By now, every Democrat with an Iowan in their address book has called for Karl Rove to apologize his remarks at a NY Conservative party event; there, he explained why God made Bush President. Because if the Democrats had been in power, they would have "wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers." This seems unduly harsh; everyone knows that Democrats would have wanted to pull out the attackers' feeding tubes and cloned their babies. In any case, at today's noon briefing, WH spokesperson Scott McClellan cleared up the motivation for Rove's statement. Despite the President's distaste for "book learning," Rove is quite the philosopher (McClellan used some variation of "philosophy" over 20 times), focusing mainly on "different" ones ("different philosophies," 15 times). Sounds high-flautin, but the talk was C-student friendly -- through it all, Rove was "simply pointing out" (four times). Next week, John Snow on rich men getting into heaven!— WONKETTE
