Rove says he didn't offer Lieberman Bush's backing
By Steve Holland, Reuters | August 11, 2006

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Karl Rove, the top White House political adviser, said yesterday that he did not offer the administration's backing to the reelection bid of Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, Democrat of Connecticut, in a telephone call Tuesday.

Rove told reporters traveling with President Bush on a political fund-raising trip to Wisconsin that he spoke to Lieberman on Tuesday afternoon, before the votes were counted in the primary, and that he wished him well.

``It was a personal call," Rove said. ``Look, Harry Reid has been at my house for dinner, so I actually do have acquaintances and friendships on the other side of the aisle."

Top Republicans, including Vice President Dick Cheney, have taken the unusual step of publicly commenting on the results of the Democratic primary that Lieberman lost.

Rove said reports that he offered to help the senator were ``completely inaccurate" and Bush did not know until yesterday about his call to Lieberman.

1. Harry Reid at Rove's House For Dinner?

:shrug: What do you think they talked about?

3. And that is the problem with our "leadership"

If this is true - big if - I find it detestible and vile.

One does NOT consort with CRIMINALS.

I can understand the need to grudgingly go to OUR White House to have dinner with the Office of the President, not the idiot occupying that post, but there is simply NO reason to consort with thug, liars and charlatans. None.

4. I can't see any reason to have dinner with Rove

none whatsoever, so yes I take pause in wondering why Harry Reid would...

5. one could only imagine.

It does seem a little odd. It is hard to picture rove being friends with anyone on the other side of the aisle as he states in the article.

:shrug:

2. Nobody WANTS Bush's backing

not even turncoat DINOS.

6. And Karl's nickname is "Honest Abe."

We all know he speaks nothing but the truth at all times.
