"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

I flat-out don't believe this comment was made.

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.
