Karl Rove: "CBS Is Now Sort Of The National Enquirer Of Network News"

Karl Rove appeared on today's premiere of Fox News' new election show, "America's Election HQ." At the tail end of his segment he addressed last night's controversial "60 Minutes" piece, which suggested that Rove worked through a Republican operative in Alabama to dig up dirt on the Governor there. Rove flatly denied the allegations and called CBS the "National Enquirer of network news," claiming that CBS never even called him for comment on the story.

Poor little Turd Blossom. Has he ever done anything to advance the good of humanity? I think not. Poor, little Turd Blossome.

[kgrdem]

Here's what I wish for Karl Rove:

I want him in a Federal Prison for violating the rights of American citizens.
I want him in a cell for 20 hours a day.
I want his visiting hours monitored and overseen by corrections officers.
I want him stripped searched before he walks out of his cell and before visiting hours.
I want his mail read by correctional authorities, going out and coming in.
I want him to have once-a-month packages sent by loved ones with Federally Approved contents, to be searched prior to delivery
I want his every move to be monitored, all of his privileges to be overseen by the correctional institution
I WANT THIS BASTARD BEHIND BARS

Good stuff, kgrdem.
I was going to add, how about sending Rove some anthrax... no, we're not like him. ; - D

My god what a dinosaur. This evil little man has a special place in hell reserved for him.

So the right makes fun of Obama for having hope and vision, yet they support this scumbag who has to resort to blackmail to railroad through his backdoor deals.

These neo-crackers are on their "last throes"

Karlrovian Amerika, as opposed to the messy Democracy we are used to, is going to save a lot of time and trouble. we won't need trial lawyers or written law. We'll be able to waterboard our way to truth and justice, and simply black out the news to anyone who may have relevant facts. A Blackwater truth squad will be empowered with the same rules of engagement that work so well in Iraq. The Constitution will be replaced with a signing statement, giving the Supreme Court a much needed rest, and prisons will be outsourced to the manufacturing sector, making them competitive with even the Chinese. I will die before this comes to pass,(Probably on a Tuesday in November) but there are going to be eighteen or twenty very happy people in this country! Is this any more ridiculous than what we see today would have sounded ten years ago? The turd blossom special is leaving the station my friends, and this ain't no fuckin game!!!

The media and the progressive websites should not let this story die. The dots can be connected between the Don Siegelman story and the fired federal prosecutors. We know that Karl Rove didn't retire to spend time with his family, but fled the White House to save his behind. The truth about this administration is unraveling.

Rove has refused to testify before Congress, but let's see what happens when he ignores a special prosector's subpoena. He WILL be held in contempt.

Perhaps Congress has let the Bush Administration's crimes slide because they know Bush would just pardon everyone on his way out the door. However, Bush will have no pardoning power after leaving office. Maybe then the country can go after these criminals and put them in jail.

The day der Bush leaves office his name becomes unmentionable, pass the word.

[foolchild0]

As the "National Enquirer" of political operatives, I guess maybe Rove knows what he's talking about...but then again, he also blames the Democrats for the Iraq war, so it's pretty clear he's lost it.

[ErinG]

Rove is mistaken. Fixed News has long laid claim to the title “National Enquirer of Network News.”

[kgrdem]

Anyone who has been paying attention and wants to know what is really going on here is tuned into talkingpointsmemo.com This story about Siegelman has been out there for months. What the hell is wrong with the MSM?? Josh Marshall broke the US Attorney scandal, which no MSM outlet even was curious about until it was no longer prudent to avoid it, months and months ago. Part of his reporting was about the Don Siegelman case. So, where was the MSM while this guy was rotting in prison??

As much as I love the really good bloggers, I want to see our MSM understand that this country is not going to survive as long as the Bushes and Cheneys are in power and depend on us being ignorant. What the hell is wrong with them???

[Collielady]

You have defined fascism.

[Davwbaird]

We make much too much of this Karl Rove Goebbels's like character. Really Much too much, too much lets stop making too much.

[KOisGod]

Baby chicken hair appears on THE "National Enquirer of network news," Fox, to accuss CBS of being the "National Enquirer of network news."

Tell us KKKarl, go ahead, we are interested in your opinion, like we are in the opinion of the rest of the neocon filth that are breaking our laws daily, while getting to spew their bullshit on Fox, and over at the NYT, with his homo boyfriend, Kristol.

Karma going to be a bitch you fat loser, when W's not around to protect your lying ASS.

[kccrafts]

meanwhile, while everyone pisses and moans about what a devil rove is, that poor guy is rotting in jail ... for NOTHING more than daring to be a democrat....

that's what we should be talking about. talk about absolutely destroying civil liberties!

[SaskiaStars]

I know it is totally unbelievable. Alabama needs to fix this travisty

[incontempt]

LOCKUP is coming Karl...Don't make any plans or leave the country...your time is near, to my bated breathe and great enthusiasm I cannot speak. I long for this day so take notice, the Law is coming. The Laws will make an example out of your sorry circus ass.

your time is coming, na na na nana

[wolfgangmo]

I think you are wrong.

Like other American War criminals such as Kissinger, Rove will not be able to leave Amerika. We will of course protect him. It will be too damaging to let him get nabbed by another country.

He will grow rich and fat and will not travel.

[srvblooze]

Rot in hell you fat piece of shit

[bushmocker]

I'm agnostic,I'd prefer he rotted in prison where we could get updates.

[peachfuzz]

Oh boy here we go; my estimate is CBS has gotten better in the last few months and now I know I am correct.

[HGalal]

As this story continues to unfold, I would lay low for a while and try to stay out of the media spotlight, if I were Rove.

Can anyone say Alberto Gonzalez?
