Irony alert, with emphasis.
KARL ROVE: Mmm-hmm. Well, I think it shows a lack of vision. If you really
don’t… The fallback position in politics is if you don’t know what
you want to be about, and if you don’t know what your vision is, go at somebody
else. I think that the American people when they approach a presidential
election, are always interested in the future, and particularly at the end
of an eight-year presidency they want to know what the next person is going
to be doing, and so to my mind… Look, it was so over-the-top that frankly,
people, an ordinary cat listening to that on the street is going to say, “Well,
wait a minute. That’s not true.” I thought it was also egregious that
she, in the same ad, talked about the president of the United States treating
our troops in Afghanistan as invisible. I mean, how did she vote on the surge?
You know, this is a woman who has been less than supportive of the policies
that those men and women who are in the frontlines of the global war on terror
fighting. This is like a woman who has opposed the Patriot Act that gave us
the tools to defend the homeland. This is a woman who opposes the terrorist
surveillance program that allowed us to listen in on the conversations of
bad people who are calling into the United States. She opposed the FISA reforms
that would allow us to listen into communications and see the communications
of international terrorists who are communicating with other international
terrorists, even outside the country whose messages simply happened to flow
through US telecom networks. You know, again, I’m a little bit surprised that
somebody with a record so weak on these things would somehow deign to lecture
this president, who is very popular among the military and military families
because they see him as a strong commander-in-chief who supports them, loves
them, and gives them everything they need and want.
Just when you think Republicans would rather run against Clinton, Rove shows up with flop sweat so bad you can swear you’re hearing the beeds of sweat drop from his shiny bald head through your radio. It’s not like Karl to show his yellow streak so openly. Republicans really do have a thing against strong women. It positively paralyzes them.
