The other day lowlife Karl Rove described Senator Obama as such:
Even if you never met him, you know this guy. He’s the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone who passes by.
And to think, some people call Rove a political genius! Anyway I thought I’d collect the funniest responses to Karl’s comment. Here ya go:
Mark Schmitt: ABC’s Jake Tapper posed the question, at the same country club, who would Rove be? The easy answer, of course, is “the guy who quit the club when it integrated.”
Chris Orr: Because when we think of country clubs we all think of their extensive black memberships, right?
Ezra Klein: I really like that when Karl Rove is talking to “Republican insiders,” he finds it easiest to illustrate concepts by referring to “types of people you might meet at a country club.”
Jesse Taylor: So, let me get this straight. The bad thing about Barack Obama is that he’ll go to a place full of uptight, snobbish pricks and alienate himself from them by mocking them. And he’s with a hot woman.
John Cole: When I think of country clubs, I think of the Enron crowd that puts folks like Mitt Romney and George Bush and Kay Bailey Hutchinson in office. But black liberals from Illinois named Obama?
