Karl Rove has yet to respond to my request for comment, but he did oblige Fox News for a few questions about my report last night that he contacted Joe Lieberman last week to urge him to contact McCain and take himself out of the veepstakes.
Rove first said: "Sen. Lieberman's camp denied it, and so did my camp last night, so I guess Politico.com was wrong."
Rove is incorrect. Lieberman's office has not denied it. And I'm not sure what Rove means by "my camp," but I have not heard anything from him, others in Bushworld or McCain's campaign denying the story.
Pressed by Fox's Megyn Kelly, Rove wouldn't deny calling Lieberman.
