From TPM:

"Karl Rove, now a frequent talking head on Fox News, for the first time publicly addressed the Don Siegelman case today.

It amounted to a complete denial that he ever knew Dana Jill Simpson (he might have met her at a fundraiser, he said, but didn't "believe" that he ever had) and that she ever worked on any campaign with which he was involved. "I never asked her to do a darn thing," he said. "It's a lie what she said."

Simpson, a Republican lawyer, told 60 Minutes and congressional investigators (under oath) that Rove had asked her to take a picture of Siegelman cheating on his wife -- and that this was just one of many requests that he'd made of her. Simpson also has testified that she was on a conference call where Rove's friend William Canary recalled talking to his buddy Karl about sicking the Justice Department on Siegelman, adding that “my girls would take care of him,” referring to U.S. attorney Leura Canary (his wife) and another U.S. attorney in the state.

Rove also took the opportunity to scold 60 Minutes for not interviewing him again after first conducting an off the record interview with him "five months ago." He did not say whether he would have agreed to do an on-camera interview if he'd known precisely what 60 Minutes was going to report. But "60 Minutes is now the National Enquirer of network news," in his estimation.

Simpson will be on MSNBC tonight on the Dan Abrams show."

1. BREAKING: Karl Rove is Lying about Who is Lying

and I think Karl Rove knows his political career is over.

[dchill]

12. Rove subscribes to the George Costanza axiom...

"It's not a lie - if YOU believe it."

[rhett o rick]

23. Sorry disagree. Karl lies because he knows he is lying and loves every minute. Pathological. nm

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. Oh, well if KKKarl says so.....

[LSparkle]

3. Simpson TESTIFIED ... KKKarl, you wanna go under OATH about that?

Oh, I forgot -- you don't "do" testimony, just off-the-record chats behind closed doors.

[ihavenobias]

4. Like I said in another thread

The guy is incredible (in the worst way). He's the biggest slimeball they have.

I'd say more but I need to cool off first.

At any rate, his statement is perfect in light of the discussion earlier today with Dan Rather's former producer (on TYT) on how the right wing pressures the news media:

[tishaLA]

5. Well then it's gotta be true, right?

I mean, uncle Karl has never led us astray before...

[Botany]

6. Bald Faced Liar

Did CBS ever call you?

Rove "It was an off the record conversation so I want to honor that."

Funny for not knowing about the story you have were able to plant some
smears before the broadcast.

And I bet if you wanted to Karl, you could call 60 minutes and ask to respond.



BTW blink and stutter much?

Siegelman is going to sue your fat ass for millions.

[gateley]

7. Whew! Glad THAT'S settled! nr

[midnight]

8. Somehow I think that Simpson's story will need to be heard

by an independent prosecutor.

[Voice for Peace]

9. Curious... they don't ask him about ignoring subpoena to testify to Congress?

gee

[dchill]

35. On FOX News, since the Democrats...

took the majority, Congress is no longer recognized as having any real legal authority. Legal authority is only possible when the Republican Party is in control. Outside the Republican Party, Karl Rove is known as being nothing but a serial liar and a repeat offender of American law. Inside the Republican Party, that translates to "genius."

[Voice for Peace]

36. LOL.. thanks for clearing that up. nt

I am embarrassed that this man, or a excuse for a man even have some Norwegian blood in his vains... I believe he had great-grandfpartens who was from Norway some place..

As the case in mind.. I don't know what is true, and what is not true, but when it come to Karl Rove, everything is possible I guess... He is a evil in human custume... But a very good strategist, that should be said.. But when he used it for evil gains, it such of destroy it anyway..

I hope mr Rove and the rest og this Administration one day are standing for judge, to face criminal charges against the american public, the world, and a lot of war-crime charges.. Then I would be very happy again... Even that is is near impossible to believe that american would dear to wake up, and smell what is there anymore.. Better to burrie it inn some more lies I guess... Even that they have been taken in so many lies that it is just criminal to let them go free..


Diclotican

Sorry my bad English, not my native language

[delt664]

11. Karl said it its not true

and thats good enough for me. The man is beyond reproach!



Oh and i got a good chuckle out of "CBS is the new National Enquirer" getting airtime on Faux News.

[truth2power]

13. To hear the word "honor" coming from the mouth of that worthless POS..

it's a wonder lightning doesn't strike him. Blech! :puke:

[dave123williams]

14. I'm sure he'll convince the hell out of his cellmate about this, and many other issues.

[lovuian]

15. Go Under oath Karl and take a lie detector test

and then we Believe you more than coming on Fox and calling Simpson a liar

Yes the Justice Department are trained dogs now for Bush

but their time runs out

[barbtries]

16. karl rove is lying

he makes me sick.

[danghbr]

17. You Gotta GIve Rove Credit....

He covers his butt very well in that statement. First he says he's never met the woman then, realizing a photo may be out there of him with Simpson posing together at some function, clarifies saying he might have shaken her hand; thereby preparing himself for deflection.


There will be political science and history courses dedicated to the study of this man, his brilliance, and his evil ways.

[bleever]

18. Welcome to DU, danghbr.

:hi:

[santamargarita]

19. When Does this Asshole got to Jail?

"Have I told you today how much I hate these people?"
thanks Mike M.

[libodem]

20. He's the assclown of politicians

and the Pinocchio of Kabuki dancers. What a gallon bucket of hag fish slime that little lying weasel is. Hope he chokes on his own bile.

[Kitty Herder]

21. Karl, I hate to break it to ya, but you have no credibility.

NO one believes you anymore. So shut your pie hole!

[rhett o rick]

22. If there was a God, Karl and Cheney would be in jail. nm

[rhett o rick]

24. How can you be proud of a country that puts Don Seigelman in prison and lets Karl

get a spot in the national media. I love my country but not at all proud

[Jack Rabbit]

25. That's rich

Tell it to the judge, Karl.

[Hulk]

26. WOW...am I ever relieved to hear rove say it was a lie.....

This coming from the sickest liar in this whole criminal administration. I can put my mind at ease now.

Who would believe this sleezy bag of horse shit?

[candymarl]

27. I, for one, believe him

I mean, would Karl Rove lie? A more honest, forthright.... Bleegh.
I can't do it. I dislike this weasel so much even sarcasm is too good for him.:puke:

[balantz]

28. Karl can suck shit from an elephant's ass.

[defendandprotect]

29. Well . .. that's certainly good enough for all of us --- !!!!

Aaaaah . . . glad that's over ---

Bye, Siegelman --- too bad!!!

[Mozcram]

30. What a sensation!

Absolutely breathtaking! He just leaves me speechless.... how
can he exist,
and look like that, and function just like a human being??
What is the opposite of a miracle? He is a human version of
whatever that would be, lol.

[Dustlawyer]

31. CYOA

He said he might have met her at a fundraiser to cover his ass when the photos of them together come out. As we say in Texas, he is a lying sack of shit!

[NM Independent]

32. I will never again fool myself...

...by saying I can't hate him anymore. I didn't know I had so much hate inside of me.

[whistle]

33. KKKarl Rove has fear in his voice....he is lying

[balantz]

34. Everything he stands for is a lie.
