So I came across a ticket thanks to my shady connections about three hours before Karl Rove spoke at Irvine. And I tell you — he may be evil, but he’s a genius.
Interestingly, during his recollection of the first few hours on Air Force One after 9/11 happened, he said the following:
“Eventually the President wanted to return to the United Sta–, er, I mean the nation’s capital.”
Did he just misspeak? I think not. The president was in Florida, right? They so went to Mexico.
Then I laughed, for he started to talk about the sanctity of the United Nations, after which he also said “We are in a war against Islamic terrorism.” Karl Rove, probably number three in an administration that has done untold damage to the credibility of the United Nations, talking about its sanctity. My friend sitting next to me said, “I love this guy, he’ll go anywhere just to win a point.”
Seriously, old Turd Blossom could convince you Hitler was just misunderstood if he wanted to. I want him to join the Penn Model UN team.
He is a seriously clever guy. And the problem with a lot of the liberal college kids here at Penn is that they are arrogant enough to think they can out-argue Karl Rove (quite a few of them were there). The very first guy went on a rant, calling Rove a cancer on America and a fearmonger. If the person who said that is reading this, I would just like to say that it’s not just that you are an idiot, it’s that you are such an idiot that if you were considered a representative sample of students at this University a visiting parent would ask for his money back. The same goes for your idiot friends. 9/10 of you are not smarter than Karl Rove. 9/10 of you may be a better human being, but not smarter.
This is the problem with us liberal elite. We think the right are all stupid. They are not — just very different (and some are very smart). The idiots who tried to catch Rove out yesterday embarrassed our university, because he tore them to pieces. And they were rude. You may hate him, but he was our guest. He was entertaining, even if most of what he said was bullshit.

Eric,
you are absolutely right. The problem on these “liberal” american campuses is that we are led to believe that anyone who would vote, work for, or tries to understand George Bush must be a stuttering redneck from the deep south. A man like Rove shows you that not only are their political strategies and theories well thought out, they do make sense - even if some don’t agree with them. The guys (and girl) who tried to challenge him on the war in Iraq, question Bush’s intelligence and speech-writing, or simply rant about his influence on American Politics really did nothing more than embarrass themselves and the whole Penn community. If they learned anything from their experience, I hope it is that an ivy league education doesn’t mean we know better than everyone else, nor does it give us the right to spit on someone who (like it or not) has accomplished more and has had more of a lasting effect on this country than most of us ever will.

Wow, Eric. That video is the most amazing thing I’ve seen in a long time.
Do you have any context at all for what’s going on there?
