From Think Progress:

Rove accuses Gibbs of sounding like a smart mouth junior high kid

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.


Wise cracking junior high smart mouth Karl Rove said worse than that.

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."



And he is walking around getting credibility from the media while Don
Siegelman is fighting the good fight to keep from going to prison again.

How long does this go on?

2. According to a friend who knows Gibbs' teachers,
they thought he was great when he was in school and are ecstatic that he is press secretary.

I wonder what Rove's teachers thought of him.

9. From what I've read, Rove was a rancid little maggot in a suit back then, too.
Totally bewilders me that anybody gives a flying fig about anything this nasty little miscreant says or does.

5. Karl Rove, the fart stain of the GOP

How small is his soul getting, I just can't imagine.

Oh wait. You have to start with one to take measure of it.

7. Rove shouldn't mention jr high, it might draw attention to his own academic accomplishments. nt

8. Oye
"Unwritten rule that former Pres/Vice Pres's don't criticize sitting presidents"

"Cheney's criticism (of a sitting president) was valid"

These people are insane...

12. Bad somber guys vs Good upbeat guys
Bush always had this cynical laugh like america's stupid smirk. I just thought it was kinda fun seeing Gibbs sneak up behind Chuck Todd the other day. It really breaks the tension. Using Laura Ingrams word choice The big fat idiots at Fox have their tension and hate twisted up so tight, something's going to break at some point. (which occasionally it does with some moron shooting up a church because they were a left wing church.

I'd always considered myself independent and sorta still do, but something around 2004-2005 totally turned me off Fox. I watched Bill O the clown and Isanitty Hannitty avidly. And towards the end it was causing all sorts of mental probs at night. When it dawned on me. The world isn't that bad off. Was sick and tired of Fox's doom and gloom shit and migrated to Countdown eventually. (I have Bill O to thank for that. And his assertion he could arrest anyone who mentioned the show.)

Like having Scott Petersen having his ol media outlet when everyone knows he murdered his wife. Like Oliver North, I'd love to see Karl Rove sucking fumes in jail.

13. Not worth even responding to this criminal turd...
He can eat shit and bark at the moon. Call Gibbs whatever you want on the propaganda network. Look who's talking, dip shit.

That chunky ass hole belongs behind bars.

17. I think Rove is that ugly pimply faced kid in jr high I used to want to throw spit balls at...
its hard to tell because I cant really tell the back of his head from the front...
I would feel bad about that but I can't as I am sure he can't tell his own ass from a hole in the wall if he was backed into a corner using both hands.
Am I bitter about Rove? Yeah, you betcha. I am not real happy about any of this crowd of traitors and liars and ass kissing little sleezeballs that have betrayed my country and plunged this Nation into debt so great I shall not live to see the end of it.
I refuse to watch ANY tv show that sponsers him in anyway, shape or form.
To hell with you Karl Rove and that little bastard you rode in on.
