Rove Hypocritically Accuses Gibbs Of Sounding ‘Like Some Wise-Cracking Junior High Smart Mouth’
Rove Hypocritically Accuses Gibbs Of Sounding ‘Like Some Wise-Cracking Junior High Smart Mouth’
On Sunday, former Vice President Cheney said that President Obama has already made America more unsafe. When Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked for his reaction to Cheney’s criticisms, Gibbs dryly said that CNN invited the former VP because “Rush Limbaugh was busy,” labeling him “the next most popular member of the Republican cabal.”
Apparently, Gibbs’s remarks were beyond the pale for Karl Rove. Yesterday, on the O’Reilly Factor, Rove denigrated Gibbs, comparing him to “some wise-cracking junior high smart mouth.” “These are real issues,” Rove urged, complaining about Gibbs’s “tone”:
ROVE: What surprised me was frankly the tone of Mr. Gibbs, who sounded like some wise-cracking junior high smart mouth. And it would have been better both for Obama and for the country if Mr. Gibbs had, if he felt it necessary to respond, responded on the merits of the issue rather than, you know, putting such a heavy emphasis on his little sarcastic flip comment. Because these are real issues. These are real issues.
Watch it:
Rove’s holier-than-thou attitude is particularly hypocritical. It is Rove who has launched characteristically sleazy ad hominem attacks on his opponents. It is Rove who is planning to “name names” and single out Bush critics in his new book. And it is Rove who makes “sarcastic flip comments” about his rivals that make him sound like a “junior high smart mouth”:
– Echoing a right-wing smear, Rove called Obama “almost Marxian.”
– Referred to then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) as a “big blowhard doofus.”
– Slandered critics of President Bush as “elite, effete snobs.”
Of course, when Rove called his political opponents “Marxian,” “doofus,” and “snobs,” he was talking about the “real issues.”

Awww, poor Karl, somebody is poking fun at you.
And doing a pretty good job of it.
March 18th, 2009 at 8:05 pm.
And yet KKKarl “MAKE ME” Rove’s thumbing of the House Judiciary isn’t childish?
.
March 18th, 2009 at 8:08 pmI wonder when rove goes before the senate, he is terrible under oath, this is why he squeeled like the pig he looks out to fitz and gave up irving.
anyone notice how much rove, rush and dick all look alike?…inbreeding I am sure
they are also all four letter words
March 18th, 2009 at 8:10 pmWhat is all the uproar over Gibbs’ comments? I for one thought it was refreshing. Way better than the pathetic double-speak every other politician engages in. Think Rove and Cheney are F^ckers? Say so!
March 18th, 2009 at 8:11 pmRove: it would have been better both for Obama and for the country if…
Yeah, about that, Karl… I don’t think the President cares what you think would be better for him, and we sure don’t care what you think would be better for the country.
You had your shot. You fu(ked it up. Big time. So go Cheney yourself.
March 18th, 2009 at 8:15 pmOT — I don’t want to think about the pig, Rove. This is more relevant news.
People get their shorts in a bunch just because Obama brings up a topic — it doesn’t mean he supports it — he means, he wants to have a discussion.
March 18th, 2009 at 8:15 pmThis coming from the guy who sarcastically smirked while on the phone learning George Bush had ‘won’ the 2004 election knowing damn well he and his Thugs stole it in the middle of the night when Americans were sleeping!
I hate him.
March 18th, 2009 at 8:19 pmjealous, karl?
March 18th, 2009 at 8:19 pmSo Cheneys RUDE and over the top bloviating about Obama are fine but for some mysterious reason Gibss was out of line for his mild chiding of Cheney? Is Rove simply INSANE?
March 18th, 2009 at 8:21 pmKKKarl,
STFU. Go the phuck away.
March 18th, 2009 at 8:21 pmThank you, TP for a wonderful example of old school journalism. In your headline you started with Rove Hypocritically…you could have stopped there.
March 18th, 2009 at 8:22 pmWhy on earth does anybody care what Rove or O’Reilly says?
March 18th, 2009 at 8:27 pmGibbs is absolutely correct in his summation of the republic party so far. This why Rove is pissed. No other reason but that. Bah hahahahahaha!
March 18th, 2009 at 8:29 pmAs long as the criminals like Rove are not in prison, the crimes will continue.
March 18th, 2009 at 8:29 pmFunny how Rove can only be seen on Fox. Is Turdblossom to afraid to face people with questions?
March 18th, 2009 at 8:30 pmWith all this mutual masturbation, KKKarl and BillO need to just get a room. And no cameras, please.
Otherwise, just STFU!
PEACE
March 18th, 2009 at 8:30 pmSurely he could get interviewed by John King..He’s a softballer.
March 18th, 2009 at 8:31 pmFunny you should mention that…George Bush had to travel by secret underground tunnel while in Canada recently. Huh.
March 18th, 2009 at 8:31 pmLike going to Mars or gays getting married was a real issue, Karl?

