How should you have phrased what you wanted to say? Because this was an awful way of saying it. Look into the camera. If Ann Romney is watching you right now, talk to her. I didn\u2019t hear an apology. Here\u2019s what I don\u2019t understand, because you\u2019re an excellent and very astute political strategist. Why bring Ann Romney into this conversation? Should conservatives, Republicans, go after Michelle Obama? Democrats are quickly throwing you, as you well know, under the bus.  Democrats are going after you like that.  It\u2019s one thing for the Republicans to be slamming you, but for all these Democrats that you have worked so closely with over the years. If someone could organize a little face-to-face time between you and Ann Romney to talk about this in person, that would probably be helpful, don\u2019t you think? <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=15970\">Hilary Rosen, <\/a>thanks very much for coming in. Good luck.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  (laughing) Look into the camera, Ann Romney\u2019s on the other side, what do you have to say to her?  Tell her.  The only thing he didn\u2019t say is, could you cry a little?  That\u2019s the only thing Wolf didn\u2019t say.  They are shocked.  Folks, they know this is a big hit.  Grab audio sound bite number 11.  This is Karl Rove.  He was on with Greta last night, and she said, &#8220;She certainly is an experienced mother.  She knows the challenges of raising a family and household.  She\u2019s had health challenges.  I didn\u2019t see this as an attack personally on Ann Romney, Karl.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MRC TV video player\" width=\"575\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mrctv.org\/embed\/111840\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>ROVE:  I think there are people in Chicago who are happy that Hilary Rosen has said this thing and has injected this into the campaign &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>VAN SUSTEREN:  They\u2019ve thrown her under the bus already.<\/p>\n<p>ROVE:  They should have called up Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Democratic national chairman, who they instructed to put Rosen in as senior adviser and say publicly fire her as senior adviser, but they don\u2019t do that.  Why?  &#8216;Cause One of the persons who has &#8212; who has coined the phrase &#8220;<a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=15959\">War on Women<\/a>&#8221; and used it probably more than anybody &#8212; any other public figure is Debbie Wasserman Schultz.  It was personal. It was mean. It was nasty, and her apology is halfhearted.  And I suspect there are guys in Chicago sitting in that headquarters who are saying, &#8220;God, we were smart to get that 140-word tweet out, and isn\u2019t it great we got our shot in and we were able to distance ourselves with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  See, Rove is saying that\u2019s exactly what they wanted, that shot out there. They wanted her saying that. They wanted people thinking about Ann Romney that way and they\u2019ll take the heat because they personally got out of it. They\u2019ll throw Hilary under the bus, but there\u2019s a wink and a nod because they\u2019re not really throwing her under the bus.  She\u2019s one of them.  She\u2019s in the tribe.  They\u2019re not getting rid of her.  She\u2019s gonna be intimately involved in Obama\u2019s reelect.  All of this throwing her under the bus is strictly for show. Rove is exactly right.  By the way, I haven\u2019t heard Rove that animated about anything I can\u2019t tell you in a long time.  The last time he was that mad he was mad at me.  (laughing)  Really, he was fired up there.  Normally he\u2019s soft-spoken, reasonable, but my, he\u2019s firing both barrels there, like he did at me on immigration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Folks: If I had a daughter, she would look like Ann Romney.
