Rove: Dowd 'twisted, deranged'

Former White House adviser Karl Rove lashed out at New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd on Fox News Channel Wednesday, saying Dowd was a "nasty, snarky person" with a "twisted, bitter little heart."

"I think Maureen Dowd is a bitter, twisted, deranged columnist for the New York Times who misses no opportunity to show her disdain for the conservative side of the aisle," Rove said on Fox News Channel.

"I actually went to an editorial board meeting at the New York Times and wasted a couple bucks on some flowers to give Maureen Dowd…give her a smile on her face. And that didn't even work," he recalled. "This is a dour, downbeat liberal."

Rove's comments came in response to a quote in Dowd's Wednesday column, about President Obama's leisure activities, in which she took a shot at former President George W. Bush.

"Some respite from the pressure is clearly a healthy thing," Dowd wrote. "Not as much respite as W. took, bicycling and vacationing through all the disasters that President Obama is now stuck fixing — spending a total of 490 days in the tumbleweed isolation of Crawford and rarely deigning to sightsee as he traveled the world."

Though Rove agreed with Dowd's point – "President Obama is entitled to go to New York and entertain his wife," he said – the former White House aide strongly objected to her criticism of Bush.

"Why she felt so compelled to go out and trash somebody who did our country a great service for eight years and handled himself in an admirable fashion – is just typical of Maureen Dowd's twisted, bitter little heart," Rove said. "I admire her writing, but she is a very nasty, snarky person."

She's one of the ugliest people I've ever seen.

So even when he's kinda right he still can't bring himself to be fully truthful.

Truth is just truth.

So per rove, bush did our country a great service and handled himself admirably and he can't understand why someone should show disdain?!?

on the board flowers (typically associated with romance), and then is disappointed when she doesn't smile? Is he really this clueless about how to act in a professional environment?

The fact that anyone (aside from Fox) would broadcast or print anything that that cowardly liar has to say is a testament to how far America has plummeted.

The reason he admires her writing is because they are so much alike, apparently.

I could've sworn he was describing HIMSELF!!!!

feel good from a tongue lashing from King KKKarl. If only Limpy will jump on board and then the whole repug party can defend Georgie-pie's MIA status.

"I actually went to an editorial board meeting at The New York Times and wasted a couple bucks on some flowers to give Maureen Dowd ... give her a smile on her face. And that didn't even work," he recalled. "This is a dour, downbeat liberal."

Talk about holding grudges... maybe she was busy or something... jeez.

I agree with Rove. I can't STAND that nasty woman. MoDo is just a bitter person who not only trashes conservatives, but Democrats too.

x(

to call anyone else "nasty, snarky person" with a "twisted, bitter little heart"(no heart in his case) without holding the mirror up to his twisted asself.

Who caused more deaths?!! And maims and Destructions?!!
