Rove On Dowd: 'This is a Dour, Downbeat Liberal'

A dour, downbeat liberal? That's a triple redundancy.

Question: Are there any happy liberals?

Former White House adviser Karl Rove lashed out at New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd on Fox News Channel Wednesday, saying Dowd was a "nasty, snarky person" with a "twisted, bitter little heart."

"I think Maureen Dowd is a bitter, twisted, deranged columnist for the New York Times who misses no opportunity to show her disdain for the conservative side of the aisle," Rove said on Fox News Channel.

"I actually went to an editorial board meeting at the New York Times and wasted a couple bucks on some flowers to give Maureen Dowd…give her a smile on her face. And that didn't even work," he recalled. "This is a dour, downbeat liberal."

Tell us how you really feel, Karl.
