Rove: ‘I Make No Apologies’ For Any Of Administration’s Mistakes Or Lies
Rove: ‘I Make No Apologies’ For Any Of Administration’s Mistakes Or Lies
This weekend at the Aspen Ideas Festival, President Bush’s political adviser Karl Rove seemed incapable of uttering a single honest statement.
Facing a chilly reception from the audience, who “shook their heads and groaned in unison” during the speech, Rove grossly distorted administration’s policies, on everything from Guantanamo to Iraq to the leak case:
On Guantanamo:
“Our principal health problem down there is gain of weight, we feed them so well.” In fact, Guantanamo prisoners are facing a mental health crisis, with over 40 suicide attempts since its opening, including one suicide in May. Some have been so severely tortured that they were treated by “experts in treating torture victims.”
On Iraq:
“80-90 percent of violence in Iraq is due to al Qaeda.” As former Secretary of State Colin Powell noted earlier in the conference, only 10 percent of violence in Iraq is due to al Qaeda. As the Carpetbagger noted, “by all indications, Powell was rounding up.” Now, the mainstream media is buying into the al Qaeda fearmongering, as Glenn Greenwald reported.
“We all thought [Saddam Hussein] had weapons of mass destruction. The whole world did.” U.N.weapons inspectors and prominent members of the international community strongly disagreed with this assessment before the invasion. One weapons inspector referred to pre-war U.S. intelligence as “garbage after garbage after garbage.”
On the CIA leak case:
“My contribution to this was to say to a reporter, which is a lesson about talking to reporters, the words ‘I heard that, too.’” Rove leaked Valerie Plame’s identity not only to Novak, but to Time’s Matthew Cooper. Cooper said his conversation with Rove was the first time he heard anything about Plame.
Despite participating in egregious and illegal wrongdoings, Rove expressed unwaivering confidence in his boss’s decisions. “Look, I make no apologies,” he said.

Well, at least he’s tacitly admitting that they’ve made mistakes and lied to us. I guess that’s a start.
July 9th, 2007 at 2:32 pmOf course not.
July 9th, 2007 at 2:32 pmI expect to see Rove saying the same thing as they put the blindfold on.

July 9th, 2007 at 2:33 pmRove means never having to say you’re sorry.

Comment by Mr. President — July 9, 2007 @ 2:33 pm
Why do you presist in these childish outbursts? They don’t get anybody riled up, they’re nonsensical or delusional and they don’t add to any conversation. This one, for instance, calling for a ticket of Cheny/Rove in ‘08, would be an epic disaster of biblical proportions for the Republicans, guaranteeing a President Clinton or Obama or Gore.
So you can’t actually believe it (but when was that ever a requirement for your posts, Mr. Pee?) yet you still shout it out at inpportune moments.
Is it a form of Troll Tourette’s Syndrome maybe?
July 9th, 2007 at 2:37 pmRove expressed unwaivering confidence in his boss’s decisions. “Look, I make no apologies,†he said.
I think that’s the first true statement MC Rove has ever made.
Rove means never having to say you’re sorry.

July 9th, 2007 at 2:37 pmBush Admin 101:
July 9th, 2007 at 2:38 pmNever admit a mistake.
Never apologize.
When necessary, blame Clinton.
You can fool the 28%’ers all of the time.. Or as I like to call them “Right wing Christians”
July 9th, 2007 at 2:38 pmOf course he makes no apologies, he’s gotten everything he wants, good governance be damned.
July 9th, 2007 at 2:39 pmCHENEY/ROVE 2008!!! We like supporting criminal, murdering liars. I can relate to them, they hold real value when you consider the damage they have done to the country. Those 74%ers are not loyal, they should all move somewhere else.
July 9th, 2007 at 2:39 pmSo we have the president who flips the middle finger to a TV camera to test whether it’s on or not and we have the hideously repulsive sidekick who idolizes him.
July 9th, 2007 at 2:40 pmAnd we have the FOX propaganda machine supporting them both with the pathetic support of the Democrats.
Growing up I knew politicians were corrupt liars But I had no idea the system was so fragile and weak.
I think Rove should be stripped nake and forced to run through Baghbad. If he makes it through, we will assume he is right and god is watch out for him.
July 9th, 2007 at 2:40 pmHome isn’t the place I would tell Rove to go.
July 9th, 2007 at 2:40 pmNext you moonbats will expect him to apologize for blowing up the World Trade Center and firing a missile into thePentagon.
July 9th, 2007 at 2:41 pmPretty sad when a massive audience of right wingers shake their heads and moan at NeoCon talking points.
July 9th, 2007 at 2:41 pmNo apology needed for that. He can just stand trial for it.
July 9th, 2007 at 2:42 pmThe invited Rove to the “Aspen Ideas” festival.
What’s the matter? Didn’t Gobbels have the date free on his calendar?

