“It is so unseemly for a former president to take the virtual commencement ceremony for a series of historically black colleges and universities and turn it into a political drive-by shooting. “I mean, you know, this is a moment where these young graduates could be inspired to a life of service, to, you know, recognize that life is going to …

“The self-centeredness, and the conceit of this woman, who thinks that because she’s young, and everybody else is young, and she’s a left-winger and she knows a lot of other left-wingers, that somehow or another they are the greatest generation that America has ever seen, is just beyond me. But you know, we have to put up with her. I …

Fox News reports: Republican strategist Karl Rove said on “Fox & Friends” Friday that Sen.

“I think this is over the top. Every president has problems with the media. I was in the White House for seven years, I didn’t like the coverage they gave George W.

Media Matters has the transcript: “He has 186 electoral votes in states that he either leads outside of the margin of error or is thought comfortably put away. That compares to Romney’s 206.

Via Politico: Karl Rove is playing a bipartisan blame game when it comes to talk about impeachment. “[President Barack Obama] is playing with the American people by suggesting a constitutional crisis where none exists,” Rove said Tuesday on Fox News’ “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.” “Shame on him and shame on those people in the administration who participate …