March 18th, 2009 at 8:34 pmYou know you’re in trouble when the majority of Democrats are saying Bush is acting with more class that you are.
KKKarl, Dick, BillO, Hannity and Rush, I’m looking at you!
PEACE
March 18th, 2009 at 8:36 pmSilly question time but since watching news programs on TV either gives me gas or (in the case of Fox) serious cramps, is it my imagination or is Fox taking the lead on Republican idiocy? Is network news actually letting them take the ow ground on the worst of the idiocy?
March 18th, 2009 at 8:38 pm‘twould seem Mr. Rove may be reliving traumatic middle-school experience (swirlies?).
March 18th, 2009 at 8:39 pmAnd the Turd Blossom is mature, soft-spoken, genius journalist?

YES!
March 18th, 2009 at 8:42 pmIt’s “middle school, ” dumbkopf.
March 18th, 2009 at 8:43 pmMaybe Fox should be required to change their slogan from Fair and Imbalanced to Republican Propaganda Network. Or has truth in advertising also been killed?
March 18th, 2009 at 8:46 pm“takes one to know one”?
jeez… this rove guy’s a real piece of work…
and just keeps getting worse…
March 18th, 2009 at 8:47 pmFox news is where all the rightwingnut misfits go to get a job. From the sexual harrassers to drug addics to just the plain ignorant.
March 18th, 2009 at 8:49 pmIf you have a lack of integrety and are willing to spew propaganda without conscience than you too can be a Fox News personality.
They’re basically hiding from the citizens of the planet, which is excellent, because my wish for George Bush on January 20, 2009 was he either go to prison or spend the rest of his days looking over his shoulder! I’m feeling good at least one of my wishes is happening. ;-)
March 18th, 2009 at 8:53 pmIt is Rove who is planning to “name names” and single out Bush critics in his new book.
i heard something about this again very recently… was it shuster? rove answered a twitter (whateverthehellthatis), finally, saying david would have to wait for his book…
darn, i forget the question too… … anyone catch that?
March 18th, 2009 at 8:54 pmRove should know about junior high schoolers because this “genius” is nothing more than a high school graduate out of some third rate Utah high school.

March 18th, 2009 at 9:05 pmYa know, I think Rove is second only to Cheney on the “pure evil” scale. It seems Rove has has his fingers in just about every devious deed performed by the Bush admin. Why would we expect any less from him now? He’s like the pot calling the kettle black. I don’t think there has been anyone in history more prolific at name calling than good ‘ole Turd.
March 18th, 2009 at 9:07 pm#32 Katy
Schuster made a statement concerning Rove’s hypocrisy and had invited Rove on to dispute it. Rove never replied and then one day Schuster gets a tweet from Rove, saying he was in his book.
I don’t know about anyone else but I am very tired of Bush apologists criticizing this administration. Bush doesn’t have to say a word about Obama, he has Rove, Card, Cheney, Fleisher, Perrino, and a ton of others out there everyday.
March 18th, 2009 at 9:09 pmAnd the clusterf@ck turned into a beautiful flower……a Turd Blossom!
March 18th, 2009 at 9:09 pm“the merits” of cheneys statements are so utterly bereft of validity that they almost dont even need to be addressed..we will be greeted with flowers, we know saddam has nukes and wmd, the insurgenecy is in its “final throes”…Karl, if your reading this, please, next time your on tv flapping your yap, please remind us of ONE thing cheney has been right about. EVER. fact is, not only is torture illegal and unconsitutional, its almost invariably counterproductive. we’ve had a high ranking member of the us military saying there was a huge uptick in attacks against our troops in iraq after the abu gharib torture scandal…
IF in the one in a billion chance a ticking timebomb scenario actualy exists, then a jury will find the heroic torturer not guilty, or a president will pardon him. What cheney really wants is for people like him to be able to torture anyone, at anytime..cheney doesnt want torture to be illegal because if its legal under any circumstances, he or people like him can order the torture of anyone without consequeneces…if torutre is illegal and we rely on juries to make the decision as to find “just torturers” innocent, then people like cheney cant order torture at the drop of a hat without having to fear conspiracy charges that a jury would almost certainly not be symptathic to, if the torture was not for good reason and commited against a truly bad actor. Cheney wants to do what the people like John Yoo, who give him legal advice, say he should be able to do..which includes sexually torturing children.
March 18th, 2009 at 9:10 pmIf Mr. Gibbs is a wise-cracking junior high smart mouth then that would make Mr. Rove a spoiled brat potty mouth preschooler. Comparatively speaking, of course.
March 18th, 2009 at 9:10 pmAQ-2,
They have become Bush apologists on the circuit because, in this economy, they can’t find any other work. LOL It pays better than unemployment. I’m guessing we’ll start seeing Alberto out there soon enough, once he figures out there is money to be made.

