Does this man have no shame? Karl Rove on "Karl Rove tactics" being deployed by the McCain campaign. Unbelievable! (most amazing statement at about minute 3)

And now for some levity - great sendup!
EDIT: NBC had this clip pulled from YouTube and put it on their own home page!

If there were True Justice in the universe, somewhere about the middle of that little talk, Karl Rove's tongue would have fallen out of his mouth and scurried away in disgust.

btw, the other video apparently has been pulled.

[alterfano]

fixed. NBC had it pulled from youtube and had the wherewithall to put it on their own site!

I noticed that Rove's interviewer was saying, "I think you are a public figure." in response to Rove's wisecracks about demanding royalties. What a waste of air time.

I'll admit that Rove is intelligent and speaks well but he also crudely plays some to the most simple-minded listeners with the tiniest violin in the world.

it's his specialty. as is boldface lying. he truly lives in his own world and has half the country living in it with him. what a scary place to be!

Um, no. I don't think that man is as artless as that. If he were, we would be speaking of a talking pig. No. I think much worse of him; I accuse him, a very savvy, well educated man, of sophistry of the highest degree.

Were you to meet him and call him upon it after his contract for this election has run out he would nod as to an old friend, "We know, we know."

And he is right. There are a lot of people with one hell of a lot of money and pull on his side.

i give him that much credit in the real world, but in the world i live in, he's little more than slime

[nokomarie]

But slime of the very best sort and a welcome attribute to any party. I happen to know that these people are often very entertaining and thoughtful raconteurs. I mean they can be the most polite people and be the life of the party out of sheer good manners.

The fact that I do not like their willingness to leap unto the breach of a slow conversation and what have you is nearly past my comprehension. If it weren't for the Jesuits I wouldn't even know what I was floundering at..

Yeah, and that makes him really, really scary.
