In December of 2009, we asked Karl Rove via twitter if his office had sent out anti-French talking points to the media. The former Senior Advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush replied with a terse NO. While we appreciate having a reply we can add to the public record, needless to say we don’t believe Mr Rove.
error 404 🙂
Honesty is not his long suit.
Also admitting to this specific question would have opened the floodgates to a larger issue : talking points sent to Fox News and other outlets.
Also, remember Scott McClellan revealed this practice in his memoir.
The secret is out: the Bush / Cheney Administration regularly fed talking points to Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and their acolytes.
Karl Rove is one of the biggest liar we’ve seen in years : he is not to be trusted.
