Top GOP Strategist Karl Rove Loses Cool Under Questioning from "Boss Rove" Author Craig Unger

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

CRAIG UNGER: Before and during the Republican primaries, on Fox News and the Wall Street Journal, you took—were highly critical of Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry—

MODERATOR: Wait, wait. We don’t read questions here. Just be quick.

CRAIG UNGER: —and Gingrich. Were you doing that intentionally to help Romney’s chances, and did you discuss it at all with Roger Ailes?

KARL ROVE: No and no. And I was complimentary of some of those same people at different times. But if—for example, when Donald Trump went out and Rick Perry went out and embraced the birther issue, I was critical of it. Unger’s got an interesting book. I’m responsible for the murder of Michael Connell.

1. Interesting that Rove used the word "murder."

Someone who DIDN'T think Connell was murdered would use the word "death." So, how does Rove know Connell was murdered?

Paging Dr. Freud!

4. I wouldn't exactly call that "losing his cool"

In fact, compared to his usual the safety of protective Faux bubble, it seems rather bold of them to allow an opponent to ask a direct question.

6. I'm going to kick this because the whole piece is really, really worth watching.

Not just the excerpt on Karl Rove. The whole rest of the segment.
