Rove Hits White House For Thinking ‘Everything Through From A Political Perspective’
Rove Hits White House For Thinking ‘Everything Through From A Political Perspective’
Yesterday, in a piece that has become a media and right-wing favorite, Politico’s Jonathan Martin suggested that the White House hatched the strategy framing Rush Limbaugh as the face of the Republican party.
Interviewed on Fox News yesterday, Karl Rove strongly objected to the recent focus on Limbaugh. “Is this appropriate?” Rove asked. “The idea that the White House is devoting all this time and energy and effort when we’ve got all this myriad problems facing the country.” “They’re trying to draw attention away from the things that the country wants to talk about,” he quipped. Rove criticized the White House for allegedly engaging in “old style politics” that elevates politics over policy:
ROVE: And it’s clear that this is — that this is the same old style politics that we grew to really dislike in the 1990s, when the White House thought everything through from a political perspective, road-tested it by running polls and focus groups and did everything with a very keen eye towards the politics of the matter, not what was in the best interests of the country.
How does this serve the country for us at this point when we’re discussing these big, vital things like the budget and health care and the stimulus bill and the omnibus spending bill – how does it well serve the country for this little sideshow concocted in the chief of staff’s office in the West Wing? Not very — not very useful.
Watch it:
Rove’s newly-discovered moral highground is laughable. Indeed, it was Rove concocting “side shows in the West Wing” during his time in office. Rove oversaw the politicization of nearly every aspect of Bush’s federal government, from the Justice Department to the EPA. Rove convinced President Bush to outlaw embryonic stem cell research, helping curry favor with the GOP’s evangelical base.
What was Rove up to in the 1990s? Indeed, he was involved in “old style politics that we grew to really dislike.” In a 1996 campaign for Arkansas Supreme Court, Rove printed flyers that “viciously” attacked his client’s opponent’s family. President Bush’s 1994 gubernatorial campaign, on which Rove was a top adviser, featured an infamous push poll hinting that opponent Ann Richards was a lesbian.

Did Rove see how this would play with his evangelical pawns prior to making this claim?
March 5th, 2009 at 5:41 pmPURE projection. The Bush administration had no policy arm at all ONLY a political arm. That was the charge made by one of the members OF the administration when he left. Mayberry Machiavelli’s. Rove was one of the reasons.
March 5th, 2009 at 5:42 pmOh, the irony…
March 5th, 2009 at 5:43 pmWhoa – is Rove reminiscing about the good-old days and the way he and Bushy ran things? This is a page out of his own memoirs.
Rove has spent so much time and effort deceiving everyone else he has now successfully deceived himself.
March 5th, 2009 at 5:47 pmWhy isn’t this obese bastid in jail? Why aren’t all obese bastids in jail. Obese bastids should be outlawed!
March 5th, 2009 at 5:47 pmWhy didn’t lightning strike the blasphemer?
March 5th, 2009 at 5:51 pmRove is obviously still living by his own axiom that the average attention span in this country is about five minutes long. He doesn’t realize that there are many of us whose memories are longer than that.
But I suppose if he was pressed on the issue by somebody pointing out the obvious hypocrisy, he could spin it by saying that he was merely accusing the current team of THINKING from a political perspective, while he and Bushco DID everything from a political perspective.
See the difference?
March 5th, 2009 at 5:51 pmObese bastids should be outlawed!

March 5th, 2009 at 5:54 pmRove studied under Lee Atwater. Both soiled the White House linens, while drowning America in a permanent political campaign.
March 5th, 2009 at 5:54 pmCan we start a fund raiser for poor Ned Beatty. Can you imagine how he must feel?
March 5th, 2009 at 5:57 pmatta boy Rove!…..you keep poking at the hornets’ nest.
March 5th, 2009 at 5:57 pmCan not stand this any longer.
This criminal b@stard, who should be arrested is still up here now spinning this, into a political ploy.
The Bush Crime Family, including Rove, pulled off the biggest robbery and murder in US history…. and we may all go down for it.
President Obama is not stupid… he realizes the gopper terrorists, terrorists because they want our country to fail, will spin this into a racially based attack accusing Obama attacking republicans whites.
March 5th, 2009 at 5:57 pmRove Hits White House For Thinking ‘Everything Through From A Political Perspective’
– - Rove is spinning the public before his Congressional testimony by using the “everyone does it” defense.
March 5th, 2009 at 5:58 pmArchie B,
Wasn’t Bush supposed to be a “Uniter”?

