Awwwkward

An uncomfortable, close-to-home exchange between FNC's Wallace
and ex-Bush official Karl Rove over McCain's choice of
New Orleans to deliver his first general-election speech:

Rove: "I think I would have picked a blue state ... a state that's up
for grabs."

Wallace: "So the fact, and clearly the symbolism here was that I'm
going to a state that was a, quote, Bush failure, with Katrina, and
I'm going to show that I'm breaking with the administration."

Rove: "Well, no, actually I think they went there because he had had a
long, planned series of fundraising events in Memphis, and in
Louisiana."

Wallace: [laughter] "Oh really? Oh, so that was the great strategy here?"
