(2006-02-27) — Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove today publicly apologized for telling the author of the new book, Strategery, that Sen. Hillary Clinton cannot be elected president because she has “a brittleness about her” that voters don’t like.
“I shouldn’t have called Sen. Clinton brittle,” said a contrite Mr. Rove. “That might leave the impression that she’s emotionally or psychologically fragile and could snap at any moment.”
By saying that the junior senator from New York has a “brittleness about her,” Mr. Rove admitted, “I may have inadvertently caused some people — who don’t realize how much I respect her — to think that Sen. Clinton might be unfit to serve as president, because she’s cold, curt, brusque, negative, tense, aloof, testy, on-edge … you know, brittle. I’m really quite sorry.”
Mr. Rove, President George Bush’s old friend and top adviser, acknowledged that the remark was “over the top” and asked the former First Lady to forgive him “within the next decade or so, if she ever gets over the bitterness of harboring a grudge against me due to my ‘brittleness’ comment.”
Sen. Clinton, asked to respond to Mr. Rove’s apology, said, “No comment,” and hung up the phone.
"Crusty pantsuit" works too.
At ease. It's satire from Scrappleface.
LOL.
Forgot to check the byline. Had me going there.
But Senator Hissary saying "no comment" and hanging up?
Now THAT'S true to life and true to form!
(BTW: `Hissary' is my own invention. Please feel free.)
This seems too real and believable to be from Scrappleface.
"...to think that Sen. Clinton might be unfit to serve as president, because she’s cold, curt, brusque, negative, tense, aloof, testy, on-edge … you know, brittle. I’m really quite sorry.”"
Talk about a backhanded slap. He not only gets credit for the apology but he gets to further define the horrid Ms. Klinton.
Ya gotta love it.
Perfect.
I believe Rush Limbaugh described her voice as similar to many men's second wife.
Checked this out first cause I was about to write Rove and give him a piece of my mind. Glad to see it was scrappleface. I like what Rove said:
Now it is Mrs. Willie Clinton...brittlereee, hillereeeee.
No, think of something else. Peanuts and peanut brittle are delicious and good.
Jimmah and hillereee are both weird.
Sorry
ROFLMAO!
I love Scrappleface. :)
No, she'll never get over Macho Grande...
"...and that, as much as anything, led to her drinking problem."
