Karl Rove to Palin supporters: Stop whining about my criticism of her TLC show
Hotair ^ | 11/19/2010 | Allahpundit

Posted on 11/19/2010 8:06:52 AM PST by WebFocus

But … I thought they were friends. Well, acquaintances. Sort of:

She had spent most of her time [on election day] ensconced at the Fox television studios, though she managed to squeeze in a jog in Central Park — which she promptly chronicled on Twitter: “Beautiful!” Also at the studios was her fellow Fox News contributor Karl Rove, who had recently questioned in a British newspaper whether Palin’s new reality TV series, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” made her appear Oval Office-worthy. The building was abuzz over what would ensue when the two would inevitably bump into each other. The moment came after Palin finished a segment with the anchor Bret Baier and saw Rove lingering stageside with Brit Hume, a Fox colleague, holding a well-marked copy of “Alaska for Dummies” — a prop clearly intended to mollify Palin. She laughed, used her phone’s camera to take a picture of Rove with the book, traded brief hellos and then left the studio without mentioning Rove’s earlier comment.

The clip’s unclear, actually. At first it sounds like he’s telling her to man up and stop whining, but then, perhaps thinking better of that, he shifts his aim to her famously devoted supporters. Not the first time this week that a prominent Republican’s accused her of being thin-skinned, either. In the same NYT piece quoted above, Mary Matalin’s quoted as saying, “She gives as good as she gets. But I don’t know her well enough to know if she’s developed the thick skin you need to be endlessly resilient, the way Reagan could take things for decades and let them roll off his back.”

In fact, this isn’t even the first time this week that a Fox News commentator has thrown a few jabs at her vis-a-vis her show. I guess the 2012 primary season really, truly is upon us. Exit question: On a RINO scale of one to 10, with one being Jim DeMint and 10 being Lisa Murkowski, where does this segment leave Rove? (Exit answer: 12.)

Karl Rove would be wise to learn Reagan’s 11th commandment.

Rove: Already, a RINO SOB.

Rove... you’re washed up. Nobody wants you, nobody wants to listen to you. You’re a talking head full of nothing but garbage RINO politics.

Everyone thought this man was the paragon of political one-ups-manship, but he’s really just another “moderate” lapdog.

*spit*

“Go Mitt. Go Mitt. Go Mitt.”


“Rove is pushing Romney so aggressively some folks are beginning to wonder what's going on,” grumbled one veteran Republican strategist.”


“Rove has made no secret of his support for Romney as McCain’s VP. ”

Rove and Peggy Noonan are competing for the title of most irrelevant Beltway Vichy Republican. So far, Rove is winning, hands down.

I saw this last night and it sounded to me like Rove was whining about being called out for his comments. I think Rove should man up herself and stop acting like a misogynistic homo drama queen.

I like Sarah and trust her. I enjoy the program about Alaska and hope to watch all of them.It is a interesting place and there are other things than politics.

Karl Rove did more damage to the conservative movement and to the GOP brand amongst conservatives than any other living person. As far as I’m concerned he’s personna non grata and I switch the channel whenever he comes on.
