I have known about Karl Rove's visit to Claremont McKenna for quite some time now, but haven't been able to quite put together what I think of him. Maybe it's time to think it over a bit. In truth, there are really two Karl Roves -- the liberal slayer or a conservative war criminal.
Let me suggest a third Rove down below.
Here are some of the questions I would like to ask Mr. Rove. As people sitting close to me at the Ath know, I get very angry when students ask "Googlable" questions -- that is questions they could verify in two seconds were they at a computer.
- What was erstwhile CMC student, Blake Gottesman like to work with? What values do you think CMC imparts to its students (even its drop outs)?
- You are something of an amateur historian who specializes in the turn of the century politics. Who was your favorite political operative of that era and why?
- Do you believe in God? Much as been sad about how you are a purported unbeliever. Is it possible to be a good American and an atheist?
- the NRO symposium on Rove's legacy.
- Pitney's masterful review of the literature out on Rove in Reason Magazine "Accidental Genius: Is Karl Rove Really Bush's Brain?"

Yo Charles. I was annoyed by two things that have nothing to do with this post, but you might enjoy one of them. One was McCain's interview (was it the late night show?) the other night, where he attributes not knowing how many houses he owns to being a P.O.W. Which I thought was rediculously wishy washy for him to do. There's only certain times you should use that, and not for every occasion, especially something small as that.
And here's what you might enjoy, the rediculous liberal PUMA group, who are the most misinformed individuals you can imagine. Watch this interview on the streets with Chris Matthews. This woman refuses to believe she is wrong. =P

Oh, and this. It's a mild attack on McCain from me, because of what Romney just said about Obama "not earning his home, when McCain did".
"Romney said that while McCain deserved his houses because of the "hard work" of himself and his family",
because yes indeed, cheating on your ailing wife with a younger, hotter, wealthier bimbo and then explaining it to your daughter as you eagerly divorce her mom to marry the woman you were nailing while her mom was sick IS hard work.
Don't get me wrong, I know there's many liberal things to point at too. I just need to put this out there. It's frustrating to see such rediculous comments on both sides of the political spectrum, because when it comes to personal life...well, people could banter back and forth on that stuff for forever, rather than focusing purely on their political issues.
