Yes, Mr. Rove, the representatives of the people of the US are asking questions; why aren't you answering? - greenback1, on 10/10/2007, -3/+70Karl opens his mouth and the bile just flows.

- art42, on 10/10/2007, -4/+44Turd Blossom giving lessons on the constitution... LMAO!
KKKarl needs a long time out in Gitmo. - orlyfactor, on 10/10/2007, -2/+37***** you, Rove.
- Ap31r0n, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31"You don't understand you're being an agent of Congress when you ask me that question, but you are," said Rove.
Jedi mind trick? - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+30Karl Rove is a ***** ring.
- Glofern, on 10/10/2007, -0/+28This is hilarious - Chris Wallace actually asked better questions than Dick Gregory on Meet the Press at NBC yesterday who I thought didn't call out Rove on his lies about the build up to the War in Iraq. Normally I think Gregory does a great job so to see that Chris Wallace of Fox is doing more to stand up to Rove, is amazing and shows just how much more contemptable Rove is to everyone who does not bow down to him.
- Cyberen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+26How rich. A sleazy wealthy criminal with no respect for the people of this nation saying there'd be a public outcry if his cronies were held accountable. The only public outcry I hear is that none of you are being held accountable! What a scumbag!
- 4bit, on 10/10/2007, -0/+24Don't you understand you're being an agent of the administration by NOT answering the question?
- 4degrees, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22don't you worry about congress, let me worry about blank.
- sensoukami, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23"agent of Congress"...oh puh-leeze [insert emoticon of guy barfing here]
- geometry, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19It could have been worse. At least he didn't say that Chris Wallace is supporting terrorist by asking such a question, which would have been the default answer last year.
- CiXeL, on 10/10/2007, -3/+20dude. solid gold ***** ring.
- vanza001, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Shouldn't we all be agents of congress? or at least agents of the constitution of which Rove has savagely ravaged.
- NotAChickenHawk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12"You don't understand you're being an agent of Congress when you ask me that question, but you are,"
What he really means: "Hey, Numbnuts! You work for Fox News, remember? You're supposed to be an agent of the Republican Party, not of Congress, or, even worse, the American people! You're supposed to make all neocons look good! I'm a neocon! What the hell are you thinking, suggesting that I should be accountable to the Congress or to the American people?" - DavidYeah, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14I don't get why Wallace would ask this question. Clearly it doesn't fit the format of his show-- e.g. it's an actual newsworthy question. I can't believe he took a moment away from giving Rove a congradulatory hot stone massage to ask this. Perhaps he was hoping to give Rove a nice soapbox for him to dispense some pro-Unitary Executive or pro-Executive Priveledge rhetoric, but Rove was thrown off of his messaging since that nagging feeling of guilt was growling at him in the back of his mind.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Staged.
FoxNews wants credibility and a chance to distance themselves from a sinking ship. - enki25, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12A frequent complaint on the right is that liberals call Bush stupid while simultaneously accusing him of intelligent political manipulation. The reason they are adept at political manipulation is perfectly demonstrated by this interview and raised by your comment. Bush and Rove are very good at not answering questions. Even when the question is direct, they give an answer that relates to the topic, but is a complete non-sequitor. For some reason, they can get away with it on TV. When Wallace asked basically what you did, Rove answered "because of the constitution". If this answer was given in a different format, there would be open laughter. Because it's TV, however, out-of-hand dismissals of pure tripe are not allowed.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Oh, those terrorist agents of Congress. There should be a law; they're unAmerican! The real patriots, they refuse subpoenas and tell Senators to go fsk themselves. Let's get our priorities straight here. All Congressional agents should be tortured in Gitmo, it's the only way to protect the US from subversion.
- ninjaface, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11If rove would have gone to college he might know what the constitution actually does. Its great that we have fat morons like him tearing our country apart.
- Niffer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Lately (the past year or so), Gregory has really dropped the ball on so many levels. He used to get in tiffs in the white house press room all the time asking real questions. Now he's moving up at NBC so he's afraid to be a real journalist. Buddying up for the white house press dinner I guess. Sellout
- Pfhreak, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Tsk, tsk, Rove. You're getting senile in your old age. Smearing a Fox News correspondent? That's biting the hand that gives you reach-arounds.
- satanatnmtedu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8He doesn't?! He certainly doesn't come off as a compassionate champion of the people.
- mwmccullough, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Jeez... What a paranoid nut job? Anything that resembles the slightest resistance is automatically labeled leftist conspiracy. Good riddance he's gone, now there are only two more to go. It's kind of hard to be blue in an ever increasing field of "blood-red" propaganda and not fear for your freedoms.
