Rove Gets 'Uppity'

November 06, 2006 1:03 PM
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.

6. Hmmm...If the election were fixed

Would Crist have snubbed the Bush's?

Crist knows he's in a dogfight, and I think this is very telling.

7. So much for Brand-W Republicans

That was Mehlman's term, not Rove's.

But they're two occupational liars cut from the same cloth.
