Rove calls critics of Bush "elite, effete snobs who can't hold a candle to this guy"

[bigtree]

Limbaugh: Does it frustrate you...? I know you said earlier just ignore the criticism. Does it frustrate you with all the attacks on him as brain dead or a frat boy, that you're the brain and this sort of thing, or do you shelve that and just go about your day?

Rove: Well, I shelve that, but I have to admit I'm amused by it because, you know, this is one of the best-read people I've ever met. This is a Harvard MBA. This is a Yale undergraduate whose major was history and whose passion is history. Many times the people I see criticizing him are, you know, sort of elite, effete snobs who can't hold a candle to this guy. What they don't like about him is that he is common sense, that he is Middle America.

Limbaugh: He outsmarts 'em.

Rove: Yeah, and look, in a way, they "misunderestimate" him, and he likes that.

Limbaugh: (Laughs.)

Rove: In fact, I think to some degree he cultivates that because it doesn't matter to him if somebody on the Upper East Side is putting their nose in the air about him. You know, he is who he is, and he's comfortable in his own skin, and he's not going to change just to win popularity with the elites.

so, the 60% or so of Americans who disapprove of the way the smirking chimp is doing his job are 'elites'


Limbaugh: I received a bunch of e-mails from people when I said you were going to be on, who wanted me to pass on to you that they love you.

Rove: Oh, thanks Rush.

Limbaugh: We all do.

Rove: Thanks, buddy.

Limbaugh: Talk to you soon.

Rove: Thanks much.

4. He's right, can't hold a candle, witch burning is now banned

however if he succeeds in bombing us back to the stone age, it may come back again. I was thinking the other day

no real charges.
