In reply to the discussion: Karl Rove under fire [View all]nc4bo
(17,651 posts)25. Couldn't get past "The call was civil" Hahaha....oh really.
If I spent the kind of money these pos spent, I would be many things, civil would be at the bottom of the list.
Nothing negative, no recriminations, or blame?! Republicans lie about everything, they deflect. I don't believe any of the money bags weren't irate and wanting a piece of Rove's scalp! I certainly don't believe anything Politico says or spins.
Donors werent saying anything like, Hey, you dumb son of a b, added Hubbard, who has donated to both the Rove-conceived American Crossroads super PAC and its secret-money nonprofit affiliate Crossroads GPS. It was all very businesslike. It was as if you were in a business conference and you were a retailer and why didnt this product sell better?
On the call, some donors even told Rove, Im glad I gave to you. I feel we made progress, recalled Hubbard. Every quarterback, every coach doesnt call every play 100 percent right, he added. I dont know how youre going to blame him. What are you going to blame Karl for?
No, not buying it. These folks didn't get what they paid for and spents a boatload for their golden tickets.

rove's chief talent and most saleable quality is his capacity for self-promotion.

Karl is proof positive that chickens with their heads cut off can still run around causing trouble.
