MSNBC "reporter" terms Carl Rove "turd blossom".
MSNBC Countdown with Keith Oblerman, David Schuster reporting | 12-03-07 | David Schuster

Posted on 12/03/2007 7:25:52 PM PST by Diogenez

The coprophillic smear came acreoss the videowaves into America's waiting TV sets at appx. 8:45PM this evening. The phrase was attributed vaguely to "some people" who, according to Schuster, applied this term to Rove. The bulk of the story on Rove was otherwise unremarkable.

MSNBC is a joint venture shared by Microsoft with NBC Broadcasting. Other sponsors of the show included Levitra, Lending Tree, AT&T, Tekserve(A NYC Apple Outlet),Lunesta, One-A-Day Men's,Time Warner Cable (2 commercials),Terlatto Wines, Oxygen Network,Nationwide, L'Oreal, Best Buy, Geek Squad, Vicks, Mitsubishi, Phillips Electric (founded and presided-over over the years by relatives of Karl Marx). Aleve and Ameripride Financial commercials seemed to have been cut off.

Shuster delivered his line as if a turd blossom wouldn't melt in his mouth. Probably had, though.

Wasn’t “Turd Blossom” President Bush’s nickname for Rove?

Turd Blossom is Bush’s pet name for Karl Rove. It means that Rove is so good at what he does that he can even make a turd grow a blossom.

I remember free speech.

Then Jimmy The Greek got fired and it’s been downhill ever since.

Now look at us.

Would be asking too much to get the spelling correct when you right the headline?

I thought it was for when Rove something that annoyed Bush, that the two were that close that Bush could say someting that brutal and it would get laughed off. That's my recall. Perhaps that's the liberal media was spinning it.

A “turd bloom” is what sometimes grows out a hot, steaming pile of Schuster...

It is nice to know Mr. Rove bothered them so much. And their attempts to bring some kind of legal action against him came to zip.

8 hours of tv viewing a day results in people that foam at

the mouth when they see a picture of rove ( or cheney et al).

my retired neighbors watch tv all day and hate rove; i was visting one woman when an image of rove appeared on her muted tv,

and she foamed at the mouth on cue.
