Karl Rove hit the talk show circuit yesterday. I like to think of it as his "Cover Your Ass" Tour. As usual, he took responsibility for absolutely nothing, provided no insight into anything, and showed us that he really is the geeky dolt that he appears to be.
The topper for me, when asked on Meet the Press if the Bush administration owed Valerie Plame an apology for outing her to the press, Rove said, "No." That's it. Just say no. Then he told a whopper: He said that Joe Wilson lied about yellow cake uranium in his now-infamous NYT editorial. Rove is lying!!!!! It has been proven over and over that Wilson was right.
When asked about the firings of U.S. Attorneys, Rove had the "pending in court" line at the ready. Even when asked by Bob Schieffer at CBS why he would torture himself on the talk-show circuit, he blamed it on someone else. Excuse me, someone else made you go on your own goodbye tour? Grow up, you big baby...Geez.
The fact remains that Karl Rove is the sole architect of many of the biggest failures of the biggest failure of a president we've ever had. He thought of the privatization of social security debacle? Do the Dubai ports and Harriet Miers Supreme Court battles ring a bell? Yep, Karl Rove strategy at its finest.
Perhaps the most telling thing about Karl Rove that makes you scratch your head? Curious George's nickname for him is "Turd Blossom."
Here is a great round-up of Rove blogger coverage.