so, no more slack from me… i take back my ‘thank you’ from earlier.
March 18th, 2009 at 9:18 pmTo get a history of what rove has been up to just listen to his accusations of others. That goes for all of the bushies and bushie pundits. Listen to their accusations. They are really confessions. This is a phase. Soon they will all be weaping so openly it will even impress commander Boner.

Who said tortured was no more than a college prank?
stfu doughboy.
March 18th, 2009 at 9:42 pmFor you Archie…
Dodd’s spokeswoman, Kate Szostak, is saying that the accusation that Dodd included the exemption for the bonuses is false, despite reports on Fox News, the Drudge Report, and the Rush Limbaugh radio show.
“Senator Dodd’s original executive compensation amendment adopted by the Senate did not include an exemption for existing contracts that provided for these types of bonuses,” she said.
The exemption that allowed the bonuses was crafted behind closed doors in a conference committee with top negotiators, including some of the most powerful members of Congress — but not Dodd.

You are so right!
Also while turd is acting like a crybaby (trying to tell a grown man what to do and say, no less) he’s trying to divert from the message.

March 18th, 2009 at 10:57 pmThis coming from a very thin-skinned man…
March 18th, 2009 at 10:57 pmTheir history is clearly written for all to see and yet they still show their faces. I LOVED Gibbs’ response. Such a short response that packed a lot of punch. The use of the word ‘cabal’ is as jolting as it is telling.
I suspect that Cheney is getting in his jabs while he can, before his temporary secret service protection runs out (6 months I believe), and then he’ll really become entrenched in his McLean dungeon. A photo of that place never fails to give me the creeps.
March 18th, 2009 at 11:15 pmI think I understand Rove’s motivation. For years, sycophants told him he was smart, “Bush’s Brain” (not that that is much of a complement). Then suddenly you’re completely freaking irrelevent. The phone is not ringing. What can the poor depressed moron do…get on TV anyway he can, pretend he’s still important.
March 18th, 2009 at 11:17 pmKarl Rove should be thankful that he is not in jail so why is he so filled with hate?

I suspect that like Cheney’s, Rove’s heart is two sizes too small.
March 18th, 2009 at 11:55 pmLeave it to stupid trolls to pick the least defensible points on which to fight their battles. Though, for the life of me, I can’t imagine why they consider being annoying a legitimate debating tactic.
Heck! If the scum from FAUX came out in support of cannibalism, the stupid trolls would start trading recipes for human babies.

Hypocritical?

