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.
