WASHINGTON, Nov. 1, 2006 — Karl Rove, President Bush's top advisor, talked to ABC News' Ann Compton about the remarks Sen. John Kerry says were a botched joke about the president, and about Bush's future.
Here is a transcript of the conversation:
COMPTON: Senator John Kerry has made a statement about Iraq. Do you take him at his word that he was talking about the president and not the troops?
ROVE: I take him at his word when he insulted America's fighting forces. This is a habit that he's had over the years. He did it when he came back from Vietnam and there's no way that an individual looking at what he said, which is available on the Internet. Go on and look at yourself. Any American can. This guy was insulting America's troops by suggesting that if you were stupid you went to Iraq.
COMPTON: But he says it was a botched joke about the president?
ROVE: Then he ought to apologize for those Americans fighting on our behalf who thought it was an insult on them. I saw a number of them on the television this morning and it was very clear they took it as a personal insult. He ought to apologize to them and he cannot bring himself to do so this. This is his sort of like his elitist attitude about this. When he came back from Vietnam he slandered his comrades in arms from Vietnam in saying that in the mode of Genghis Khan they raped and pillaged their way across Vietnam. Now, he's suggesting only stupid people are willing to volunteer to fight in our military and go into harm's way in Iraq.

"COMPTON: Is this George W. Bush's last campaign and yours?
ROVE: Well, it's the president's next-to-last campaign. He keeps saying it's his last campaign and I keep saying, Mr. President don't you think the candidates are going want you out on their behalf in 2008? So it's his next-to-last campaign for the president.
COMPTON: And you?
ROVE: I'm focused on this campaign. Let's let the future take care of itself."
John Gibson, on Fox, showed this picture on his show! He said it was first printed in the Army Times.
Gibson was talking to Dick Morris and they showed the new ad that CitizensUnited.com is putting out. I haven't found a link to view it online yet, but the ad is awesome!
