Karl Rove is appalled
Imagine: Karl Rove is appalled that Nancy Pelosi would criticize the Bush administration for getting us into this financial mess. Last night on Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, Rove said Pelosi's comments "had a huge impact," calling her speech "five minutes of the most vicious partisan rhetoric. This is the kind of thing that you expect to hear on the floor of the House from some, you know, insignificant partisan back bencher. You do not expect to hear it from...the Speaker of the House whose responsibility it is to try and set the bipartisan tone to get this bill passed. I was appalled by this."
Karl Rove, the man who thought the war in Iraq was good political strategy to keep the Republicans in power . . . Karl Rove, of the McCain illegitimate baby rumor in the 2000 South Carolina primary, and of the 2006 firing of U.S. Attorneys . . . Karl Rove, of the politically-timed terrorist warnings in 2004, of warrantless wiretaps, and the man who said: "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to offer therapy and understanding for our attackers."
Karl Rove is appalled.
Comments
Don't forget that Rove outed a CIA agent because her husband dared to call out the administration for having falsely claimed that Saddam Hussein was trying to obtain enriched uranium from Niger. Bush 41 referred to people who exposed the identities of CIA agents as "the most insidious of traitors". Appalling, too, I might add.

Nevertheless, the stopped clock happened to be right when viewed on the O'Reilly Factor.
Do you really think that perceived excesses by one will forgive the excesses of another?
Speaker Pelosi failed to lead now. She failed the same people abut whom you lament. Will you revile her with the same vitriol?
