Politico’s Jonathan Martin reports that Karl Rove called Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) “late last week and urged him to contact John McCain to withdraw his name from vice presidential consideration.” Citing three unnamed sources, Martin writes that Lieberman “dismissed the request” from Rove.
This morning on Fox News, host Megyn Kelly asked Rove to confirm the Politico’s report. Rove responded, “Sen. Lieberman’s camp denied it and so did my camp last night, so I guess Politico.com was wrong.” “Is that a non-denial denial?” Kelly asked. Rove said the Politico story “is not right,” but he refused to say whether he did indeed call Lieberman and what they talked about:
KELLY: Did you call him [Lieberman]?
ROVE: Uh, uh, the report is absolutely incorrect.
KELLY: Now you’re waffling. Did you call him?
ROVE: Uh. Look, I’m not going to get into who I call and don’t call. But this report that I called Senator Lieberman and told him, you call Senator McCain and withdraw from the vice presidential, is incorrect.
Growing more uncomfortable by the moment, Rove refused to answer Kelly’s repeated question about whether he talked to Lieberman. “Okay, not gonna go there,” Kelly finally conceded. Watch it: </div></div> link (http://thinkprogress.org/2008/08/28/rove-lieberman-2/)
Rove is slime.....this confirms it.
