I really like this piece of writing. I saw that story, and I hoped you in particular responded to it. I'm glad you did in such a spectacular fashion. It makes me smile.
Rove's portrayal makes no kind of sense when it's applied to Obama. He's just projecting big time because, when you think about it, Rove just described Bush to a T. Bush would be the one getting drunk at a country club, making derogatory nicknames for everyone who walked by, and wiping his martini glass on someone's jacket.
Thanks LM, laser point perfect as usual.
Slightly O/T- Don Imus is an incorrigible racist. Get rid of him already.
LM, man, you crack me up....I was reading this, and WAY before I got to the end, I was thinking...Karl, you fucker....you're the kid in Caddyshack who pukes into the car.....and then, there you are with that image and the You Tube to boot!
Mean, spoiled and classless.....that's Karl Rove to a T.
I'm hoping he ends up puking his guts out on the White House lawn.
The Republicans do have a habit of using the facts to fuck people up, by turning them on their head. Kerry the decorated war hero comes out the other end as a coward while George the Coward comes out the other end an air national guard hero. It has worked for them before, that is why they keep trying it.
This one is beyond stupid though... mostly because everybody knows that country Clubs are mighty white even now.
KKKarl is the Chamber of Commerce smack blowing the kitchen help.
Given the fact that most people are neither members nor visitors to country clubs, I'm guessing this ridiculous metaphor was intended for wavering Country Club Republicans (as in 'moderate' & not the 'extra-chromosone', religious Right crowd).
Even then it seems stupid, as you capably point out in your post.
Isn't Rove supposed to appear for questioning before the House soon? I wish they'd hurry up and imprison him in the House jail for ignoring their subpoenas.
Amuseinc, you've got a valid point. But on the other hand the VC didn't launch a suprise attack on Texas while lil Bush was drinking and snorting his way through his unfinished stint in the Nat Guard.
No, Rove. He's the guy who's got nothing to prove and won't take your shit.
And Bushwood sucks!
Wonder how that extra time with the family is working out for Mr. Rove.
"It is better to remain silent, and let the world think you a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
Ever notice that every time Rove opens his mouth lately, he's saying stupider and stupider shit?
Apparently intent on becoming Obama's Secret Weapon, Rove seems to be channelling Krystol now ... he & McCain deserve each other ... hope he's having fun with his latest attempt at Swiftboating.
Yeah, keep it up, Karl, it looks good on you. Oh, & remember: real men don't respond to subpoenas!
Actually, there is a certain karmic justice watching Rove invoke all of the hateful, tired and old racist dog whistles, and then seeing them blowing up in his pasty-white, undertaker visage.
Rove, for all of the FEAR he engendered with the DC crowd, has become a Dan Quayle sized joke. Or is it Norma Desmond, no?
And in Heaven, Anne Richards is having a hell of a good belly-laugh, at long last (Rove endlessly lesbian baited her in the 1994 Texas gov race).
I saw a nice football related take on Karl Rove:
People give Rove far too much credit.
He's the Mike Martz of politics.
He was handed Lee Atwater's (Dick Vermeil's) playbook that only worked when he had homefield advantage on turf. Now that the game is different, he keeps running the same plays with crappier personnel, and his QB gets clobbered.
And another great article, LM! If the Republicans are acting this batshit crazy now imagine how they'll be come October! On the plus side I'm sure this means you'll have more than enough things to write about then! 
This is yet another case of Karl Rove, high school boy, being insanely jealous of the guys who were taller, better looking, able to get the girls. He had it for Bill Clinton, and he had it for Barack Obama, except that instead of the gregarious charismatic guy, Obama is the cool charismatic guy who got the girls because they found him intriguing and mysterious. And little Karl was just a doughy, pasty, fat boy with man-tits jerking off to pictures of Raquel Welch in his parents' bathroom.
Perhaps some good psychotherapy could help him.
If Dubya is Spaulding, who's the gopher? 
Oh, excuse me, Rove--but Dubya does seem more Spauldinglike. Rove seems more like the guy who vandalizes your car and blames it on the kitchen staff, or is that Cheney?
