Karl Rove loses it after Fox guest calls Chris Christie report a ‘whitewash’

“I grant you that this does not exonerate him,” Rove remarked. “But I think you’re missing — this is part of a process. And now we have a third party that has looked at all this information and gushed it out!”

“It’s not a third party!” Fournier observed.

“Yes, it is a third party,” Rove shot back.

In conclusion, Wallace noted that Rove, Strassel and Fournier were the “least collegial panel I’ve ever seen.”

Trying to boost his Christie's attorneys by calling them Democratic prosecutors means nothing when they are paid $650 an hour. Pay me $650 a week and I'll contort some statistics to back some ludicrous claims.

And in the position was the most important reporter in the country.

I consider him a hack. I wrote to him in the run-up to the Iraq war and asked him why there was no reporting on the conflict of interest between the Bush family's Carlyle Group (largest military contractor) and W's ability to order troops to battle.

He wrote back and said that he had never heard of the Carlyle Group.

Disgusting.

The advertising writes itself. "Another...Bush? What could possibly go wrong THIS time?"

The name is toxic enough even this long after that I don't think we have too terribly much to worry about.

the report exonerating Christie will be referred to exclusively as the "Whitewash Report".

I think that Rove knows that Jeb has too much baggage due to his last name and that the only other candidate acceptable to the GOP money types is Christie

yet.

Christie was in one of my dreams last night.. In this dream I was back in NY.. I had gone to the library because I couldn't sleep, I was in my pjams and robe; sitting in a chair reading whereas Christie was across from me dealing with some lawyer. I looked at him and said: "Fucking Christie".. and he said "What Did you say?!" I said, "Fucking christie".. he started blowing smoke out of his ears and huffing and puffing.. literally!

Funniest damn dream.
