OUCH! Carney responds to Dr Rove's Med Evaluation-"Here’s what I would say about cognitive capacity"

[kpete]

Rove had said of Clinton:

“Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that.”

Alexander noted that “they have their motivations for raising this topic,” (to which Carney interrupted, “Ya think?”) but asked Carney “Is there something about her health concern – traumatic brain injury or anything – that was communicated to the White House that has not been communicated publicly, or can you right now say…”

Carney cut in. “You’re asking a question based on the assertion of a political… consultant, which is a kind way of putting his job, his medical evaluation.”

“Here’s what I would say about cognitive capacity,” Carney added, “which is that Dr. Rove might have been the last person in America, on election night, to recognize and acknowledge that the President had won reelection, including the state of Ohio, so we’ll leave it at that.”

The White House has, thus far, not responded to our repeated inquiries as to whether Obamacare will cover that burn.

3. k&r...

4. That's good, Jay Carney.. "cognitive capacity" or lack thereof.

[FourScore]

5. Honestly, I don't think it was that great a response.

This is why non-issues become issues for Democrats. They need to shut it down first, and they never do. Most Americans are going to watch that video and say,"Ooo, he didn't answer the question; she much have brain damage!" He needs to say:

1. She was in the hospital 4 days, not 30.
2. She wore those designer glasses for years (google it) and there are pics to prove it.
3. Hillary Clinton was not and is not suffering from brain damage

Then do his little cognitive capacity thing.

My Gawd! Democrats can be so lame! But I do love em.

[adieu]

6. Good points

Complete correction and evisceration of their talking points, then snark them to death.

[Voice for Peace]

7. don't think he wanted to give Rove's assertion even that much dignity

and good for him. I like Jay Carney.

[IkeRepublican]

9. Boom

Hammer meet nail.

That's exactly how Rove's little quips turn into issues. As one DU poster said in regards to Pelosi and Bungoozie:

STOP. PLAYING. THEIR. GAME.

[dionysus]

11. oh FFS

[awoke_in_2003]

8. Let's, for the sake of argument...

say she had brain surgery. At least she had a brain to be operated on

[monmouth3]

14. When Hillary is guest at her first WHCD, that will be one of many items she will be able to joke

about. Karl will always be a laughingstock...

[Shoonra]

10. Karl Rove may have traumatic brain injury

Hillary Clinton was diagnosed with a stomach virus which, in turn, caused dehydration and light headeness, causing her to fall down. She was NOT in hospital for thirty days but only for three, so Rove exaggerated by a factor of ten. She briefly wore eyeglasses designed to minimize double vision, but wore them only a few days. No evidence that she had lingering symptoms. At least she hadn't hit the ground because she was choking on a potato chip - that was Rove's boss, George Dubya, and he appeared to be special needs for the rest of his time in office.

I suspect that Karl Rove is suffering from permanent brain damage as a result of having his head up his ass for the duration of his career.

[dionysus]

12. yes!!!!

[okaawhatever]

13. +100 Welcome to DU nt

[Sheepshank]

15. Rove himself hs not been right in the head since the Mittens fiasco

Rove's need and desire for revenge and likley his need to clear his good name, seems to be trumping all logic.

[Calista241]

16. Rove

Like him or not, Rove got George W Bush elected as President, twice. I know they cheated, blah blah, whatever, the fact is Bush spent 8 years in the White House.

How many other people could get that moron elected to anything, much less the Presidency?

Our political adversaries that have accomplished something like that should be respected. If we don't respect what they've accomplished, then we'll be shocked and appalled when they achieve what we thought was impossible, again.
