YOU WOUND ME TO THE QUICK, SIRRAH

Fresh off mounting allegations that Karl Rove and his Crossroads Super-PAC are, you know, pouring millions of dollars into elections without any oversight whatsoever, ol' Karl takes a dive on the turf and hopes the Village refs call Obama for the foul over this DNC ad.



CNN is more than happy to oblige.

"Have these people no shame?" Rove said of the attacks leveled at him and the Chamber. "Does the president of the United States have such little regard for the office he holds that he goes out there and makes these kind of baseless charges against his political enemies? This is just beyond the pale. How dare the president do this?"

“This is a desperate and I think disturbing trend by the president of the United States to tar his political adversaries with some kind of enemies list, with being unrestrained by any facts or evidence whatsoever."

Appearing on CBS’s Face the Nation, Gillespie also responded to the charges leveled against him and Rove in the new DNC ad.

“Karl Rove and I don't run American Crossroads. We're fully supportive of it. I've helped to raise money for it. I encouraged it to come together because I think we need something like that on the conservative side because there's so much money on the liberal side. You know, $400 million was spent in 2008 to help elect Barack Obama.” 

Obama has an enemies list!  Creeping Sharia law!  Booga booga booga!  In the words of Sarah Palin, "How much do we really know about Barack Hussein Obama?"

More than we do about Crossroads and its donors.  Those poor Republicans, complaining about the money gap...you know, despite Republicans outspending the Democrats 7-1 here thanks to groups like Crossroads.  Karl Rove clutches his pearls, goes straight for the fainting couch, and the Village buys it wholesale anyway. 

Rove still knows how to play the game.  Now the issue isn't anonymous donors or foreign money going to the Chamber of Commerce, but how the mean black man hurt Karl Rove's feelings.

Outstanding.