Reminds me of Dick Nixon in his last years, too ashamed to show his face, died a broken shell of a man. These people are not god’s, they have had their run and they will be universally loathed until their end.
Yeah, you moonbats take that. I don’t care if Bush, Cheney and Rove helped 911 happen, I will follow him into the depths of hell no matter what.
IQ-o-meter = 60
July 9th, 2007 at 2:48 pmRove?? Apologize?? As soon as pigs learn to fly.
July 9th, 2007 at 2:48 pmWell, if you have evidence that Rove did that, then he should apologize. At least.

That’s how Rove thinks of himself….’me made no miskes, me created no errors…’!!
July 9th, 2007 at 2:55 pmYep, he’s still a lying sack of shit. Nothing’s changed there.
July 9th, 2007 at 2:55 pmRove should be in the car with the Cheney family when Dick has that heart attack while driving over the very narrow bridge.

July 9th, 2007 at 2:56 pmRove knows the attention will soon be shifted to Iran. And the 26% will jump up to 60% as soon as Chimpy can get another bullhorn in his hand and wrap himself in the flag again.
Oh, the Good ‘ole Days.
July 9th, 2007 at 2:57 pmThank God for Think Progress. The cacophonic bullshit of Rove and others would continue to go unabated were it not for those who actually give a shit about the truth.
The real question is how does one further educate the masses?? The only way to do this–I presume–is to plan, organize and implement progressive mediums.
Thanks for your passionate pursuit of the facts.
July 9th, 2007 at 2:58 pmAt least the Dems will now completely back down from the idea of leaving Iraq after this report:
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=070709153249.bzbi8lyd&show_article=1

Because we can’t see it when he wipes his feces on the wall, so he has to give us a verbal equivalent. It’s just Mr. President’s way of showing us his “poopie”.
July 9th, 2007 at 3:00 pmI live out here in the bay area and there are several prominent talk show hosts out here who are jewish.
They all almost to a man SUPPORT the neocon agenda.
One said “We cant criticise the neocons after all it is THEIR perspective”.
Hmm……
Okay
So since Hitler was also in power in the 30’s we cant critisize the Nazi philosophy………or as he says…..”WORLD VIEW”.
I disagree with this thinking especially when that “WORLD VIEW” leads into actions which are ILLEGAL.
Karl rove is the puppetmaster……….no wait……….look at the puppet ……..how hard could it be to control a nimrod like bush.
Karl Rove and Cheney run this “regime”……….they are the heads of the shadow government.
Let me ask you all this:When we were first attacked in sept 01 soon afterward Cheney was quoted as saying we would be in the middle east for “50 years”!
July 9th, 2007 at 3:00 pmHow did he know this when we hadnt even identified the attackers?
(allegedly)
“Our principal health problem down there is gain of weight, we feed them so well
Believe it or don’t, this may not be a lie. The body does have a tendency to gain weight (store fat) when there is no excercise or space for activity (i.e. solitary confinement)
“80-90 percent of violence in Iraq is due to al Qaeda.†“We all thought [Saddam Hussein] had weapons of mass destruction. The whole world did.â€
O.K. Let’s see, what did the Coalition of the UnWilling consist of? Roughly 95% of the earth’s entire countries (remember the asinine Freedom Fries) wanted proof because they knew Hussein had no WMD!
“Look, I make no apologies,†he said.
July 9th, 2007 at 3:00 pmWell, how very (c)hristian of you, sir Rove-a-lot! I’m sure the families of the 3500 deceased soldiers would love to hear more of those type of condolences from you, you f’ing moron!
“Our principal health problem down there is gain of weight, we feed them so well.â€
Y’know, people who live in glass houses…..

Anyone would gain weight if they were kept in a small cage with very little exercise, especially if they’re fed low quality food high in carbohydrates. Stress has also been linked to weight gain.

Good question. i say we start sending emails of stories like this to the main News outlets and showing them that there are those of us out here that want to be informed. Pressure on them may bring more of thse stories to the Nightly News broadcasts.

You’re missing the point….this weight gain means we’re winning hearts, minds AND stomachs. This is a positive!

