From American Prospect.
Transcript of Reporters questioning Scott McClellan about an apology (From AmericaBlog) :
Q So will the President ask Karl Rove to apologize?
MR. McCLELLAN: Of course not, Jessica. This is simply talking about different philosophies and different approaches. And I think you have to look at it in that context. If people want to try to engage in personal attacks instead of defending their philosophy, that's their business. But it's important to point out the different approaches when it comes to winning the war on terrorism. And that's all he was doing....
Q What I'm talking about is word choice.
MR. McCLELLAN: Well, I think that they are just trying to engage in partisan attacks. Karl was simply talking about different philosophies, and we should be talking about what we stand for and how we want to move forward. We should be talking about what the different visions are and what the different ideas are, and that's what he was doing....
Q Can I ask it in this way, Scott? Then if this is an issue, is this an expression in some manner that the White House is concerned that with the popularity of the war diminishing, the anti-war liberalism is beginning to take hold so the President and Karl are confronting it directly?
MR. McCLELLAN: No, he was speaking to the New York Conservative Party, and he was talking about different philosophies -- the conservative philosophy and the liberal philosophy and how we're approaching different priorities for the American people. That's all it is.
White House Chief of Staff Andy Card on CNN:
"Karl Rove's speech was a speech that I think reflected some of the rhetoric that a lot of people feel."
Bullshit. You Know what pisses me off the most about this. They went after Howard Dean for his statement and Sen Dick Durban for his to the staminate to the point that Dick Durban wusseyed out and apologists. DEMOCRATS DON'T HAVE A FUCKING BACKBONE. Stand up to this shit and don't let it happen. They are pushing you around to get their way.
Quit crying to the bully... they will stop if you stand up to them.