You know? I think Rove and all those cronies are "agents" of mindless corruption and contempt. - satanatnmtedu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8So, the opinions of seemingly younger people are invalid because they use questionable language? I think digg should have a political analysis filter because anyone that is a righty of any kind is not smart enough to have an intelligent thought or contribute to digg.
- clutchperformer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8It is really telling when people of this administration refer to other institutions of our government.
They use phrases like "activist judiciary" when verdicts challenge their ideology. They sneer the word "congress" when it is controlled by other parties. They scoff at oversight panels and committees.
Folks, these people hate to follow procedures (unless they are excused from them). They hate having their work checked (but would like to check ours). They feel uncomfortable with explaining their actions (but ask us to explain our actions constantly). This isn't a partisan issue, this is an issue of principles.
No administration should have this outward disrespect for institutions designed to keep a check on power. - one321, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8I agree. I have some friends with hardcore Republican parents. I've noticed their attitudes towards Bush changing over the past 6 months. It seems like Republican politicians are distancing themselves, Republican news like FOX is distancing itself, and now the loyal Bush followers are distancing themselves. It doesn't mean they are getting better; it just means they want to be far enough away from the guy they once loved so they don't look completely stupid when it's all said and done. They'll have a new Republican neocon to support soon enough then they'll be back to their old ways.
- l00pee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Amoral people don't feel guilt.
- Vektuz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7There's absolutely nothing with being an agent of congress. Congress, and the Executive branch should be working together for the better of the country. Being an agent of congress is being a voice for the people. It's supposed to be a good thing.
- didiman, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8That's because Gregory is a tool
- pbslya, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Agent of Congress, Agent of Goldstein... Yeah, I usually think of those two things as being equal.
- NotAChickenHawk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I love Wallace's retort to Rove: "I think I'm an agent of the public, not of the Congress." He hits the nail right on the head. Too bad he works for Fox News which is ordinarily completely devoid of independent journalism or any sort of journalistic integrity.
- GorfTron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4"agent of Congress" is an insult?????
- hablo4u, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I think you meant Sith mind trick.
- CiXeL, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4brephophagist = baby eater
- jstohler, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5The right will eat itself. And already is.
- Bubba737, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4And Congress is the enemy. Right???
- dr7greenthumb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3As seen in his MC Rove back up dancing performance.
- Heembo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4more like an Anal plug
- figec, on 10/10/2007, -4/+7
This must be a set up to make Fox look balanced, as anyone who has even walked past a television with FNC on is an evil neo-con hellbent on eating babies. Raw. - Talonkarrde, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Wait — Chris Wallace of Fox News is an agent of Congress?
First of all, there shouldn't be anything wrong with that, right? Being an agent of Congress is probably better than being an agent of say, the KKK or some such group, so why does it sound so...negative? Second, I wasn't aware Fox News could be an agent of Congress. Congress being representative of all people and Fox News being representative of — oh wait, the same liberal-bashing people that believe in Rove, I feel like there's something wrong with this statement.
Then again, there's a lot wrong with most of his statements. The Constitution being used to stifle transparency and free speech, though, probably ranks near the top. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3console yourselves with this:
the majority of diggers i'd bet are younger than turdblossom
so you will most likely outlive him and being able to outlive him
affords us the possibility of celebrating on the day he finally craps out.
i for one am looking to have a BIG party that day - Pfhreak, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Absolutely. Rove's stumbling has nothing to do with guilt, and everything to do with the huge number of lies he's told: it's reached the point he can't keep them all straight.
- enki25, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I don't think somebody with that username has much credibility calling other people out on being condescending.
- janeuner, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Maybe Rove and Faux News staged this...Rove takes a hit to give FNC back some credibility, which they then use to screw up a few more elections?
- tucsonwc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3They do. Rove serves the nation of rich elites who use war profiteering to enrich their pockets and destroy this country.
Rove uses the Fundies as his American Taleban to get the votes, but services the ultra-rich and the military industrial complex and the healthcare and credit industires. Finish it off with Big Oil and Pharma and you have your other nation state, a corporate one. - enki25, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Not really considering the only failure of congress was its inability to correct the even more massive failings of Rove's former boss.
- joe573, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I hope Karl Rove has his own special hell in which to burn.
- Pfhreak, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4"Liberal" in Australia (or any non-American, Anglophone country) is what Americans would call conservative (libertarian, specifically). The American usage of the term dates to the Great Depression and FDR's New Deal policies: anybody who resisted the New Deal was labeled a "conservative" (in the sense of resistant to change), while anybody who supported it was labeled a "liberal". In non-American countries the Republicans would be "liberal", and the Democrats "socialist", but we Americans incorrectly equate the word "socialism" with "communism".
