Karl Rove accosted by ex-GOP chief of staff

Former Bush adviser Karl Rove was verbally accosted Thursday evening by an ex-chief of staff to former Rep. Tom Feeney (R-Fla.).

Rove was quietly having dinner at the tony restaurant Charlie Palmer Steak on Capitol Hill when he was aggressively approached by Jason Roe, the former Feeney staffer. Roe, now of Federal Strategy Group, was "loud and boisterous" toward Rove. He was apparently (still) upset over the following comments Rove made on Fox News, the day after the election, in which Feeney — along with many other Republicans — went down in flames.

Looks like Rove has a few Republicans out for his hide.

Look at the rest of the exchange in the link.

It's certainly interesting watching the GOP implode. I'd love to get inside Rove's circle for a bit, I imagine it would be pretty interesting.

Every time Rove speaks, his abrasiveness hurts the Republicans.

[sharkman]

I've seen him speak several times in the last month. What abrasiveness are you talking about?

So the guy has people in his party that disagree with him, big deal.

The GOP has certainly been a poster child in the last few months for "poor losers."

Here is the latest Rove attack:

Karl Rove called Joe Biden a “blowhard” and a “liar” in response to some of the vice president’s comments about the Bush administration.

Rove only knows one strategy: attack, attack, attack.

...but will never equal the height of loser's dismay exhibited by the Democrats after the 2000 election.

Uh...Norm Coleman and the GOP did that months ago in Minnesota. And they don't even have an excuse like the Dems had with the electoral abuses in Florida.

I hear he has been keeping Loyalty files on those who were with or against Bush. Why I don't know probably to weed out the Socialists and Communists. Better dead then red right?

But did Rove really just admit that he kept a file of Feeney's criticism's of George Bush? If that's true, he almost certainly didn't stop at Feeney -- there were plenty of Republican lawmakers who were just as outspoken as Feeney, if not more so, on the subject of Bush's failings. Who else did Rove have files on?

Didn't the Nazis do something similar? Rove's just Himmler re-incarnated into a capitalist version.
