"According to a congressman's wife..."
This needs both source and context.
True.
Unfortunately, even without this gossip the actions of the Washington elite give evidence of this attitude.

ABSOLUTELY
1. It isn't sourced other than "a Congressman's wife". Easy to hide a made-up quote with sourcing like that.
2. Karl Rove is quite aware of the feelings of many in the party on the immigration issue. He is not stupid enough to make a comment like this, because he knows full well it would be reported in the press and used by the anti-Bush people.
Shame on the National Review for having no better standards than the New York Times.
