Political Quote of the Day

From Karl Rove, asked by the NY Times Magazine whether he likes Joe Biden:

"I think he has an odd combination of longevity and long-windedness that passes for wisdom in Washington."

Bonus quote from the same article:

NY Times Mag: You’ve been booed off stages recently.

Karl Rove: No, I haven’t. I’ve been booed on stages. I’m a little bit tougher than to walk off a stage because someone says something ugly.

Double super bonus quote from the same article:

NY Times Mag: You’ve never repudiated President Bush.

Karl Rove: No. And I never will. He did the right things.

NYT: What about Iraq and the economy?

KR: The world is a better place with Saddam Hussein gone.

NYT: Do you have any advice for him at this point?

KR: With all due respect, I don’t need you to transmit what I want to say to my friend of 35 years.

Show 'em no mercy, Karl.
