Rove Gets 'Uppity'

ABC News' Karen Travers Reports: The television travel pool producer says they shot Karl Rove on camera reacting to Florida GOP gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist bailing on the Bush appearance in Pensacola today so that he can campaign in other parts of the state.

Asked what the Crist cancellation meant for Bush, Rove said "Let's see how many people show up in Palm Beach on 24 hours notice versus 8 or 9,000 people in Pensacola." Rove also said to ask Crist's people why they cancelled. The pool producer noted that Rove was "a little uppity" in his response.

After saying this, Rove tried to say it was off the record but the pool producer pointed out to him that the camera was rolling (and had been as he spoke earlier about GOP polling) and there were recorders in his face.

2. Rove Is Looking for Trouble

and these annoying, harrassing robocalls might be his ticket to serious time in jail (if there's any justice!)

3. Ah...cracks in the facade.

4. I figure Rove will be consigned to the ugly side of history.

I just wish he'd get his comeuppance much sooner than later.

[sui generis]

7. I'm kind of hoping he'll end up in The Hague or Nuremberg Trials

side of history.

Hey as long as they're hanging manipulative disgusting tyrants and torturing (excuse me "effectively questioning") enemies of the state we might as well send that skeezer two-penny villain for a quick electrode-fry of the nads.

11. But he got nads instead of a heart at birth - fry those & he's in cardiac arrest!

5. The mask slips as the pressure mounts

I love it. Must be having problems getting thru to his confederates at DieBold.

6. When the onion gets peeled down a few layers,

with who knew what about Foley, Rove's picture is going to be there right on top and he covered it up.

It was Rove who pleaded with Foley to run when he was going to resign prior to the expose because he knew investigations were coming fast and furious if we took the House. And that's what he told Foley to convince him to run.

Thar's tar in them blackberry brambles too for ya Rove. What size orange do you wear?

9. It's because Crist's gay lover doesn't like Bush (some people say)

See:

Charlie Crist says he didn't do it
Broward Palm Beach New Times:

A videotaped sworn statement has surfaced that bolsters the contention that Florida Attorney General and Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist had a recent romantic relationship with a convicted felon and former travel aide to U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris.

Last week, I reported that 21-year-old GOP staffer Jason Wetherington had claimed to credible sources that he had a sexual relationship with the 50-year-old Crist and had identified the frontrunner's 'long-term partner' as Bruce Carlton Jordan, who remains on state probation after serving a 30-day jail sentence for a conviction on grand theft and forgery charges.
