HuffPo quotes Rove "off the record" ... delusional.
Edited on Sun Sep-18-05 04:03 PM by understandinglife
Karl Rove, President Bush's top political advisor and deputy White House chief of staff, spoke at businessman Teddy Forstmann's annual off the record gathering in Aspen, Colorado this weekend. Here is what Rove had to say that the press wasn't allowed to report on.

On Katrina: The only mistake we made with Katrina was not overriding the local government...

On The Anti-War Movement: Cindy Sheehan is a clown. There is no real anti-war movement. No serious politician, with anything to do with anything, would show his face at an anti-war rally...

On Bush's Low Poll Numbers: We have not been good at explaining the success in Iraq. Polls go up and down and don't mean anything...

2. You know, I'm starting to wonder whether you can do that and still be sane
Seriously, does he talk that way because he calculates that that's the best spin he can put on what he knows is completely fucked? Or has he actually convinced himself that that crap is true, at least while he says it? Either way, I don't think you could sustain the cognitive dissonance for long and still function as a normal human in other circumstances.

3. Yes that's it TurdBlossom, keep thinking that.
There is no anti-war movement. It is only a figment of your wicked imagination. And all those people, all over the world next Saturday, are simply marching to support the struggle against ideological whatever-the-fuck-Luntz-told-you-to-call-it-this-week. Rove you are a dipshit. Go to Iraq. Don't even leave the green zone. It doesn't fucking matter you'll be shitting yourself before you finish crossing the ocean. Real progress my friend. Real progress.

4. Rove does not have kidney stones
Doctors suspect they are either "W's Brains" or bits of super-concentrated evil.

9. Was it a list of ten pronouncements? Perhaps it should be carved in
stone and put outside the WH.
