Fox News superstar Karl Rove flubs on Romney, turns attention to finding his own ass with a funnel

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Fox News has trumpeted its acquisition of former top White House aide Karl Rove as a political analyst in recent days. But is the "fair and balanced" news network getting its money's worth from President Bush's political architect?

As rumors circulated that Mitt Romney would end his presidential campaign, the network turned to Rove on Thursday afternoon for remarks based on conversations between "Bush's Brain" and his supposedly well-placed sources. And moments before the Associated Press released clips from Romney's speech before the Conservative Political Action Conference indicating that he would certainly end his candidacy, it did not appear Rove's privileged insights were as well-developed as other commentators in the world of political news.

"What I'm hearing is that there's a strong sense inside the campaign that he is going to withdraw. I'm not certain that he's necessarily going to withdraw today, in his speech, though that is a possibility," said Rove as he started his informed commentary.

Rove drove home before the end of the segment that he wasn't certain Romney would quit the race.

"I want to be cautious about this," Rove emphasized. "It strikes me that while the path is working against him, this may not be the moment he decides to withdraw, decides to announce his withdrawal."

KARL ROVE ON WHY HE BELIEVES THE REPUBLICANS WILL KEEP THE HOUSE AND SENATE DESPITE POLLS TO THE CONTRARY IN AN INTERVIEW AIRING TODAY ON NPR'S ALL THINGS CONSIDERED

SIEGEL: You're saying the top three issues for the GOP this fall are war on terror, war on terror and war on terror?

ROVE: No, No, I gave you three examples of the war on terror. We can talk about taxes. Where 85% of Democrats in the Congress voted against cutting taxes on income. Cutting taxes on families with children. Cutting taxes on married couples that work. My point is make a choice between two different candidates.

SIEGEL: We are in the home stretch though and many would consider you on the optimistic end of realism about...

ROVE: Not that you would exhibit a bias, you just making a comment.

SIEGEL: I'm looking at all the same polls that you are looking at.

ROVE: No, you are not. I'm looking at 68 polls a week for candidates for the US House and US Senate, and Governor and you may be looking at 4-5 public polls a week that talk attitudes nationally.

SIEGEL: I don't want to have you to call races...

ROVE: I'm looking at all of these Robert and adding them up. I add up to a Republican Senate and Republican House. You may end up with a different math but you are entitled to your math and I'm entitled to THE math.

SIEGEL: I don't know if we're entitled to a different math but your...

ROVE: I said THE math.
