Karl Rove Once Got His Ass Kicked By A Little Girl… Really
Karl Rove is a fascinating sort of swine.

He’s agnostic, yet Rove managed to win the hearts and minds of many-a Christian in Bush’s thumping endorsements by the Religious Right.

His beloved stepfather is gay, yet Rove played a key role in orchestrating the most shameful gay-bashing campaign in America’s history just before the 2004 presidential election — and it worked to his favor.

He seems to exist in this space between reason, power and insanity, without any air of regret for the damage his politics and maneuverings have brought upon his countrymen.

At age 9 — and already a political nerd — he became a spirited supporter of Richard Nixon in the 1960 presidential smackdown against John F. Kennedy. So intense was his devotion that he landed a coveted Nixon bumper sticker and displayed it proudly on his bicycle basket — until a little girl in his neighborhood who favored JFK beat the stuffing out of him, bloodying his nose and ego. “I’ve never liked losing a political fight since,” Rove writes.

Is to exact his revenge on that little girl?

Great.

For years and years and years.

7. What an amazing coincidence. The BFEE has been the beneficiary of soooo many
of these unfortunate "Accidents".

I remember when this happened, but I didn't get all the details.

8. Reminds me of a poem Calivn Trillin wrote about Richard Perle.
http://www.thenation.com/doc/20020916/trillin

Richard Perle: Whose Fault Is He?

Consider kids who bullied Richard Perle--
Those kids who said Perle threw just like a girl,
Those kids who poked poor Perle to show how soft
A mamma's boy could be, those kids who oft-
Times pushed poor Richard down and could be heard
Addressing him as Sissy, Wimp or Nerd.
Those kids have got a lot to answer for,
'Cause Richard Perle now wants to start a war.
The message his demeanor gets across:
He'll show those playground bullies who's the boss.
He still looks soft, but when he writes or talks
There is no tougher dude among the hawks.
And he's got planes and ships and tanks and guns--
All manned, of course, by other people's sons

9. Is that why he became a Republicon Chickenhawk?
Is that why all the vast horde of Republicon Chickenhawks (Cheney, Rove, Rush, Hannity, Lott, DeLay,Boehner, Gingrich, O'Reilly, Beck, etc. etc. etc.) weaseled out of service to the United States of America?

10. Rove uses hate as a tool. You dont have to believe in the tool.
Rove likes to hurt people because he can. It's not personal.

13. A plane crash silenced the guy who could land Rove in prison
http://www.maxim.com/humor/stupid-fun/86265/mysterious-death-bushs-cyber-guru.html

The plane, it was said, had been sabotaged and the pilot murdered to cover up the GOP’s alleged theft of the Ohio vote in the 2004 presidential election. At the center of this plot was the Saratoga’s pilot, a prodigiously gifted IT expert named Michael Connell, whose altar boy charm and technical brilliance had made him the computer whiz of choice for the Republican Party. Left-wing Web sites openly referred to Connell as “Bush’s vote rigger” and claimed that his fingerprints were on all the most controversial elections in recent history. There were dark whispers of electronic pulses or sniper fire being used to bring down the plane—a black ops attack designed to keep him from testifying against his former cronies. Right-wing bloggers and talk show hosts derided such claims as the twisted delusions of liberal nut jobs and tinfoil hatters. The mainstream press sat on its hands.

17. I think one time someone asked Fox what would become of Alex P. Keaton
Fox's reply was that Alex would eventually become a Democrat.
