Republican strategist Karl Rove called Vice President Biden a "liar" on Thursday, dramatically escalating a feud between Biden and aides to former President George W. Bush over Biden's claims to have rebuked Bush in private meetings.
"I hate to say this, but he's a serial exaggerator," Rove told FOX News. "If I was being unkind I would say liar. But it is a habit he ought to drop."
Rove added: "You should not exaggerate and lie like this when you are the Vice President of the United States."
Biden's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment, although Biden spokesman Jay Carney told Fox on Wednesday: "The vice president stands by his remarks."
Carney was referring to two controversial assertions by Biden, the latest coming Tuesday during an interview on CNN.
"I remember President Bush saying to me one time in the Oval Office," Biden began, "'Well, Joe,' he said, 'I'm a leader.' And I said: 'Mr. President, turn and around look behind you. No one is following.'"
The exchange is purely "fictional," said Rove, who was Bush's top political adviser in the White House.
"It didn't happen," Rove, a FOX News contributor and former Bush adviser, told Megyn Kelly in an interview taped for "On The Record." "It's his imagination; it's a made-up, fictional world.
"He ought to get out of it and get back to reality," Rove added. "He's making this up out of whole cloth."

Ouch!
Quit beating around the bush, Rove. If you had and the rest of your party of castrati had spoken out earlier, we might not have a Kenyan Marxist usurper in the White House. Of course Biden is lying. He's never done anything but lie, starting with his plagiarization of speeches years ago. The Demonrat Party is a criminal conspiracy, not "the honorable folks across the aisle," as your protege G. W. Bush used to regard them.
Why the hell did you wait until you were a talking head for the MSM to acknowledge the corruption of the Demonrats? Shut up and go away.
I say...open your mouth and keep it coming.
Liberal baffoons are masters of creating their own little reality.
I’m glad someone finally said it. It drives me nuts how politcians and spokespeople for politicians will not come out and say someone is lying. They’re always tiptoeing around actually saying someone is lying. Biden is such an idiot.
I agree with you implicitly.

What IS that on the wall?????
. . . or maybe a window in the Resident's office aboard Airforce One.
(or maybe a mockup of the office on AF One)
The Clinton sink?
Zero’s minions lie with impunity. They lie when they don’t even have to lie. This Admin is the Clinton Admin on steroids. If we had a Big Media with a conscience we wouldn’t have a Zero in the White House.
It sorta looks like a latrine designed to let Dumbo pee on his own leg.
Like your analysis. Let’s call them “Delusional Democrats” from now on.
Nothing like being a legend in your own mind.
Re Obama and Roosevelt and the Depression and TV,
“never let reality and the truth get in the way of delusions and ignorance”
President's Office on Air Force One.
Looks like the window of a 747 to me.
The politician's motto! Biden has come out with some real bloopers, we figured Obama would relegate him to a ‘back room’ but he's still out there and doing it again.
