Why Rove shouldn't be 'throwing any stones' at Obama
Why Rove shouldn't be 'throwing any stones' at Obama
David Edwards
Published: Friday April 3, 2009

Thursday night, MSNBC's David Shuster pointed out the hypocrisy of Karl Rove's latest Wall Street Journal column. Rove suggested that President Obama was misusing the power of his office. "Team Obama wants to remind its adversaries it has plenty of power, and it does. The question is whether the White House will wield it responsibly," wrote Rove.

Shuster accused Rove of having a double standard. "Karl Rove is concerned about wielding power irresponsibly? Karl, you mean like outing a CIA agent?" asked Shuster. "That‘s what you were involved in."

Shuster added, "Joe Wilson pointed out that the White House misled the American people in the run-up to the Iraq war. And you, Vice President Cheney, and Scooter Libby felt the need to smear Wilson. And in so doing, you helped blow the cover on Wilson‘s CIA operative wife."

"Karl, it must be so frustrating to be reduced to writing columns and pontificating on Fox News," Shuster mocked. "Nonetheless, given your actions over the years, when you whine about the Obama White House possibly playing politics, that‘s hypocrisy. And it‘s wrong."

2. Because BO would give Rove a serious case of whoop-ass.
Go ahead, Karl...make his day. :spank:
