Although some glitz has come off Mr Rove, Republicans have been more eager to blame botched campaigns and individual ethics scandals. “Bob Sherwood’s seat would have been overwhelmingly ours, if his mistress hadn’t whined about being throttled,” said Mr Norquist. Any lessons from the campaign? “Yes. The lesson should be, don’t throttle mistresses.”

1. "whined about being throttled"...

You've got to be kidding me! WTF is wrong with these people?

[prolesunited]

18. How about the asshole candidate

shouldn't have throttled her in the first place?!?!?

[Rose Siding]

23. That's as bad as his bath tub quote. Grover's a giver.

He keeps giving us ugly quotes that show his party in the very worst light.

[Demeter]

2. There Are None So Blind As Those Who Will Not See

Yes, even the magician Karl Rove couldn't turn a pile of pig shit into silk purses, but how did those scandalous candidates get there in the first place?

And as for Norquist, there's a nice cell, complete with jumpsuit in orange or stripes, free room and board for as long as he lives.

And those robo-calls didn't dial themselves....

[NanceGreggs]

3. As always with this bunch ...

... the great sin is not the doing - it is getting caught doing it.

[54anickel]

19. Fits that line from Dick Armey. ""A fundamental premise of politics ..."

"A fundamental premise of politics is we can make this work if people just never figure it out."

[jazzjunkysue]

4. Gotta look out for those whiny mistresses. Get an animatronic one.

Works for Laura. She never whines.

[spindrifter]

5. That's right--they all share the blame.

Cocky KKKarl made a few miscalculations and the thug candidates were showing their signature behaviors on prime time. TFB.

[AIJ Alom]

6. Blame the victim as usual, not the Republican values hypocrite.

And one has to question Norquist's values as well. He didn't say don't have mistresses, just don't choke them. Real class acts all around.

[Ecumenist]

7. Good, that means, at least from my perspective, that that

lying slobbering criminal will be used by the giggling odd paedophiles will trusdst him ONCE AGAIN to use cheating and trucks full of dirty tricks once again. The one thing that roverer is known for is trying different variations of the same low down tactics.

[otohara]

8. Shouldn't The Lesson Be - Don't Lie About WAR

and have every republican in power rubber stamp every foolish bill the dimwits in the White House wanted?

[madrchsod]

9. grover needs a hot bar stuck up his ass

fucking scumbag--

[truthisfreedom]

10. the party of unaccountability proves it once again.

blame the victim, pretend they didn't get us into this war... never take the blame for screwing up.

[ThoughtCriminal]

11. But Rove claims that the loss was NOT because of Iraq

Either way - he's a loser.

[C_U_L8R]

12. i thought for sure this was an Onion spoof

good lord... norquist is one sociopathic sick puppy

[HaggardsMethDealer]

13. Norquist has some issues.

His choice quotes always have abuse themes..."whining about being throttled"..."drown it in a bathtub"

Just waiting for his inevitable Haggard-like collapse where they find the bodies under his floorboards.

[Kenergy]

14. It's all Clinton's fault n/t

[Shakespeare]

15. Norquist is a closeted freak who despises women. Read Brock's book

in Blinded by the Right, Brock goes into damning detail about Norquist and his gang, and their many offenses include their depiscable attitude towards women.

I don't wish anybody ill, but the sooner that asshole is off this planet, the better place it'll be.

[Hieronymus]

17. Did Bill Maher out Grover Norquist on his show?

Bill said he would out prominent republicans on his show last night.:eyes:

[pinto]

16. Slimy, pathetic spin there, even for a Republican. They lost across the board.

[Generic Brad]

20. They won't throw Rove under the bus because he knows where bodies are buried

Figuratively speaking of course. Although he deserves it, he has been part of the inner circle too long and knows too much. Throwing him to the wolves is not in Bush's best interest.

[jazzjunkysue]

21. Rover will always have a job: Some sleezball will always hire him to

get elected.

He wasn't an elected servent. He was just an employee, so, he'll get away with whatever he cooked up. The elected men will be convicted and then pardoned.

[aquart]

25. Oh, honey, I doubt it's just figurative.

[Generic Brad]

26. True. But I am making a strong effort to be civil. n/t

[VegasWolf]

22. GOP! Please keep your "genius" Rove around for a long time. Mr. Clear

Intuition, who predicted a loss of one maybe two seats is clearly a genius who has his hand squarely on the pulse of the country! Please, please keep him!

[jazzjunkysue]

24. Lol! n/t.

[Lindacooks]

27. Fuck you, Norquist.

I'd like to see you throttled.

[Fovea]

28. You can plainly see in the current administration

how upbringing makes an important difference.
Neglected, abused, yet over priviledged children,
they are grown up into fat, cowardly monsters of sarcasm and paper thin bravado.

These are the spoiled brats of Leo Strauss, without a doubt. I call them 'The Aristocrats.'

[wisteria]

29. Well than Rove shouldn't be given credit for 2004 either because that was aabout

Iraq too.

[jazzjunkysue]

30. Well, I guess I know how to get onto LBN: Mention Rove!

Hey- We won! Rove screwed up.

The constitution is going to be put on life support until january and then we'll rescusitate it.

Back to the "It can't ever happen in this country" meme.

Thank goodness! Americans woke up and decided to take back control of their country from the evil Neocons.

Now that every news show today explained that Poppy is rescuing the homeland from the neocons, they're not going to get away with anymore invasions.

Let's hope Isreal doesn't start anything with Iran. If not, we're home free until we can place a decent president in the oval office who can keep things cool.

Meanwhile, back to my old america! Free-thinking and liberated from evil!
