Wow--that caller to Hannity really started something. Wonder if he's a FReeper?

The past 48 hours are notable for two things, the O'Donnell victory and the Perfect Rovian Meltdown.

They're also notable for two delicious quotes that will live in the annals of history forever:

(Panelist on Hannity's Great, Great...): "The Dems re-elected Charlie Rangel because they like an honest crook."

Bill O'Reilly (shaking his head disapprovingly) on the Factor: "Comedian John Stewart is an arrogant man."

What fun these past two days have been!

Argh! It makes no more sense for Michelle Malkin to take this opportunity to bash the Bush Administration’s handling of Countrywide and Fannie M and Freddie Mac than it does for Rove to bash O’Donnell.

Will everyone please stop already!!!!

We have too many casualties from friendly fire.

Let’s keep the grand objective in minde. Rove is being a complete knucklehead. Like him or not; respect him or not; he has historically exercised reasonably good judgment in terms of supporting the party. He has suddenly taken complete leave of his senses. BUT PLEASE, LET’S NOT LET THIS SPARK A WAR WITHIN THE PARTY.

[drellberg]

I need to add that there are plenty of conservative knuckleheads out there, too. John Bolton and Robert Bork have been remarkably blunt and exceedingly outspoken, and at critical junctures. Some of their criticism of Rove and Bush was and continues to be just over the top punitive.

I am not suggesting that we stifle dissent. Not at all. I think this is the hallmark of a great party. I am imploring Rove and yes folks like Bolton and Bork to take principled stands on specifically defined issues; without attacking the character or broad disposition of other Republican leaders or their policies. The aim should be to frame our dissent as narrowly and as pointedly as possible, using first principles rather than personal attacks.

I am stunned by Rove’s behavior. I deplore it. I can not imagine what he is thinking.

And please, please, please ... Let’s not let this be the catalyst for a complete breakdown in civility and good, principled debate.

Rove and the rest of the rino’s born with a silver spoon up their collective asses do not understand normal Americans. Did you see him talking down his nose explaining ..oh my god she had trouble with her mortgage....egads she took to long to pay off a tuition loan.

[Gritty]

Instead of dwelling on O'Donnell's alleged faults, Rove should be talking about Coons' actual faults,... such as he is a Marxist and has raised property taxes over 25% during a recession.

I'm sure there are plenty of others...

Michelle is just as guilty as Rove...she uses any excuse to take potshots at Bush just like Rove takes potshots at O’Donnell.
