Karl Rove, whose supposed political acumen was shattered by President Obama’s successful re-election, fired a cheap shot at Hillary Clinton, alleging she suffers from "traumatic brain injury" stemming from her tumble of last year, according to a May 12 report in Rupert Murdoch's New York Post.
The former counselor of President George W. Bush, who affectionately referred to Rove as "turd blossom," implied that the nation would be at risk with the election of a person who may not be fully mentally equipped.
Murdoch's Wall Street Journal has been flogging the Clinton attack of its weekly political op-ed writer speculating today that it shows that Republicans "might use the health scare to paint her as unfit to service."
Rove’s Lee Atwater-inspired salvo at Clinton shows Karl is not in touch with the evolution of the media since Willie Horton felled Michael Dukakis’ presidential campaign.
The proliferation of online outlets provides ample opportunity for Clinton allies and players in the respected media world to debunk non-neurologist Rove’s nonsense.
At the very least, Rove has more than met his match. His former colleague Nicolle Wallace notes that Rove's words were “done so at great cost to his own reputation, because people on both sides of the aisle have been incredibly harsh.
Worse for Karl: "The Big Dog" has been aroused, rising yesterday to the defense of his wife.
President Clinton mocked Rove saying it shows "consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." Rove should enjoy his last rodeo.
