Card; 'Sometimes Karl's Mouth Gets Ahead Of His Brain'

Ain't that the truth! I'm thnking KKK may be in the process of making himself irrelevant. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy, but that's the least that should happen to him.


‘Karl Rove told Charlie Rose during a recent interview that Congress had pushed President Bush to go into Iraq prematurely. According to Rove, the White House had been opposed to holding the war vote close to the 2002 elections because "we thought it made it too political."

This morning, former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card went on MSNBC's Morning Joe and laughed off Rove's claims. Read part of the transcript from Think Progress:

SCARBOROUGH: We have to start with something that we all are talking about a couple of days ago where Karl Rove went on Charlie Rose and he blamed the Democrats for pushing him and the president into war. Is that how it worked?

CARD: No, that's not the way it worked.

Card went on to explain that sometimes Rove's "mouth gets ahead of his brain":

SCARBOROUGH: Is that just Karl spinning beyond the White House? ...

CARD: Well, Karl is very smart. He's -- sometimes his brain gets ahead of his mouth. And sometimes his mouth gets ahead of his brain.’

Rove just expects them to print every ridiculous thing he puts out as being the truth. So why shouldn't he say totally bullshit stuff - no one ever questions him.

There's a thin line between a brilliant mind & insanity. He didn't make these remarks in a backroom; he made them on t.v. He's seems oblivious to the fact that his remarks can easily be fact-checked on the internet.

psychopath like his little puppet boy. He will say and do anything regardles of whether it's true or ethical or not. And he'll smear anyone who gets in his way. It doesn't have to be a smear based on facts, it just has to be something rotten. He knows that there are a lot of people who won't take time to try to find out whether or not he's telling the truth. They'll just swallow his crap whole. So why should he care? Even if he gets found out, he's still got the dumb ass crowd behind him.

just like darth cheney! one can only hope they would not still get away with that crap.

and that bush's policies are "correct."

It is a very good thing that violence is down in Iraq, but if bushco now wants credit for it, while taking none of the blame for all the missteps that got us there, don't expect us to line up to shake their hands.

It also remains to be seen what happens between now and a successful exit.

Bushco is positioning itself to claim victory so that any good events between now and a successful exit can be claimed, while any bad events can be blamed on those pushing for an end.

It's not dissimilar to the way that bush's war was shifted to our being bystanders to a civil war in which we had no blame, or the shift in blame for that war now attributed to Iran.

It's not dissimilar to the way bush blamed Clinton for the economy he "inherited," and then whined that he wasn't getting credit for the good economy we now enjoy. :eyes: Will bush still claim that economy as his own when it slips into recession? Will bush claim Iraq if it turns out to be stop-gap improvement with more blood and treasure demanded before it is over?

"Weapons inspectors ain't findin' nothin'? Fuck that! Yank 'em out so ah can start a'bombin!"

Saddam invaded Kuwait in August 1990, and Bush 41 could have pushed for a war vote before the November Congressional elections. They deliberately chose to wait until January 1991 for the vote in Congress because otherwise it would politicize the war, which they considered a negative. Some might even say that was putting national security ahead of politics. Yes, there was such a time.

Rove knows his guy doesn't have a smidgen of the integrity of the father.

a gross lie that democrats should be using the film clip during the '08 congressional campaign season.

Who's in charge of PR for the dems?
