Karl Rove, the former political advisor to President George W. Bush, spoke to a sometimes adversarial crowd of about 1200 last night at the University of Iowa. Rove was often interrupted by the 200 vocal protesters who attended the event. "You've got a chance to ask your questions later and make your stupid statements," Rove told the protesters as the event's moderator struggled to maintain order. "Let me make mine."

Rove defended the war in Iraq. "I know this is a controversial war and I'll defend it and you're happy to ask whatever questions you want about it, but I will tell you this: you cannot help but meet with people as I've met with over the last five years and see the passion and commitment...how they their loved ones felt about the mission they were given," Rove said.

Why is this person not in a ORANGE JUMP SUITE, one reason is that the CORPORATE CONTROLED MEDIA has his BACK. The next war that ROVE and BUSH and his Crime Family are planning is THE IRAN war, now that Adm FALLON is gone. Then McCain will take over.

I would have asked him how he managed to dupe every left-wing nutjob into thinking he was responsible for GW winning the 00 and 04 elections through some kind of subterfuge where all along it was just the stupidity of the Democrat party. And then I'd ask him if he reads the posts on Huffington Post written by the aforementioned nutjobs. You people crack me up! McCain in '08. Four more years!

I would be so pissed if any university I was paying tuition to gave this blowhard $40,000.

I would ask him why he is refusing the call of his country and ducking a subpeona. Then I would ask him whether or not outing a CIA agent is treason and does he consider himself a traitor or a patriot for doing it....

Rove doesn't deserve any written space nor time on air/tv. He's a useless human being that discredited the office of the president. What a sickening shame that he'd make those remarks in Iowa.

I would love to ask him why Jeff Gannon stayed at the Whitehouse on at least 11 occasions, I would like to ask him if he was involved in the phone jamming antics in NH in 2002, or taking down an Alabama Democratic governor. Did he make a deal with Joe Liberman, shifting finical support away from a joke of a Republican candidate? Did he out a CIA operative and the front company she worked for, dealing with WMD issues in Iran. Was he secretly appointed as the reconstruction czar for New Orleans reconstruction? How about marketing the Iraq War, so George W. fight suite could strut across the deck of the Abraham Lincoln. His connection"s to the not so swith-boat-vets who were financed by wealthy oil whores in Texas. Dose the holy rollers leadership knows that he is a closet case and so and so on.

Reminds me of a time during the Clinton administration when Madeleine Albright was speaking at Harvard. After a question that didn't assume she walked on water, she told the student, "you shouldn't even be going to Harvard." Of course, since Rove's evil incarnate, the bar's a bit lower on the campus that recognizes he's swine.

When he chose this road as a speaker, he certainly realized that he would have more bumps than most. He doesn't like the chaos the protesters cause? We don't like the global chaos he's caused. Suck it up and get over it, Mr. Rove!

I'm unable to grasp "the optics" of Rove "shedding quite a few tears" over the Iraq War and then working ad nauseum to support/promote/rationalize it. Call me a dumb and blind taxpayer. I can see Rove crying over being poster boy for *Who Killed the Republican Party?*

"You've got a chance to ask your questions later and make your stupid statements... Let me make mine."

Admission is the first step to recovery.

Well, let's try this again, about why Karl Rove deserves -- at least -- heckling.

More United States men and women were killed yesterday in Iraq; more Iraqi citizens were murdered.

One of the men who planned and implemented the invasion of Iraq, who still spins the invasion and occupation as a success, should himself be made to serve in the US military. He should be deployed, redeployed, and redeployed again -- to Iraq.

Perhaps after actually SERVING his country, not just SPINNING his country, Karl Rove's understanding of death and dying might be elevated. Might be. Maybe not.

I just hope to Christ that this "evildoer's" kharma catches up to him and he has to use the 40 G's to help pay his lawyers fees --- before they lock the no good bastard up , forever.
