Rove on CBS: "The National Enquirer of Network News"

[sabra]

Source: TV Newser Blog

FNC contributor Karl Rove made some news during the premiere of America's Election HQ this afternoon.

Rove discussed the 2008 presidential election, but also responded to last night's 60 Minutes report which implicated him in a political smear campaign during the Don Siegelman's 2002 campaign for for Governor of Alabama. Rove denied ever having contact with Jill Simpson who accused him of participating. Rove then bashed CBS' reporting tactics.

"It's a lie what she said, and CBS is now sort of the National Enquirer of network news," Rove told Bill Hemmer. "I mean, they didn't bother to call me after five months. I have to read about it on the AP wire to know what they're doing."

Rove said earlier that he'd spoken with CBS regarding the story five months ago in an off-the-record conversation, but was not called for comment after they decided to move forward with the story.

1. Oh please

piss off CBS. Do it. I hope it makes them come at you twice as hard. Come on Karl. Diss them some more. Payback would be wonderful and they can do it if they want to.

11. That would be my hope, too.

I think the best line of questioning would be something that needles and continues to provoke him until he can't help himself and says something incriminating.

7. Call the WAHHHHHHbulance

Someone needs their bottle.

8. And he said on FoxNews

9. With all the toxic waste Rove spews, you'd think he would have spontaneously combusted by now.

At the very least he should be made to wear a warning for all who might get too close:



Or maybe he should just be buried in a very deep hole in Nevada.

[Hissyspit]

10. He works for Rupert Murdoch, the tabloid king, who admitted using his media to get us into the Iraq

war. And he accuses CBS? What an absolute ridiculous asshole he is.

12. Rove is a war criminal

just like the rest of the Bush/Cheney crime family. He is just as responsible for the mass death in Iraq as Bush himself. He wanted the war to win an election...thats the bottom line. Rove knew that a war in Iraq would rally the nation round King George and did not give a shit about our soldiers or the children or the women or peace or any of that crap. He wanted to win an election.

This is the kind of people we have running our nation...creepy ideologues who care not one bit about people and only care about winning and maintaining power and wealth. Mass murderers, war mongers, liars, treasonous criminals...thats this administration and the republican party. And to think this fucker is writing for Newsweek and invited on national television to provide his "insight"...that alone says everything you need to know about the state of things in this nation. There is no hope.

13. Would you care to make those statements under oath, Karl?

Didn't think so.

And Faux is only too happy to give Rove a sounding board to spew his bullshit. Did Faux give John Kerry the same luxury during the Skank Boat attacks during the '04 elections? Have they done it to any Democrat?

[BearSquirrel2]

14. How kind of Rove

How kind of Rove to lecture from Pravda US (Faux News).

CBS is the only network with a shred of integrity left (note I said SHRED).

15. Karl Rove, the Joseph Goebbels of American politics.

[tom_paine]

16. You beat me to it. n/t

[HughBeaumont]

17. CBS is a Viacom corporation. Their CEO voted for Bewsh in 2004.

So once again, Karl . . . you waste-of-life, pink-bellied pigshit fucking asshole, THERE IS NO LIBERAL MEDIA!!!!
