(2006-02-27) — Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove today publicly apologized for telling the author of the new book, Strategery, that Sen. Hillary Clinton cannot be elected president because she has “a brittleness about her” that voters don’t like.
“I shouldn’t have called Sen. Clinton brittle,” said a contrite Mr. Rove. “That might leave the impression that she’s emotionally or psychologically fragile and could snap at any moment.”
By saying that the junior senator from New York has a “brittleness about her,” Mr. Rove admitted, “I may have inadvertently caused some people — who don’t realize how much I respect her — to think that Sen. Clinton might be unfit to serve as president, because she’s cold, curt, brusque, negative, tense, aloof, testy, on-edge … you know, brittle. I’m really quite sorry.”
Mr. Rove, President George Bush’s old friend and top adviser, acknowledged that the remark was “over the top” and asked the former First Lady to forgive him “within the next decade or so, if she ever gets over the bitterness of harboring a grudge against me due to my ‘brittleness’ comment.”
Sen. Clinton, asked to respond to Mr. Rove’s apology, said, “No comment,” and hung up the phone.
Funny!
now we can add bitter to the other b words describing Hilliary
I was ready for a good laugh!
“That might leave the impression that she’s emotionally or psychologically fragile and could snap at any moment.”
It might, mightn't it? LOL.
He should have called her "abrasive" or "corrosive".
" — to think that Sen. Clinton might be unfit to serve as president, because she’s cold, curt, brusque, negative, tense, aloof, testy, on-edge … you know, brittle"
That is the funniest thing I've read in ages! LMAO
LOL, I sure don't want Rove every apologizing to me...
So to quote someone on Scrappleface, if you put Jimmah Cahter and Hitlery together you'd get peanut brittle, right?
Just as I was beginning to think how clever Rove was in his "apology", I thought, this is too good to be true. Then I started to look for the source. Once again snookered by that ole Scrappleface.
If only it were true. Well, in fact it IS (and I mean the real "is" here) true!
The best satire and parody always contains just that little kernel of truth doesn't it?
I think you could also subsitute the word "tight-assed" for brittle.
ooooeeeeeeeeee!
You gotta love that come back!
There you go, Hillary, how do you like that?!
Not bad! Good one.
Sen. Clinton, asked to respond to Mr. Rove’s apology, said, “No comment,” and hung up the phone.
She proved Rove's point by not commenting. LOL - Rove had her either way she went.
No, she'll never get over Macho Grande...
Can conservatives please stop apologizing for their remarks!? I't getting a little nauseating.
Mr Rove in all honesty would probably like to bar-b-que Mrs. Clinton and feed her to Mrs algore who eats everything put before her like Jabba the Hut
Sorry.
