Karl Rove has gone and called Barack Obama “arrogant.”

Oh, yes, it bears repeating.

Karl Rove has gone and called Barack Obama “arrogant.”

Wow. I just need to let that seep into my brain and swirl around a little bit.

Karl Rove has gone and called Barack Obama “arrogant.” He actually said it like he personally thinks it’s a bad thing. Karl Rove. This man either has the self-awareness of my toaster, or he truly has planet-sized balls of bullet-proof platinum.

I know it’s a Friday, and I try to avoid political gibberish on this site, but I just can’t get my mind off this one. You see, what’s odd is that KARL ROVE IS THE SECOND MOST ARROGANT MAN ON THE PLANET, AND HE GOT THE FIRST-PLACE KING “ELECTED” TWICE! But since he completely fouled up the 2006 election and “resigned,” I guess he gets to play commentator and call other people arrogant now.

He’s actually using an approach that democrats should have used in 2000 and 2004 to defeat George W. Bush. They should have been direct and said, “Bush is not a real Texan, he’s a privileged elitist, he’s not smart, he has failed at every venture in his life, he will destroy America, and he’s also arrogant.” But no, they had to play nice, so Rove gets to use that word now.

Believe this:

If Albert Einstein were to run for president, Karl Rove would call him “smarty pants.”

If Mother Teresa were to run for president, Karl Rove would call her “goody two shoes.”

If Helen Keller were to run for president, Karl Rove would claim that “she has no vision and she doesn’t listen to voters.”

If Jesus were to run for president, Karl Rove would call him a communist and claim that he “interferes with nature and disappears for mysterious three-day weekends.”

If Karl Rove were to run for president, Karl Rove would call himself “a bloated boiled egg of cynicism, hot air, and Dungeon Master gravitas.” Sometimes he hits the nail right on the shiny head.

Hairstyles that Mom Won’t Approve

I should dearly love that the world should be ever so little better for my presence. Even on this small stage we have our two sides, and something might be done by throwing all one’s weight on the scale of breadth, tolerance, charity, temperance, peace, and kindliness to man and beast. We can’t all strike very big blows, and even the little ones count for something.
Arthur Conan Doyle
