Here is audio of Karl Rove talking to Laura Ingraham where he blasted Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee for their recent comments characterizing the Bushes (George H.W. and Barbara) as elitists, and bluebloods. Palin used the term bluebloods after Barbara Bush said in an interview she hopes Palin stays in Alaska.
Rove was asked what he thought about Palins and Huckabees remarks, and he flatly said it was unnecessary. Rove said Barbara Bush is entitled to her opinion and she deserves respect. According to Rove, Palin would have been far better off to simply say she loves the former First Lady and move on.
Laura Ingraham came to Palins defense, telling Rove that the point of Palins remark is that the elitists dont want Palin to run.

So, Barbara insults Palin and Palin is supposed to tell her she loves her and move on. What she should have said is “That blue blood apparently has settled in her brain and turned her hair blue.”
I never did like any of the Bushes. I rallied behind W during the recount and have grown to dislike him as much as I disliked his “read my lips” daddy.
Who came up with “Tokyo Rove”?
That’s priceless!!!!!!
I can’t wait for the video of (insert name of Palin-supporting pundit) slamming Rove for slamming Palin and Huckabee for slamming the Bushes.
IMHO he is right here. It's not that Barbara didn't start it with an acerbic comment. But I can imagine if Reagan had dealt with the same comment, he would have smiled and said something about the irascible elderly women who say things and we love them anyway.
I had the same problem until I turned off my radio at 3 EST and television at 9 EST...works like a charm. No Rove...it's rather refreshing.
If the big mouth pro-abort Barbara Bush is going to shoot her mouth off..then she better accept blow back...ya want back in the arena Barbara???? then take your beating like a good pol instead of sending out your HAS BEEN hit man Rove...
If Palin had said something like Reagan Rove would have condemned her for trying to sound like Reagan.
Hey Karl, perhaps it’s the ‘former first lady’ who should have said ‘I love her’ and moved on. Gosh, THAT would never occur to you. Would it Karl?
A FReeper.
Obama is merely Dubya on steriods...
I’d say to Mrs. Bush...you can be the “Queen Mum” of the GOP and be off-limits to political attacks, or you say stuff like you just said. You can’t do both.
If Barbara Bush wants to run her mouth then she can take her licks.
Hey, Carl, the truth hurts.
Ask Juan Williams.
Stupid remarks like yours and Ms. Bush do not deserve respect.
Anyone knows you don't "deserve" respect based on some past or current position, you must earn it. You can resect opinions or you can respect an office, but people must earn it. Although generally Mrs. Bush has in the past, her and her Mr Rove's recent assault on the "current" wannabes don't deserve it. Why don't they take George W's lead and just mind their own business. At least GW is right on this account.
Am I the only one around here who remembers a thread than ran daily for 8 years that practically worshipped the Bushes? And that any who dared utter ONE WORD of criticism on that same thread would often be sent to the cornfield?
I wonder how many of those who policed those threads are jumping all over the Bushes now. Guess they don't mind a little egg on their faces.
Get a grip, people...these are only POLITICIANS...they aren't GODS. No more and no less!
So, lets hash it out NOW rather than DURING THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION when all the marbles are in play.
