Rabid right-wing dogfight: KKKarl vs. the Wasilla Wolf Killa

[marmar]

WASHINGTON -- GOP uberconsultant Karl Rove lashed out at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) on Sunday, mocking her decision to leave office early. Rove's criticism was a response to comments Palin made at the Conservative Political Action Conference in which she suggested the poor performance of Rove-backed candidates in the 2012 elections indicates that Rove should get out of the political consulting business.

"If these experts who keep losing elections and keep getting rehired and getting millions -- if they feel that strong about who gets to run in this party, then they should buck-up or stay in the truck," Palin told CPAC Saturday, referring to Rove. "Buck up or run. The Architect can head on back to the great Lone Star State and put their name on some ballot –- though for their sakes, I hope they give themselves a discount on their consulting services."

Rove pushed back in an interview with Fox on Sunday.

"I'm a volunteer and I don't take a dime with my work from American Crossroads and pay my own travel expenses out of my own pocket and I thought she was encouraging volunteer grassroots activity and I'm a volunteer," Rove said. "Second of all, look, I appreciate encouragement I ought to go home to Texas and run for office and, it would be news if I did to have her support. But I don't think I'm a good candidate -- a kind of balding, fat guy. And second, if I did run for office and win, I would serve out my term and I wouldn't leave office midterm." ...................(more)

1. Karl and Sarah, sitting in a tree, D-I-S-S-I-N-G

Don't know why, but that little, slightly modified kiddy ditty just popped into my mind.

2. GO GO GO! Keep fighting!

Tear it down from the inside

3. I think I might like Karl personally...

...but could never reconcile his political views. His self-disparagement ("I don't think I'm a good candidate -- a kind of balding, fat guy&quot is refreshing for a conservative.

That said, after 5 minutes of charm, I'd be screaming at his defense of the Bush years.

4. Ever seen hippos fight? That's the thrilla in Manilla.

5. It would have been so great to have had Palin running last year. Seeing people from

her own party tearing her a new one would have been priceless! She wouldn't have been at CPAC had that been the case. Either not invited or she would have turned them down. I don't imagine their would have been much demand for her from the baggers either.

6. Oh, Karl. I hope you can withstand an imminent ghost-written Facebook slap-down.
