Another Brilliant (and calculated) move by Rove.

Rove could have included the FIRST WTC terrorist attack in his comments. What did Clinton do after 1993s WTC attack, he put some old blind muslim cleric in jail. And when one of the terrorist escaped to Iraq, what did Clinton do? He ASKED iraq to extradite the guy back to the U.S.

It’s like the Republicans talking about which party is better at spending money on education programs. It’s not in their circle of credibility.

You sure about that one?

[markman46]

some one should make this the new seal of the demoRAT party

[An Old Marine]

More and more I wonder if Rove is the "Darth Vader" manipulator that the left always accuses him of being. Its as if the leftys are determined to see if they can completely ruin any chances of ever winning an election.

[rwfromkansas]

Perhaps, but eventually something will help the Dems.

The GOP can't keep winning elections every time and not lose eventually.

That may be 2006.

White House Defends Rove 9/11 Remarks After Dems Demand Apology

The White House is rejecting Democratic demands that Karl Rove apologize for saying liberals meekly offered "therapy" for the terrorists as a response to 9/11.

Press Secretary Scott McClellan says President Bush's top political adviser was just "telling it like it is." Rove delivered his blast a few miles from Ground Zero in New York, at a Conservative Party dinner, he said liberals sought "understanding" for the attack and Democrats called for "moderation and restraint" while President Bush saw it for what it was: a declaration of war.

McClellan says Rove wasn't getting personal, just describing different philosophies.

Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean calls Rove's remarks "divisive and damaging." Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid says Rove should apologize, or resign.

At a Senate hearing on Iraq, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton called on military leaders to "immediately repudiate" what she called "an insulting comment."

[My2Cents]

LOL...we're all sorry.

[My2Cents]

Suggested Rove response --

[pieces of time]

The RATS don't see the irony of condemning a political operative who calls them for what they are, while they stand by a Senator who insults our Military to the world. Lesson: you can defecate on the President, the Sec. of Defense, the Military, but don't dare call a Democrat a Democrat!

Didn't bill clinton appoint an Apology Czar?

You know, I think you're right.

However, that was only to apologize to other countries about the existance of the US. Sort of the CIA of apology agencies.

I'm thinking internal, here, like the FBI.

[My2Cents]

By the way, has Sheets Byrd ever formally apologized for implying that Republicans in their promoting the nuclear option on judicial filibusters were acting like "Nazis"?

[eureka!]

Another thing comes to mind: THE 'RATS ARE NOT DENYING THAT IT IS TRUE. LOL...

[My2Cents]

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid says Rove should apologize, or resign.

Does anyone take Reid seriously? What a baby.

[HHFi]

There's getting to be so many demands for apologies, I think we need to create a new Cabinet level Department of Apologies to sort all this out.

The Dems remind me of my first wife: constantly demanding apologies for things when I had no idea what it was I had supposedly done to offend her, then beyatching that the apology didn't sound "sincere" enough (of course, it didn't: what coerced apology for an imagined offense could possibly be "sincere"?)

Note that I call her my "first wife." I eventually divorced her the way most thinking Americans are rapidly divorcing themselves from the increasingly-more-deranged and impossible-to-live-with Democratic Party.

[pieces of time]

Democrats don't apologize for their words, they just say they are sorry we, the commoners, were offended by those words.

You voted her off the island?
