Yes, he should. Or explain why Osama bin Laden is still a free man.

hasn't this already been done?

Politicians are always talking smack about the other parties. Have they every apologized before? Why start now? I think smack-talking is a prerequisite for the job.

i just like getting smacked.

Actually, Dick Durbin has apologized twice in the past week.

I like what conservative Andrew Sullivan has to say on it:

"It seems to me that Karl Rove's sickening generalization about "liberals" in the war on terror is revealing in ways not obviously apparent. Sure, there were some on the hard left who really did jump to blame America for the evil perpetrated by the monsters of 9/11. I took names at the time. But all "liberals"? The New Republic? Joe Lieberman? Hitch? Paul Berman? The Washington Post editorial page? Tom Friedman? Almost every Democrat in the Congress who endorsed the war in Afghanistan? You expect that kind of moronic extremism from a Michelle Malkin, but from the most influential figure in an administration leading a country in wartime? Ok, ok, I'm not surprised. Rove is a brutal operator. But to my mind, the hysterical attacks on Durbin and now this outburst (and the White House's subsequent endorsement of it) are an indication of some level of panic. We face at least three more grueling years of warfare in Iraq with our current troop level, and it's not at all clear that the public is prepared to go along with it, given the incremental progress we are making. Rove knows this. He also knows that the haphazard way in which the White House prepared for the war, its chronic under-manning of the occupation, its failure, as Abizaid conceded yesterday, to make any progress against the insurgency over the past six months despite the enormous psychological boost of the January election: all these have made the administration unable to really shift the blame. Rove's strategic decision to make social security reform the center-piece of the second term has also, shall we say, not gone according to plan. So what to do? You do what you always do. You create a scenario in which you cannot be out-demagogued. You deflect from the awful fall-out from the decision to exempt terror suspects from bans on cruel and inhumane treatment to a senator's analogy to the Gulag. And instead of leveling with the country about the real difficulty of the war we're in, acknowledging error and sketching a unifying vision for winning, you divide the country into good folk and "liberals" and hope it works as well as it always has. If you want to know how well the administration really believes the war is going, listen to their rhetoric. And start worrying."

Good find.

Karl Rove is a pimple on the festering ass of a diseased sewar rat. He is the lowest form of life. Except for NE accountants.

Why limit it to NE accountants? :p (Sorry to all of my accountant friends--I just couldn't help myself. ;) )

I'd be pleasantly surprised if Rove were to so much as explain his comments, let alone apologize for them. Unfortunately, most surprises from that bunch are decidedly unpleasant. :(

It is along story...I receantly decided that NE accoutants are the lowest form of life.

Yeah, right. Andrew Sullivan? Of course he'd say something like that. That guy is... Oh, wait. He's a conservative.

From the Nixon White House to the "contract with America" debacle to the Iraq war, Republicans can always be relied on to shoot themselves in the foot sooner or later.

Andrew Sullivan is as conservative as Michael Moore.
