections. Students of Freud might be able to artfully deconstruct their behavior but even lay analysts can see a bit of repression and self-loathing at work. Maybe Rove has a desire to get back at his father for leaving his mother when he "chose" to be gay. Or perhaps he is fighting his own homo-erotic impulses. His description of George Bush the first time they met goes a bit beyond a geek's admiration of the cool guy quarterback:

Love this quote: "Rove is a political Ted Bundy"
"Then Dubya saw God and the rest is history."
The effects of that unfortunate epiphany should be completely corrected in only 8 or 9 generations.

Please, move beyond Clinton. He was the best "conservative" the likes of you ever had. And in case you didn't notice, its your draft dodgers who are fucking things up so terribly in Iraq and the nation. "AWOL", that's what the Mad King did, isn't it? You know, dereliction of duty stuff.
And just so you'll know, the "blowjob" Clinton is not running for President. The "sell us to the highest insurance industry bidder for healthcare" Clinton is.
