Rove: Huckabee apologized

Ben Smith

October 28, 2010

Karl Rove told a New York audience today that former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee e-mailed him to apologize for a public shot at the former White House adviser.

Huckabee, in the course of denouncing "elitism" in the Republican Establishment, told WABC's Aaron Klein that he was "disappointed" in Karl Rove's dismissal of Christine O'Donnell.

Speaking to the Heritage Foundation in New York today, Rove was asked about the comment. Per The Nation's Neima Jahromi, whose outlet asked the question, Rove said Huckabee had apologized for the jab.

Rove has become a target for parts of the right since public spats with Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh, but Huckabee has not been a particular ally of Palin's and an aide suggested to me early in the week that he hadn't intended his comment as harsh criticism.

It’s politics, folks. I don’t agree all the time with ANYONE, including Rove and Huckabee (and all the rest of the public faces of the conservative cause).

I don’t even like my own family sometimes.

But, for crying out loud, can we let these people express an opinion without standing nearby with stones in our hands?

Open discussion and airing of opinions is not only healthy, it’s the American way. It’s what we do on FR, and we need to be more tolerant of free speech and diversity of opinion among our pols.

Relax and enjoy our freedoms. And vote.

RINOs need to be purged, or the freedoms you mention won’t be around much longer.

Sarah Palin was on Fox News this morning, PalinTV has the video, and had one message to Karl Rove, “buck up.”

“Well, bless his heart. We love our friends, they’re in the machine, the expert politicos. But my message to those who say that the GOP nominee is not electable, or that they’re not even going to try, well I say, buck up!”

That's it? That's ALL he said? Huckabee felt the need to apologize for THAT? Pathetic wuss.

Too late Jedidah!

The old days of Conservatives turning the other cheek when being hit by Rino or Liberal stones are over.

It is uncomfortable, but also inevitable.

Huckawimp demonstrates, yet again, that he is a two-faced, mealy mouth sissified coward.

Putin would make him wet his pants.

Go ahead. Call everyone who disagrees with you a “RINO,” and lose every election in your lifetime. There are not enough of your clones to win and rule.

Truth. It hurts.

Absolutely.

And it feels good, doesn’t it?

Funny how Huck had to email Rove saying...”I didn't really mean it, honest! Please forgive me”.

Must be he knows how damaging having Rove for an enemy can be.

Rove has a lot of power around town, he can pretty much orchestrate any attack he wants.

Not to say the attack will work, but he can can try.

Huckabee’s a girlie mahn. Now if Rush apologizes I'll be deeply disappointed. Karl Rove should apologize to Christine O'Donnell for his despicable remarks that may have cost her 10 points to start off with.
