Rove: "Well, and you know what, the, ah, the, ah our efforts in Alaska to drill oil indicate that we don't, that, that by doing it the right way the caribou are just fine, thank you very much."

Cavuto: "They're doin' fine. They're doin' fine."

Rove: "Yeah, exactly."

Cavuto: "They hang a little too close to that pipeline. It bothers me on many levels."

Rove: "Well, it's, it's warm."

Cavuto: "It is warm. It's very warm."

Rove: "It is warmer, it's ah, you bet. And it's, ah, it's ah, it's attractive to a man. They smell money."

Cavuto: "Very, ahhhha. Karl Rove. Thank you very much. Always good seeing you."

Rove: "You bet Neil."

"Bush's Brain", ladies and gentlemen.

You know, there must be, somewhere, some central repository where wingnuts receive these idiot statements to repeat as talking points - they can't POSSIBLY be this stupid, can they?

craputo: "It is warm. It's very warm."

LOL! The caribou stand around the pipeline, thriving, warming their hooves, and gossiping about the goings on in the office, while all the while basking in the sweet smell of money.

Only in neoconnuttia.

{Fact is the caribou at the existing pipeline are a different type that will not thrive with a warm pipeline plus the pipeline will cut off large chunks of their migratory territory.

Unfortunately, right wingers care little about any animals but themselves. The days of TR leafing the way on conservation are long gone from the Republican party.

Another fact is that Arctic species, for the most part, evolved to survive in frigid weather. Oh wait, they don't believe in evolution either. So they probably think that the polar bears just wish they had tickets to Florida.

Eh?

NO! NO! NO! We must liberate the caribou from their e-vile dictator who may or may not have WMDs. Then we must democratize them!

And the caribou will greet us liberators, with leaves and berries!!

{K-K-K-Karl needs to get his Caribou-sized ass up to ANWAR, and mingle with the animals for a decade or two.

No, on second thought, that's a pristine environment. Karl would be a definite pollutant.

I'm sure Rove knows all about using money to attract men...

Ah, FOX Noise and the GOP; leaving science education behind since the Reagan Revolution.

[Fovea]

1. Small minds, cunning, yet ignorant in so many important ways

This is what corporist government specializes in-- narrow, uninformed pundits shaping policy for their overlords.

[whistle]

2. Arrogant pea-brained little prick!

[curiousdemo]

3. He's speaking for Bush....

You know he's Bush Brain. Everything Bush have done has been all about putting money in his pockets along with his (Carlyle Group)friends.

[Sam Ervin jret]

4. Every time Rove talks on mass media the audience risks losing IQ points just being in ear shot.

Did this guy ever pass a science class?

[cboy4]

5. They smell money... heh heh.

I just loathe that man.

[wryter2000]

6. Remember what Bush's daddy said about the pipeline?

"The caribou back up against it and make babies."

There's something seriously wrong with that family.

[PerpetuallyDazed]

8. Wow!!!

That's hysterical :rofl:

[wryter2000]

9. The exact quote is even better

"If you're worried about caribou, take a look at the arguments that were used about the pipeline. They'd say the caribou would be extinct. You've got to shake them away with a stick. They're all making love lying up against the pipeline and you got thousands of caribou up there." —speaking in 1991 about the Alaskan pipeline

[PerpetuallyDazed]

7. I've come across this "talking point" two other times...

all by Faux News pundits/guests. "They like it because it's warm" -- so that makes it OK! :eyes:

[libodem]

10. Smarmy smug unctuous

His ass needs to be in jail. What a lot of nerve. They really don't think they have done anything wrong. No shame. To the Hague.

11. I wanna see their college transcripts

because I'm pretty sure now they failed Zoology. Maybe even twice.