March 5th, 2009 at 6:07 pmArchie B Says:
He didnt MAKE a point. He tossed out a stupid insulting baseless assertion. The fact KKKarl disagrees with Obama doesnt mean he isnt doing policy. It just means KKKarl is a liar and a fool.
March 5th, 2009 at 6:09 pm“Stick to the questions on the deposition, Mr. Rove. If you hadn’t noticed, no one’s particularly interested in your color commentary these days. Save that for the boys down at otb.”
March 5th, 2009 at 6:10 pmThe wedge is deeper than ever
—-
Would you be first willing to show me how and second willing to show me how if you prove that premise it is in anyway a function of the new administration. Thanks I would appreciate that. See if the first premise was provable one would have to be sort of shallow to not think that the causation was the result a a single variable
March 5th, 2009 at 6:10 pmArchie B Says: Way to miss the point, satyam. The point Karl was making is obama is supposed to be all about “change.” Politics as usual in the obama administration.
satyam, obama
Karl
Interesting to see which names get the respectful capitalization. Are you going to whine about me commenting about your post, again, archie?
March 5th, 2009 at 6:10 pmIn Rove’s defense, maybe he’s arguing that policy has no place in the Whitehouse and it should all be about the politics.
March 5th, 2009 at 6:10 pmAftermath strategy: Attempt to evade accountability by accusing the succeeding administration of doing the exact same thing you’ve been doing. Setting the differing administrations as “equals” waters down your own corrupt activities.
In other words, if the new administration cleans bread crumbs off the counter, accuse them of stealing a loaf of bread.
March 5th, 2009 at 6:12 pmArchie B Says:
I believe obama ran on “the party of unity” platform. Well, one of his many platforms. The wedge is deeper than ever.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
That may be true but not because Obama didnt try. He DID reach out to the GOP who acted like the spoiled children they are. No one I know expects miracles from Obama. He can only try. When YOUR side elects some grown-ups to Congress perhaps there will be unity but compromise doesnt mean the guys who WON THE ELECTION should unite behind the GOP’s previously stated positions.
March 5th, 2009 at 6:13 pmPoor archie assumes that we care whether or not we are appealing to him or not.
March 5th, 2009 at 6:13 pmArchie B Says:

And the republicans rejected his offers. The repubs have dug this hole and they keep digging. If you don’t want people to talk about rush being your leader, maybe you should stop goosetepping in time with the 20 million moran march.

March 5th, 2009 at 6:17 pmThat’s OK because they’re going to give him a condom that’s way too big for him.
March 5th, 2009 at 6:18 pmArchie B, folksy and polite means nothing when you’ve got your hand in your pocket pressing ‘detonate’.
Plenty of change is coming out of the Obama administration for someone who’s been in office not even two months.
For future reference: Fellow progressive or right-wing troll, criticizing Obama through defending Karl Rove is not going to win you any points.

You people are stupid. Rightly so according to YOU but your side LOST the election so it seems pretty clear that you LOST the argument. As long as you think the word compromise means doing things YOUR way that wedge will keep getting wider as the relevant part of society leaves you behind. Then you can keep whining that Obama is the problem.
March 5th, 2009 at 6:19 pmOkay, this thing’s going nowhere, the fix is in.
Let’s get back to the memos, it sounds like there is more potential for an actual investigation there.

You do realize that Archie was the butt of the jokes, right?
March 5th, 2009 at 6:20 pmMeathead…
Archie B Says:

Rightly so.
so you agree that President Obama (try saying that archie) tried and was rejected. So what’s the problem, Meathead? If your boys want to hold their breath until they turn blue, it’s not President Obama’s (man that sounds nice) fault.
March 5th, 2009 at 6:22 pmHe can talk all he wants from his jail cell very soon.
FTR
March 5th, 2009 at 6:22 pmarchie really has nothing to say. it’s all as empty as his head.
The majority of Americans agree that Obama has reached out to Republicans. The only wedge here is the pathetically tiny one Rove and Limbaugh keep trying to use, using little drones like you to repeat their message verbatim.
More importantly- Rove’s hypocrisy and crimes should be dealt with accordingly. I honestly think I’ll have to throw a party if I ever see the image of that man in handcuffs.

And please, instead of running a photo of Rush or Karl, start using an icon. For Rush Limbaugh (that icon of the Republican Party) a beached whale comes to mind. I’m just tired of looking at his face. Ditto Karl Rove . . . for him you could substitute a sketch of Gollum from the Lord of the Rings.

Do this, tell your family to do this, and all your friends.
March 5th, 2009 at 7:41 pmThat is just laughable – if ever there was an administration that put every issue through the political meter, it was Bush, with the advice of Rove at every turn.

March 5th, 2009 at 8:09 pm“The idea that the White House is devoting all this time and energy and effort when we’ve got all this myriad problems facing the country.”
Except that the White House has had very little to do with this whole thing. President Obama made one small remark about “listening only to Limbaugh” and Emanuel made one remark. Gibbs has said a little more since he keeps getting asked questions about Limbaugh at the daily briefings.
The majority of the story has come from the Republicant’s hanging themselves with the rope that the Obama Administration handed them.
March 5th, 2009 at 8:11 pm“Is this appropriate?” Rove asked. “The idea that the White House is devoting all this time and energy and effort when we’ve got all this myriad problems facing the country.”
Is it appropriate for Republicans to hope Obama fails just because they disagree with his policies? His a@# needs to be thinking about his testimony before congress soon instead of worrying about what the White House is doing. You mind YOUR buisness and Obama will mind HIS!
March 5th, 2009 at 8:24 pmI realize you are correct, Bilbo. Obama made one comment. Emanuel made one comment. Gibbs has said a few things and nearly all have been in reply to a question from the press.
All the brouhaha has come from repugs and pundits.
March 5th, 2009 at 8:26 pmThey’re trying to have it both ways—Rush is their leader and Rush isn’t really their leader(Obama made that up). I really want to see the grown-ups spank these delinquent children.