July 9th, 2007 at 3:12 pmHow did he know this when we hadnt even identified the attackers?
(allegedly)
No kidding, this is another crock by Rove. He didnt and couldnt have known that the 911 attackers werent Christian missionaries or Shinto priests.
How many times do we need to get hit by the Shinto savages before we finally recognize them as the TRUE enemies of freedom???
Rove, tell the truth! US out of Japan. Free the ‘Sasebo Seven’!
July 9th, 2007 at 3:13 pmColin Powell believes that only 10 per cent of the violence in Iraq can be linked to Iraq. Even that figure may be inflated as Washington Post reporter Thomas Ricks and Congressman John Murtha have stated that only 2 per cent of the violence in Iraq can be attributable to al Qaeda or any outside forces fighting in Iraq.
July 9th, 2007 at 3:14 pmIt must be tough to be Rove these days. At first it was easy to keep America’s eyes on the illusion — now we have discovered the man behind the curtain. Yet Rove doggedly tries to divert our attention to the smoke and mirrors show.

Thank you, Karl!
July 9th, 2007 at 3:24 pmSo, they finally found somebody, who is in Gitmo, guilty of being a terrorist? Can you link that story. I have been waiting for us to finally catch a terrorist. That would be some of the good news we haven’t heard about? Well, spread the joy. Did they give the guy life inprisonment or the death penalty? I think the death penalty would be ebst, but we know how you republicans don’t want to kill these ones, because that would make them “martyrs.” Personally, I say martyrize ™ them.

Hey Tony, you know the several hundred detainees that were held at Gitmo and eventually let go after a couple of years? Remember how people like you were claiming back then that only terrorists were being held at Gitmo? So, did we let several hundred terrorists go, or were you and your fellow assclowns full of crap? And, how certain are you that the ones who are being held now are terrorists? If they are, why not put them on trial? It should be easy enough to prove after five years of gathering evidence.
July 9th, 2007 at 3:32 pmAlso, one key point which everyone is evading in the discussion of the Iraq timetable …. where is the money going to come from for even what we’ve accumulated in debt to China right now to fund this amoral war??
It might be a good question to ask. The answer is: We have no money for this war. Each month we go further into debt to the tune of $12 billion dollars….no one is asking the obvious question and making a legimate assessment based on our current economic condition.
July 9th, 2007 at 3:32 pmAnd I would like to see everyone have the “experiential test” of all forms of torture before making a clinical judgment about how humane they are under the Geneva Conventions. Let’s begin with the Axis of Evil, shall we…..Cheney, Bush, and Gonzo.

July 9th, 2007 at 3:46 pmWith all the investigations it may come to light that indeed Karl Rove committed treason. If it should be established that in fact that is the case then all he deserves is a blindfold and a cigarette. Make no mistake, however, even when Rove leaves the scene has been busy grooming proteges to carry on his anti-democratic, anti-American work.
July 9th, 2007 at 3:48 pmThe future troubles will come from all the revisionists, who will look back upon Bush, and his cohorts, as a shining example of America. There will be more Rove’s in the future, on both sides of the aisles. make no mistake power corrupts.
July 9th, 2007 at 3:52 pmYou know the Rovinator has to maintain this pathetic facade, inside he’s a scared little boy whose playmates are running away, minus the ones that are too dense to notice the games up. He only knows one way of conducting himself, unfortunately for him once the light of day hits a cockroach they tend to scurry away, much like past neo-con inspired administrations.
Problem is they retreat in to the darkness only to re-appear once again when they can exploit society with fear mongering, lies, divisive politics etc…
For instance here are but a few examples::
Anyway, the list goes on, add to it if you can think of other examples, I know you can.
So Rove is fading….the thing is that there’ll be another re-incarnation of the Neo-Conservative movement, the grand experiment in Iraq failed, their ideas are in tatters, but they’ll regroup and crawl back in to the mainstream once again when the situation allows for it. Another time where the populace needs leadership and not fear-mongering will give rise to another Decider/Uniter who refers to the government as ‘my government’ who instead of uniting and leading us to a more prosperous and peaceful time, divides us and plunges the world back in to darkness, because thats where a cockroach feels most at home.
July 9th, 2007 at 3:55 pmWhat a psychopath. Pretty soon Rove will be muttering these same things to himself while pacing his jail cell.

They divided this country for their political gain, with total contempt for over half of the country.
Well, it’s a pitty that their “permanent right wing base” is now a paltry 26%.
I’m sure these scumbags will be welcomed in Gatlinburg, and a few other truckstops in the South. But they can forget about being welcomed by most of the country.
I hope Rove enjoyed his stay is Aspen. The way that crowd treated him is the way he will spend the rest of his miserable life.

