To proclaim that basically everyone knows the cast as the country clubs he and his klepto-conservative cronies hang out at.

Sorry, Karl, no, I don't know that guy at the country club because I, like 98% of the rest of America, don't actually belong to a country club.

I hope he trots this one out for the general public. I'm sure all your average Joes out there will know EXACTLY what he's talking about. I mean, we've ALL spent so much time at country clubs. Am I right?

that the party of wealth and privilege (and sniping) is now trying to make Barak Obama, the bootstrap kid, out to be the country club stereotype.

But then, they made a war hero into a traitor the last time around.

Can't fault them, though. It's tough to be a Republican talking about substance and issues these days. Seems they missed that bus.

By the way, the next time Rove paints this picture, someone should remind him of his quail and truffle dinners, or whatever the hell he dined Bush on....it certainly wasn't burgers and beer.

Puhleez.

On the other hand, I'm gratified that turdblossom recognizes class when he sees it.

...Karl Rove is an asshole.

That is all.

Rove would be the slightly sweaty fat jerk drunkenly trying to cop a feel of a waitress unlucky enough to be serving him.

Rove to his dinner companions: "You gonna eat your gristle?"

And Karl Rove is the guy hanging around the all-girls school sniffing the bicycle seats.

Allow me to quote Mr. Rove at the start of his love affair with the sociopathic young Bush:

I can literally remember what he was wearing," he said of an occasion in 1973: "an Air National Guard flight jacket, cowboy boots, blue jeans. He was exuding more charisma than any one individual should be allowed to have."

Maybe Karl's just having a hissy fit cause Obama is both too smart and too cool to fall for a fat-assed white boy in love with the 4th Reich.

Really! I think he has lost his way. Country Club my ass. Obama is not the country club type just like the rest of us for the most part are not.

I can't wait to see Rove and his lemmings fight back the tears as they watch the permanent majority dissolve into dust.

Maybe they can debate a philosophical question, since sophistry is all they will have to entertain themselves for the next decade: Can you dismiss someone as "coolly arrogant" without being coolly arrogant yourself?

Karl Rove would definitely know from arrogance. At least, the arrogance that comes from thinking one is above the law and lying without consequence. "Arrogance" is not a word I would associate with Obama, but if that's the biggest insult that Rove can come up with, I guess that's good.

So...is Rove going to conjure up images of an "illegitimate WHITE child" for Obama this election term?

Rove is trying to label Obama as a Franklin (McSame will be sketched as an Orthogonian). I am not sure how well this stuff plays anymore, but don't underestimate the meme.

I guess its useful to know what strategies and tactics Rove is trying out but I don't understand why what Turdblossom says over breakfast is news. It is gossip - not news. And since he is now being paid by Fox-news and informally working for McCain's campaign any gossip from him should be consdidered campaigning and should be treated with caution by any serious news departments.

On the substance of the quote- sounds like pure projection tinged with jealousy. I'm glad to see how desperate they are though :)

Actually, had I not read that it was Obama he was making that comment about, I would have assumed he was talking about the shallow end of the country club gene pool case of arrested development George Bush. Karl's very own creation.

But that, unfortunately, is no coincidence.

Karl's unexpected legacy to us is to have sharpened the scythe for the Obamabots to cut their own dirty campaign. With the same result.

We have revealed to us both times another empty suit that is the product of a lifetime of entitlement and assured in the presumptive notion that the White House is a privilege due to him. Now.

Both live in bubbles of cushy, insulated, True Believer territory.

BUT It wasn't George Bush who was stunned at the Price of Arugula. It was Obama.

That presciently telling seminal remark should re-surface as soon as the Swiftboaters start handing out free iceberg to the Wal-mart crowd that will need food subsidies if they intend to both drive and heat their homes on election day.

And don't you love it that it is that evil little teletubby of a Rovesputin cracking wise over exactly what he hath wrought?

As in uppity "N......"? Wow.

But you got to admit, working with all those crazy neoCons, Rove would know arrogant.

Actually, Obama is so far from a "country club" type as to make this really quite pathetically laughable.

I guess Rove is targeting the new under educated republican audience that watches FOX.

It's a pretty funny statement considering for decades country club clubs were hangouts for the worst bigots, and most members were white waspy republicans.

THANKS Karl.

THAT will resonate with the American Majority.

HAHA.

I feel so sorry for the republicans. They seem unable to process the fact that we finally have a candidate that won't be made into mincemeat in an election and is unapologetic about himself.

I guess that's arrogance.

Correction. I DON'T feel sorry for them.

Oh, that's good. "Obama is the snooty guy at the country club." As others have noted, this observation isn't exactly going to be rocketing around the beer joints of America. (On the other hand, I hope it does catch on among the MSM braindead. "Oh gosh, Biff, I totally know what you mean! There's a guy like that at my country club, who thinks he's above all the other members." Meanwhile, Mr. & Mrs. America ask each other, "WTF?")

You have no game, Rove. You never did. You were just a nasty, ruthless little ratfucker that happened along at the right cultural moment. Now, your products have sabotaged America, and 2/3 of the country wouldn't touch 'em with a barge pole.
