Karl Rove is a Bigger Asshole than I thought !

Jake Tapper of ABCNews posted the following entry to his excellent Blog, Political Punch:

I HIGHLY recommend that you read it in it's entirety, but these are the juiciest excerpts:

ABC News' Christianne Klein reports that at a breakfast with Republican insiders at the Capitol Hill Club this morning, former White House senior aide Karl Rove referred to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, as "coolly arrogant."

"Even if you never met him, you know this guy," Rove said, per Christianne Klein. "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."

Followed by Jake Tappers own comments:

Interesting that Mr. Rove would use a country club metaphor to describe the first major party African-American presidential candidate, whom I'm sure wouldn't be admitted into many country clubs that members of the Capitol Hill Club frequent.

But the picture Rove paints is interesting. Who, pray tell, is Rove at this country club?

The guy telling funny stories near the band?

The charming president of the club's philanthropic arm?

The brainy guy with all the sports scores?

Or the guy who vandalizes your car and blames it on the kitchen staff?

Well said, Mr. Tapper! When's the last time that a guy (Obama) who gave up a cushy New York Corporate job to go work for squat as a community organizer, on the South Side of Chicago, was caught hanging out at THAT kind of a country club.

Rove came from the world of Direct Market Mailing which is a nice way of saying JUNK MAIL. My guess is that he winds up setting up a SPAM operation next. He'd fit in perfectly with those guys.