But Rove will have to get in line. Bush will be there. And Cheney. And Addington. And Card. And Libby. And Gonzales. And Goody-Goody Goodling. And a slew of other blindly righteous neo-con Republican fools, who’ve done more damage to our democracy than the Communist or al Qaeda could ever hope for in their wildest dreams.
July 9th, 2007 at 9:41 pmIf things are going so well at Gitmo why has Bush expressed a desire to close it down? Rove can spin this all he likes but the fact remains that Gitmo has undermined our moral authority and leadership in the world. That is why Rice and Gates and in favor of closing Gitmo down.
The violence in Iraq is due to the civil war between the Shiias and the Sunnis. Bush had been warned before the invasion that it would erupt, but he ignored this advice. Al Qaeda related violence is not responsible for the majority of the attacks. This is a civil war we have sent our troops to fight whether Rove likes it or not.
Most of the world was not convinced that Saddam had WMDs. That is why Powell had to work so hard to try to convince the international community based on falsehoods. He failed to do so, because China, Russia, France remained unconvinced. Bush in the end chose to invade Iraq with a poorly formed coalition. In the end he only found support with Britain and other low profile countries.
Rove did more than just talk to a reporter. He outed Valarie Plame’s covert identity to the press. While he may have not been charged with a crime he was definitely involved in it. That is why he testified 5 times before the grand jury in the Libby case. He and 6 other members of this administration leaked her name to get back at her husband a vocal critic of this war.
July 9th, 2007 at 9:56 pmLying, corrupt, crooked, perverted, drug-induced, hypocrite Rove: Today he is Olbermann’s WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD!
July 9th, 2007 at 10:21 pmWhat’s more, Rove had to head back to the Grand Jury to change his testimony FIVE TIMES… in other words he lied there, too, but got a pass…
July 10th, 2007 at 1:05 am“Despite participating in egregious and illegal wrongdoings, Rove expressed unwaivering confidence in his boss’s decisions. “Look, I make no apologies,†he said.”
What illegal wrongdoings? Has Rove been charged with doing anything illegal in any court of law anywhere in the world? No?
If that changes, we’ll talk.
In the meantime, all you nay-sayers are just spouting more useless, idle chatter. But it’s good for a laugh.
Really, you ought to get out and enjoy life!
July 10th, 2007 at 3:08 amOh, is that criminal mastermind still out on the loose?
Will they ever find and capture him?
Rove, I mean. Osama too. And Rove.

In some cases we even force-feed them!
July 10th, 2007 at 8:49 am40 percent have tried to commit suicide at guantanamo? If they were free they’d all be suicide bombers anyway … By the way, were does he say he lied other than in the title of this cruddy piece (which isn’t in quotes)?
July 10th, 2007 at 9:44 am“Look, I make no apologies,†he said.â€
The classic response of the psychopath…
And whoever above said that Rove has never been indicted for anything has a very short memory!
July 10th, 2007 at 11:11 amWhy is he still walking around? Who cares what he says? He should already be in prison for treason, and committing perjury and obstruction of justice. Democrats in the House Of Representatives! IMPEACH NOW Get Bush Cheney and Rove and the rest of the liars out of our house! NOW before they lie and kill more innocent people! What are you waiting for! They will get us into another war, they are already changing the word from insurgent to Al Queda in the mass media which does whatever they tell it! These guys are so bad they are destroying our nation and the planet.
Help America!
July 10th, 2007 at 11:31 amI actually get a chuckle out of “Mr President’s” “outbursts”.
They come out of the blue and are terribly inappropriate
but that’s the point . . . I think.
I may be wrong but
I believe he is acting as a devil’s advocate trying to
stir things up with ridiculous comments which – as I see it – can only
be meant as jokes.
Lighten up . . . I mean.
July 10th, 2007 at 2:41 pmMr Pee cannot be serious. Can he?
more unsubstantiated trolling:
#112 40 percent have tried to commit suicide at guantanamo? If they were free they’d all be suicide bombers anyway … By the way, were does he say he lied other than in the title of this cruddy piece (which isn’t in quotes)?

If all those no-brainers out there think the cases against Gitmo detainees are such no-brainers, why don’t they pass that, uh, ‘intelligence’ on to the proper authorities?
And, Jonny – the part about lies wasn’t in quotes because it wasn’t a quote. It was TP’s interpretation. Hey, Jonny can read! Maybe someday he’ll get up to the 6th grade and his larnin’ will be complete!
July 10th, 2007 at 3:59 pmdoes anyone else remember the gilligan episode with larry stork where in gilligans dreams he was G I DOUBLE L I G A N SPELLS GILLIGAN: then they’d have him look out the staged window where everything was rosey, then the other windows where they never let him see showed war poverty abd chaos.

Bush, at the time of the invasion, did not know there were different kinds of Muslims in Iraq; Sunni, Shia, and Kurds.
