Perhaps misquoted is the wrong word. Distorted. Taken out of context. Fake but accurate. Other Freepers have pointed out that MD is a lefty state. If said in a joking way "The Republican title is an albatross around my neck," is not an insult to the GOP or conservatives.
And an honest assessment of the benefits of Bush campaigning for Steele is not an insult to the President.
Even if the drive-by-media has honestly and factually reported this story, a laughable notion, it is not impossible that Rove advised Steele to distance himself from Dubya. There have been many ways that Dubya has taken criticism for the betterment of the GOP Congress. Deficit spending comes to mind. I have no doubt that Dubya would take a media hit if it gets Steele into office.

All of you who keep trying to but a rose on this pig keep forgetting something.
If it was a publicity stunt, or if Rove had him do this, or any other spin you want to put on it for why it happened, THE MAN ASKED THAT HIS NAME NOT BE ATTACHED TO HIS OWN COMMENTS.
Now, as far as I know, 'Anonymous' isn't running for the Senate.
