Karl Rove Grants First Post-Resignation Exclusive To Rush Limbaugh
Karl Rove Grants First Post-Resignation Exclusive To Rush Limbaugh
Karl Rove will grant his first post-resignation exclusive to right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh. A press release from Premiere Radio Networks states:
Live on the radio airwaves tomorrow, August 15, at 1:06 p.m. ET, Karl Rove will be a guest on The Rush Limbaugh Show. This is the former Deputy Chief of Staff’s first exclusive interview since his resignation from the Bush Administration.
On his radio show yesterday, Rush lavished Rove with praise, calling him “one of the smartest people you would ever run into” and a “fine, upstanding, cheerful, optimistic person just like the president is.”
With his softball questions and divisive partisan rhetorical attacks on progressives, Rush Limbaugh has made his radio show a friendly forum for the Bush White House. And he has been rewarded for it. While the White House hosted a group of ten top conservative radio hosts earlier this month, Limbaugh was treated to his own private confab with Bush. He described it recently on his radio show in the following way:
The president and I, Ed Gillespie in the room who took over for Dan Bartlett. We had cigars and beverages for a couple hours in the Treaty Room up in the residence. It was so much fun.
Just prior to the November 2006 midterm elections, Bush appeared on Rush’s show to emphasize his call for staying the course in Iraq. Limbaugh has also coddled numerous other administration officials on his show, including Dick Cheney, Tony Snow, Condoleezza Rice, and Donald Rumsfeld. Expect tomorrow’s appearance by Rove to be similarly treated as love fest.

News Flash, rusher: KKKarl isn’t over 2.5 inches, so you are overkilling the practice syck, OK?
August 14th, 2007 at 5:21 pmThe fawning and gushing over each other will be truly horrific. I wonder which one will bend over further to gratify the other. The only amusing thing will be the expansive lying each will do to prove their points. Tom Clancy once said, ‘The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense’.

August 14th, 2007 at 5:24 pmWHO CARES?
August 14th, 2007 at 5:25 pmRove did say he wanted to spend more time with his family.
August 14th, 2007 at 5:25 pmThese neo-nazis are getting more incestuous with each passing day. Perhaps Rush could pass TurdBlossum a few oxycontins for back pain after the “event” as he’s heading out the door to oblivion.

Check this out! Suddenly, Rove has a wife and a son?? I don’t think so.
August 14th, 2007 at 5:29 pmOne site says he married Darby Hickson and they had a daughter, Valerie – another site says he has a son named Andrew, and yet another site says that his marriage is fiction and a cover for his closet homosexuality.
August 14th, 2007 at 5:33 pmno doubt he will be paid $500,000 for the exclusive interview

No, I think some stuffing and gravy to serve along with the bloated Chickenhawk main course will do nicely. Maybe a nice Fume’ Blanc to wash it down with as well.
Neither of these scums would have lasted 30 minutes in my outfit!
August 14th, 2007 at 5:46 pmWow! Look at the size of his cigar? Inversely proportional, I’m quite sure, to….. sorry, that’s as far as I can bear to go.
Spending time with his family? Rove a heterosexual? There must be some mistake.

August 14th, 2007 at 5:51 pmSo, Rove doesn’t want to be asked actual questions. He wants acquiescing interviewing “questions” that allow him to spread his opinion and point of view, unchallenged.
It is obvious he thinks he is above reproach and answerable only to himself, and (maybe) to his Glorious Leader. But then that’s what authoritarian and fascist types usually believe.
And didn’t Limbaugh say he wasn’t going to carry water for people who didn’t deserve it? Well, he either lied, or Rove is worth carrying water for.

I know! But I watch them just the same way I watch billo or ann coultergeist or even listen to the rusher: All are good for a laugh or two, as you see how they distort reality and take hypocrisy to a new level.

August 14th, 2007 at 6:17 pm“as you see how they distort reality and take hypocrisy to a new level.”
Indeed! But I prefer my hypocrisy the old fashioned way…out of context with a Budweiser in hand…which is why I listen to it second hand, filtered via Stephanie Miller. Lends a certain amount of plausible deniability.
Sheesh…off topic again. I promise to do better eventually.

August 14th, 2007 at 7:52 pmThat picture is of Rush practicing for his “interview”. Rush is a bit of an optimist, it would seem.
August 14th, 2007 at 7:53 pmIn the wake of the resignation of Karl Rove, most media post-mortems of the architect of the Bush presidency describe his legacy as one of ultimate failure. That is, in the end Karl Rove fell short of his goal to secure a permanent Republican majority monopolizing all three branches of government for the next generation. Instead, he leaves behind a Democratic Congress and an unpopular, enfeebled President Bush.
But those accounts fail to capture the enduring dark cloud that Karl Rove has cast over the American political landscape. His grim legacy is certainly not about public policy (about which he cared little) or even about winning and losing (about which he cared a great deal). No, the indelible mark of Karl Rove is the permanent transformation and debasement of American politics itself.
For the details, see:
August 14th, 2007 at 7:58 pm“The Base Politics of Karl Rove.”
Faiz – I expect Rush to treat Karl in the same way Amy Goodman treats fellow Leftards……without acfting breathless…
August 14th, 2007 at 8:03 pmHe sure knows how to please that cigar.

August 14th, 2007 at 8:09 pmFUK ROVE and FUK Limbaugh….can you hate these two azzholes any more???????
August 14th, 2007 at 8:22 pm#18 – According to Wikipedia he is married:
“In January 1986, Rove married Darby Tara Hickson, a graphic designer and former employee of Karl Rove + Co. They have a son, Andrew Madison Rove, born in 1989.[6] He is an undergraduate at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Hickson is a breast cancer survivor.”
But that doesn’t necessarily blow your theory that he is gay. Many gays who have prestigious positions have a cover wife (as opposed to a trophy wife).
August 14th, 2007 at 8:26 pmI wonder how hard Rush had to squeeze that cat anyway…..you know, to get that turd he has in his mouth.

August 15th, 2007 at 12:15 amLimbaugh is a racist, sexist and homophobic bigot. Rove has still not recovered from his embarrassing defeat at the hands of the democrats in 2006. His math was wrong.
August 15th, 2007 at 3:15 amOne is certainly judged by the company they keep. Rush is probably a honorary member of the Federalist society. Follow these clowns right back to Washington and Adams and they are trying to relive the first few presidencies to see if they can actually take more power just like Adams wanted. Rush certainly ads some color to their cartoon existence. What did Rush say he was, a constructionist? Is that an amateur Federalist?
August 15th, 2007 at 8:35 amHere is a great article: http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0616-03.htm
August 15th, 2007 at 8:53 amHere is the money quote fo me…
The Alien and Sedition Acts reflected the new attitude Adams and his wife had brought to Washington D.C. in 1796, a take-no-prisoners type of politics in which no opposition was tolerated.
Get ready for a full court press of spin and bullshit.
August 15th, 2007 at 11:42 amEw. Just ….ewwww.
August 15th, 2007 at 12:11 pmRush is awesome. Dude is actually funny as hell if you listen to his show.
August 15th, 2007 at 2:10 pmI can already picture how this interview will go:
Rush: (loud, wet slurping noises)
Rove: “Oh yeah, just like that, Rush.”
On second thought, I’m sorry I gave you that image. But guaranteed, you’ll never look at Rush with a cigar the same way again.
