Last night on Fox News, former Bush political operative Karl Rove tried desperately to link President-elect Obama to the scandal surrounding Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D-IL). When co-host Alan Colmes noted that conservatives are "looking for anything they can to try to drag him into this," Rove obliged, saying that Obama is "parsing words" and "making it look like there was no contact" between Obama's team and the Illinois governor.
Rove also said that Obama should ignore U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald's request to not discuss the case, saying "the president-elect ought to decide what is in his best interest." Further suggesting that Obama has something to hide, Rove — who knows a little bit about hiding information — claimed that he doesn't "buy" that Obama's team "is resisting giving out this information only because they're being held back by the prosecutor's office," later adding that the whole affair is "troubling."
