Unethical revenge by Rove would not surprise his poli-sci prof

By MATT CANHAM AND THOMAS BURR, Salt Lake Tribune

SALT LAKE CITY -- When the dean of Utah political scientists, J.D. Williams, retired from the classroom, he received a note from his most famous student -- Karl Rove.
In the 1992 letter to the die-hard Democrat, Rove wrote, "My career has been to fight for causes and candidates I'm certain you disapprove of, but I am equally confident that you approve of my being in the fight." Rove, who considers Williams to be one of his first political mentors, may have been a little overly confident.
Williams believes President Bush's top adviser and famed GOP mastermind failed to grasp one of the two key lessons he was taught at the University of Utah's Hinckley Institute of Politics.
One: Participate in politics. Two: Do so in a decent and honorable way.

"He was constantly on the phone," recalls Seldin's husband, Charlie, a fraternity brother, and Rove wasn't talking to girlfriends, either. While other classmates were trying to get out of the draft, or protesting the Vietnam War, Rove was organizing causes in support of the Nixon government.
Rove spent only two years in college before embarking on what turned into a famed political career. He never obtained a bachelor's degree.

1. J. D. Williams is not exactly left-leaning ...

... plus he's very well respected.

2. Wouldn't you have to have an inkling of what ethics is

to resort to unethical behavior? This toad wouldn't know ethics or morality if they bit him next to his turd blossom.

3. I'm more educated than KKKKarl Rove!

Very interesting.

KKKarl is the antithesis to decency and honor.

from wkipedia, Rove is a DROPOUT and it appears as if he was in school for deferment, but dropped out during the semester cause his number was up:

Vietnam War and the draft
In December 1969, the Selective Service System held its first lottery drawing. Those born on December 25th, like Rove, received number 84. That number placed him in the middle of those (with numbers 1 through 195) who would eventually be drafted. On February 17, 1970, Rove was reclassified as 2-S, a deferment from the draft because of his enrollment at the University of Utah in the fall of 1969. He maintained this deferment until Dec. 14, 1971, despite being only a part-time student in the autumn and spring quarters of 1971 (registered for between six and 12 credit hours) and dropping out of the university in June of 1971. (Rove was a student at the University of Maryland in College Park in the fall of 1971; as such, he would have been eligible for 2-S status, but registrar's records show that he withdrew from classes during the first half of the semester.)
