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 Palin’s and Huckabee’s 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 Palin’s defense, telling Rove that the point of Palin’s remark is that the “elitists” don’t want Palin to run.

Karl Rove is singlehandedly going to destroy the Republican party between now and 2012 if he keeps up this nonsense.

[Lazlo in PA]

Boy, I wouldn't know why Tokyo Rove would be defensive about the Huckster and Sarah hitting the Bush clan?

[GraceG]

Everyone knows they are bluebloods, Palin is just voicing the popular and correct sentiment.

Rove is in a hissy fit because the “Rockefeller Republicans” are finally falling out of favor like they should be and we are seeing a much needed resurgence of Goldwater/Reagan republicans.

GHW Bush had his private secretary write Rove a note probably to complain from the Kennebunkport estate.

Barbara Bush is “entitled to her opinion,” and entitled to throw it out there first - but Palin is not entitled to her opinion or a reply?

[magna carta]

I have no hard feelings against the Bushes but wish they would just stay put in Africa. oh I mean Tanglewood....

Natch

Sarah Palin is entitled to her opinion and she deserves respect, so there, Karl!

[fishtank]

I’m sick of hearing Karl Rove being a guest on Hannity’s show.

Go away Rove, your 15 minutes are over.

[GraceG]

Down with the 3 R’s “RINO Rockefeller Republicans”

[rurgan]

Huckabee is the socialist from Arkansas that did everything he could do for illegals when it was governor.

[Keith in Iowa]

Tokyo Karl is one of ‘em.

He damn near destroyed it between 2000 and 2006.

[Gargantua]

He feels all that power slip-slidin' away...

Poor Tokyo. We hardly knew ye.

“Palin would have been far better off to simply say she loves the former First Lady and “move on.””

BS! I'm glad Palin spoke the truth. Tired of the kissy face RINO crap! Rove, get lost.

[Irenic]

It’s the truth.

[fishtank]

For 2012:

No more Kenyans.

And no more RINOs, either.

[rockrr]

I like rove but he’s way off base here. Sure Ms. Bush is entitled to her opinion - however divisive or stupid. But so is Palin or Huck. By his own logic his comments are equally “unnecessary”.