Hmmmmmmmmm…nothing new here.
March 5th, 2009 at 9:01 pmIt seems to me that the Republican party has finally boiled down to a collective of misfits. America now needs a new party to take the place of the Republicans, wow what a concept! What do you do when you loose your dancing partner after all these years?
March 5th, 2009 at 9:14 pmAnyone else get the occasional feeling that Rove is triple-dog daring the entire rest of the nation to punch him in the junk?

Mr. Rove,
Except for the part about road-testing by “running polls and focus groups” (because Bush did not care what the American people thought), everything you describe was your entire job at the Bush White house! Including, nay especially, the part about what you did not being in the best interests of the country.

Rove is a fine one to be talking about policy being driven through the prism of politics. Rove, in fact, should be embarrassed by his nickname of “Bush’s brain”. A brain that drove Bush’s approval rating into the 20% range. Turdblossem is more like it.

March 6th, 2009 at 12:31 amRepublicommunists like Rove…are so full of themselves that Reality escapes them. Let’s use 9/11 to highjack the Constitution so we can create a dictatorship. Wow Rove…I hope you really tick off Obama so he can sick the Justice Dept. on You…We really need a special prosector.
March 6th, 2009 at 1:02 amRove is wrong. The White House has not given undue notice of Limbaugh. We have, out here. It is a real pleasure to watch the dog and pony show of the Republicans. They have given all of us so much ammunition. Like a gift that keeps on giving.
And for Rove, a criminal scum bag to try and find the high road for himself, it boggles the mind. And to think anyone other than Fox would still be interviewing Rove, or Gingrich or DeLay, says volumes about what continues to be wrong with the main stream media. It also illustrates why news and news sources continue to implode.
Limbaugh is the Republican Party. They defer to him, praise him, and kiss his ass first then his ring. Of course he is noticed. When they continue to hoist him on their shoulders as the only example they can get behind, they prove the point. Eisenhower, Goldwater and even Nixon would be rolling over in their graves and if they were not already dead, they would die of shame.
This is no party. This is a parody of a relevant, substantive organization. Comedy Central here they are.
March 6th, 2009 at 2:10 amRush is the punch line in a Monty Python skit . . . armidillo on Texas Highway . . . splat . . . Oh my, did we hit something? Screech . . . I’m not dead yet . . . I wanna debate Obama. No hun, we didn’t hit anything. Road kill. But I’m not dead yet.
Hun, do you want to listen to the Greatful Dead or The Killers? and so it goes . . . (buuuttt, I’m not dead yet . . . .)
Dust in the wind.
March 6th, 2009 at 2:25 amWay to miss the point, satyam. The point Karl was making is obama is supposed to be all about “change.” Politics as usual in the obama administration.

Rove is kinda like the Mother-of-all-Trolls;
(falsely) accusing Dems of doing the very thing the Reich-wing does ad infinitum. That’s their strategy- to enrage us, put us on the defensive, and control the message. And since they all march in lock-step, from party leaders to media figures to their too-dumb-to-realize-they’re-being-lied-to constituents, the lie becomes reality to them.
I guarantee you this ridiculous assertion becomes the hot topic for days- “Is the White House playing politics instead of working to solve the financial crisis?” and crap like that will be argued about on nightly news, I can just see it now.
And in the meantime, Obama will continue to deal with our problems- the problems created precisely due to the fact that Dubya and Rove did nothing BUT play politics for eight long years. Mission Accomplished? Thanks guys!
March 6th, 2009 at 2:32 pmOh Please…Can’t we just move on? Who the hell cares what Karl Rove thinks or says..Really.
March 6th, 2009 at 5:39 pmIt has been a great week!
March 6th, 2009 at 8:06 pm1.) The dollar is “suprisingly stong”; the world is buying
the greenback”. I think that translates into “Obama
confidence”. Confidence in the path we are on.
2.) Speed of the stimulous package, getting the money on the
table while the getting is good.
3.) The Ditto heads are screaming so Obama may just be on the
right path.
4.) The RNC has a new leader. Well spoken, articulate and a
force to be reckoned with. The Republicans are a
wonderful bunch. They can add Rushes’ name to the list
of prominent GOP leaders. Dick Nixon, Joe McArthy.
Rushes performance was flawless, maybe a little
overmedicated.
5.) I feel a little sorry for the ditto head senators and
house members. Can’t have a thought of their own.
Wonder how this will translate back on the home turf.
The Obama people have a lot to smile about and they don’t
have to work at it. It is still hard to stand by and
watch people shoot themselves in the foot. Such ashame!
Karl Rove…….you are irrelevant. You, along with your fellow criminal political operatives, drove your entire party in to irrelevancy. Would it not now be wiser to STFU??
