Not Me

Karl Rove has been eagerly making the rounds to tell everyone the Iraq War was neither his nor Bush's fault.

Democrats did it. They used their nasty peer pressure powers to make the president send troops over. Apparently, former senator Tom Daschle is the chief villain in his fantasy...I mean dream...I mean story.

Think Progress:

On Fox News Sunday this morning, Karl Rove reiterated his false claim that Democrats in Congress — not the Bush administration — forced a war vote prior to the 2002 midterm elections. Despite having being contradicted by former Chief of Staff Andrew Card and former Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, Rove continued to press his make-believe story about how the Iraq war vote occurred.

On the Charlie Rose Show a little over a week ago, Rove said that “the administration was opposed to voting on it in the fall of 2002.” ...

Crooks and Liars:

Yes, the truth finally comes out — the tyrannical, warmongering Tom Daschle was out on the news shows in 2002, beating the drums of war and eventually the Bush administration, with his
boot to their throat, relented and let the Democrats have their war.

Van Hollen reads a statement from former White House Press Secretary, Ari Fleischer, who refutes Rove’s claims, but missed the opportunity to bring up Andrew Card, who not only refuted Rove’s claims, but used him as a punchline earlier this week. Rove kept spinning, but eventually, host Chris Wallace put an end to the discussion. Let’s hope Turdblossom stays out there making a fool of himself for as long as possible…
