There are plenty of ex-Bush Administration officials these days. Seven years of a failed Presidency will certainly create many of them. Of course that doesn't mean they will speak out against one another, but the former White House Chief of Staff Andy Card came out against Rove's ridiculous claim that the Democrats are to blame for rushing to war in Iraq. Not only did he refute it, he came out swinging with brass knuckles.
From ThinkProgress:
This morning, former White House chief of staff at the time, Andrew Card, appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe and completely discredited Rove’s argument:
SCARBOROUGH: We have to start with something that we all are talking about a couple of days ago where Karl Rove went on Charlie Rose and he blamed the Democrats for pushing him and the president into war. Is that how it worked?
CARD: No, that’s not the way it worked.
Card went on to explain that sometimes Rove’s “mouth gets ahead of his brain”:
SCARBOROUGH: Is that just Karl spinning beyond the White House? …
CARD: Well, Karl is very smart. He’s — sometimes his brain gets ahead of his mouth. And sometimes his mouth gets ahead of his brain.
That highly touted brain of Rove's is seriously scrambled. If he thinks he is going to get away with lying about how we went to war, he's gotta be on some serious drugs. You know its bad when the former Chief of Staff is willing to rake Rove across the coals.
Of course, reality's version of how we went to war tells a different tale.
