Karl Rove... off the record

[Ant]

Karl Rove, President Bush's top political advisor and deputy White House chief of staff, spoke at businessman Teddy Forstmann's annual off the record gathering in Aspen, Colorado this weekend. Here is what Rove had to say that the press wasn't allowed to report on.

On Katrina: The only mistake we made with Katrina was not overriding the local government...

On The Anti-War Movement: Cindy Sheehan is a clown. There is no real anti-war movement. No serious politician, with anything to do with anything, would show his face at an anti-war rally...

On Bush's Low Poll Numbers: We have not been good at explaining the success in Iraq. Polls go up and down and don't mean anything...

On Iraq: There has been a big difference in the region. Iraq will transform the Middle East...

On Judy Miller And Plamegate: Judy Miller is in jail for reasons I don't really understand...

On Joe Wilson: Joe Wilson and I attend the same church but Joe goes to the wacky mass...

In attendance at the conference, among others were: Harvey Weinstein, Brad Grey, Michael Eisner, Les Moonves, Tom Freston, Tom Friedman, Bob Novak, Barry Diller, Martha Stewart, Margaret Carlson, Alan Greenspan, Andrea Mitchell, Norman Pearlstein and Walter Isaacson.

I dunno how reliable this is since it is "off the record" supposedly, but huffington post is the progressive equivalent of drudge and they were the site to break the Karl Rove Plame connection well before it hit mainstream.

I guess snatching articles from another source everyday is safer than ranting which is safer than enlisting.

provided that this is true, i hate to say this, but i think Rove speaks the truth on most things. the Federal government SHOULD have taken over the whole situation with Katrina, and the Anti-war movement IS a joke - it hasn't made any kind of impact since the war has started