… I’ve been waiting for your answers to my questions for weeks now. It is you who are the coward. I’m merely keeping you honest.
So please,
What are the redeeming qualities to LYING?
What are the redeeming qualities to USURPING THE CONSTITUTION?
What are the redeeming qualities to TORTURE?
What are the redeeming qualities to WARS OF AGGRESSION?
I’ve asked…
… you avoid.
I’m the coward?
March 19th, 2009 at 12:09 amHypocritical? I’m afraid I must quibble, Zooey.
Rove is fundamentally dishonest and dishonorable. Being hypocritical implies one who, knowingly or not, adopts a position contrary to their stated convictions. Turd Blossom has no position, with the possible exception of kneeling for his masters. And the only conviction he’s likely to realize is in a court of law.
March 19th, 2009 at 12:11 amOh pete, SMACK!
But don’t hold back, tell me how you really feel. ;)
March 19th, 2009 at 12:15 amYou know me well enough, Zooey. We wouldn’t be facing the worst issues of our day if more of us had expressed what we really feel. I, for one, won’t make that mistake again any time soon.
March 19th, 2009 at 12:29 amYou know it, pete.
We’ve been polite for too long, taken the high road for way too long — it’s time to speak out. Way past time…
March 19th, 2009 at 12:33 am“These are real issues,” Rove urged, complaining about Gibbs’s “tone”:
March 19th, 2009 at 12:45 amYes, the issue of Cheney not yet arrested for his crimes against humanity is THE issue.
John Kerry Says:
That’s exactly what this slob Gibbs sounds like!
This whole administration is completely crooked –lead by an incompetent idiot (Obama) and followed by a liar Dodd (who, along with Little Timmy G, is responsible for those bonuses), queer boy Barney (who was one of the ones, with Dodd, who is responsible for the mess we’re in!), that wacked out grandma Pelosi who should be sent to Mexico and fed to the illegals!
It is sickening to see the Messiah and the can’t-shoot-straight crooks try and act like they didn’t known about the bonuses! THEY IN FACT DID ALL ALONG and it’s now just coming out!
IMPEACH THE BASTARDS!!!

Cripes dude unplug from the right wing noise machine. If you truly believe that Barney Frank is the sole cause of the financial crisis then you have been drinking way to much kool-aid.
March 19th, 2009 at 12:55 am.
Dear John Kerry,
Are you normally p!ssed at everything or just… as you said,
Bigot much?
Is it that Barney Frank is gay that has you all hot-n-bothered? Why does his sexuality matter to you? Is it the turning point in your argument?
Or are you just the average gay basher?
Please, clean up your act, it’s gotten tired and extremely offensive.
If T.P. had an uber-flag…
… I would have shoved it up yours long ago!

March 19th, 2009 at 1:23 amSince the moronic trolls brought it up; why is the Reichwing hate machine defending the AIG bonus babies?
March 19th, 2009 at 1:45 amThe relevant question, O stupid troll, is not how many watched, it’s “who watched”?
Answer: The same dead-enders who got trounced in the last two election cycles. The radical cultist who have so divorced themselves from reality that they see no other path than to move farther into the fringe of society.

Dear Archie B.
So gay bashing is defensible?
… Got an answer on any of these redeeming qualities you go to bat for?
Because at this point, your non-answer(read coward) to the ethos to defending these indefensible attributes points to an extreme anti-patriot tendency. You’re appearing as if you’re cheering on the demise of America…
… You know, a Loyal (R)ushpublickin’.

March 19th, 2009 at 3:30 amIf anyone would know about wise-cracking junior high smart mouths, I would lay my money on Karl Rove. I believe Karl may have been one of those guys the gym coach hung out of the third floor window just to scare him.
March 19th, 2009 at 4:07 amHey Archie B, according to Glenn Beck, the AIG criminals should be able to keep their bonuses because ‘it’s the law’ and Glenn Beck practically soaked his microphone telling his listeners how much he loooooooooooooooooooooves the law.
“Let them keep their bonuses! They have to eat too!”, squealed the Capitalist Pigs all over America!
So, with that in mind, you must be happy that the Treasury pressured Dodd to take the amendment out, huh? Even Rush Limbaugh is ecstatic that the criminals still got paid for the crimes they committed!
March 19th, 2009 at 6:57 amThe AIG bonuses were first hashed out in the spring of 2008 (under George Bush/Henry Paulsen). In Sept/Oct 2008 (under George Bush/Henry Paulsen), AIG started crashing (AIG is the Head of the CDS Pig and if it had collapsed the whole entire global market would have thanks to the 400 criminals in the Financial Products Unit) and George Bush said, “Save the banks! Send in government money & control!”, and voila…..the bank bailouts were born.
The House passed the first bailout bill.
The Senate ADDED $150 BILLION TO IT, it passed (with republican support of course) and then it was sent back to the House.
It passed in the House.
George Bush signed it. The money started going to AIG and others. AIG already had signed contracts with their criminals already in force, so the first part of the TARP money did not have protections in place to go after excessive pay/bonuses.
The second part of the TARP was signed over to President Obama by George Bush, but there were protections put in it for oversight of these bonuses.
Was it Paulsen who pressured Dodd to take our the protections or was it Geithner? This is not set in stone yet. Dodd is refusing to say and members of the Treasury have not come forward. THERE WERE LEGAL MATTERS TO TEND WITH, meaning, as Rush Limbaugh & Glenn Beck have been stating on their radio programs, the law protects these bonuses. Uh ha.
At this point, it doesn’t matter who took the amendment out, because THERE ARE SO MANY LOOPHOLES that it will be almost inevitable to stop these payouts.
Some of the Pigs who received a bonus from AIG have said they will give theirs back at 100%. So what, BECAUSE THEY’RE STILL WORKING FOR AIG, you know, THE COMPANY THEY DROVE INTO THE GROUND WITH THEIR ILLEGAL PRACTICES THAT WEREN’T REGULATED UNDER GEORGE BUSH.
The republicans controlled the White House, the US House, and the US Senate from 2002-2006 and even John McCain can tell you that when any amendment came to the floor during that time to regulate the banks/subprimes etc, it got laughed at and squashed by the republicans.
Republicans don’t like rules, laws, and regulations no matter how hard they’re squealing today that they do.
March 19th, 2009 at 7:10 amBecause of ALL the loopholes, US Congressman Mike Michaud of Maine refused TWICE TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE BAILOUT BILLS. He said something needed to be done (meaning the bailout was a good idea), but he could not vote in favor of the legislation before him because there were too many loopholes and not enough oversight of those receiving the money.
March 19th, 2009 at 7:13 amRove says Gibbs should have responded to the merits of the issues . . . there is no merit to what the VP has to say – that was the point of Gibbs’ response.
March 19th, 2009 at 8:29 amThe descriptors that Rove used sounds like he was describing his best forever friend… George W Bush. Former president Bush was always making wise crack remarks during press conferences.
March 19th, 2009 at 8:51 amKarl has never forgiven his fellow classmates from junior high who mocked him incessantly for standing up to give an oral report, all the while playing ‘pocket pool’.
March 19th, 2009 at 8:55 amBack to topic:
I appreciate learning about Rove’s hypocrisy, which is nothing new. But I think Bill’O’s phony outrage needs to be countered or we let the right wing flavor the story and create the “frame” as Lakoff says.
Someone should point out that Cheney left office with one of the lowest approval ratings ever so his input resonates with as few people as Rush’s grousings. Hence, Gibbs’ comment was not flippant, but well calculated to irritate the administration’s critiques with truth of their irrelevance.
March 19th, 2009 at 10:07 amIs this Archie B character the troll know as Olby sucks, iwanttosuckolbermann, he is just trolling for his dad Johnny Dollar pay him no attention.
To me it sounds like Rove is just bitter, like Fox News about Obama being president, all they can do is smear.
March 19th, 2009 at 10:23 amGibbs won’t kiss Fox News ass and that is another reason that they are pissed. Rove get a frigginn life.
Hey Johny Kerry,
Do you realize that nobody cares of Obama read off a prompter, at least this president can form a sentence unlike W. who could not form a sentence.
As for Gibbs he is awesome isn’t he?
March 19th, 2009 at 10:52 amJohn Kerry Says:
Gibbs is a real idiot but at least he’s not reading a teleprompter!

jk, arch, backup, doggie,
you are a teleprompter.

March 19th, 2009 at 11:47 amJohn Kerry Says:

At least Obama can use one. When’s the last time you “put food on your family?”
March 19th, 2009 at 11:53 amROVE: What surprised me was frankly the tone of Mr. Gibbs, who sounded like some wise-cracking junior high smart mouth. And it would have been better both for Obama and for the country if Mr. Gibbs had, if he felt it necessary to respond, responded on the merits of the issue rather than, you know, putting such a heavy emphasis on his little sarcastic flip comment. Because these are real issues. These are real issues.
Oh, yes. Indeed. It is in fact a Serious Issue™ as to exactly why Ctheney was invited on CNN to spout RW talking points. Nothing else of note is happening in the world, of course, and everyone is really invested in who should get facetime on Sunday Bobbleheads shows….
Cheers,
