Ingenious!

Here we all thought Karl Rove was bashing Delaware conservative Christine O’Donnell and all along he was just raising money for her senatorial campaign. Karl Rove walked back his attacks on Christine O’Donnell this morning on FOX News.

“My job as a Fox analyst is to call it as I see them,” Rove explained this morning. “My job is not to be a cheerleader for every Republican.”

Rove listed all the reasons he’s said in the past why O’Donnell has destroyed the GOP’s (already outside) chances at a Senate majority — the problems with “honesty” he first mentioned on Hannity, her strange finances, etc — but then made it clear that he’s 100% behind the party’s rising star.

“Look, I endorsed her the other night,” he said this morning. “I was one of the first to do it.”

How about this: if she wins, he agrees to reregister as a Democrat.

Bull!!

Rove damaged his reputation with me. He had a vested interest in this race and took it badly when he lost. He should admit that and then support Christine O’Donnell rather than continue with the tired disproven arguments against her.

the prodigal son comes home, finally.

Too late Karl. You’re right-your job isn’t to be a Cheerleader for every Republican. You just choose the wrong ones for whom to shake your pom-poms. Time for a new career.

Limbaugh endorsed her and asked people to make contributions. Rove wants credit for that after the fact. That doesn't wash. Rove has pissed in his cornflakes. He is making himself irrelevant and just realized it.

Was this really one of Dover Rove's mind tricks?
Bash O'Donnell so the Tea Party can raise money for her and keep the enthusiasm going?

[God'sgrrl]
