Ravin’ Rove

By Jennifer J. Foster

More evidence, from PolitickerME.com, that Karl Rove doesn’t play nicely with others:

Maine’s Republican delegation got a surprise visit from former White House political operative Karl Rove at its convention breakfast this morning.

During his speech, he talked up John McCain’s Republican presidential bid and criticized Democratic nominee Barack Obama for his inexperience.

When the topic of running mates came up, he referred to U.S. Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) as a “big, blowhard doofus.“

To which Biden said, “I know you are, but what am I?“

No, he didn’t say that. Biden took the high road, according to CNN’s Political Ticker:

On hearing the news, Biden grinned and said “he’s a great American.”

... Biden addressed the criticism during a flight on his campaign plane Monday evening. A reporter asked if the senator would now answer to “Senator Doofus.”

“You can call me anything you want,” he said. “I learned a long time ago you can call me anything you want.”

Who sounds like the “big, blowhard doofus” now?

Hey, that reminds me of a saying:

“I’m rubber, you’re glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks on you.“
