Fox News political analyst and former marionette to President Bush's puppet, Karl Rove, invoked a curious metaphor the other day in his latest attempt to portray Barack Obama as an "out of touch elitist".
Rove was having breakfast at The Capital Hill Club (not a Country Club) with a group of Republican insiders. When the topic of Barack Obama came up, Rove referred to the Illinois Senator as "coolly arrogant".
"Even if you never met him, you know this guy," Rove said. "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."
Perhaps Rove was uncovering repressed memories from his youth at the Country Club as the lonely fat kid. Like Spalding from the movie Caddyshack.
I'm nearly certain that Senator Obama is not a member of a country club. I would presume it stands to reason that Obama has enough of a "tan" to probably be "overlooked" for membership at more than a few Country Clubs in and around the Beltway.
Let's say though, just for fun, that Obama was that guy Rove claims him to be. What would Obama, in full "coolly arrogant" splendor, say to Karl Rove at the Country Club?
Nothing.
Except maybe, just maybe, for the sake of perspective and a bit of bemusement, Obama would say to Rove; "excuse me, waiter. My beautiful date that you would never have a shot at dating in a million years and I would like to place an order".
"Just don't bring us that same crap you've been serving us for the past 7 years".

Karl Rove, you are so full of *&%$. Won't you come work for us?
-Fox News
Karl Rove must feel Obama is an elitist. He never finished college. This fat frat boy (Pi Kappa Alpha -a$$holes) didn't even take enough hours to be considereda full time student; just enough to avoid the draft. No wonder he and Bush get along.
Folks, I have a secret I think you should know. The job of President is so elitist, only one guy gets to do it any one time.
The President should be elite! Jefferson was a horticulturist, statesman, architect, archaeologist, paleontologist, author, inventor and founder of the University of Virginia. These kind of men don't even exist anymore, and if they do, they are too smart to run for president. When did we start electing men we wanted to have a beer with? When did we elect based on what church they go to?
I want a combination of Ben Stein, Richard Branson, and Walt Disney (minus the antisemitism of course). Is this too much to ask?
Before you go voting for someone that is just like you, look in the mirror, read your resume, and then punch yourself in the nose so you can begin to look past it.
Salon.com's interpretation of Rove's statement:
http://www.salon.com/ent/video_dog/comedy/2008/06/30/bateman_rove/index.html
Karl Rove was the man whose political career began by using a fake ID to enter a Democratic IL Treasure candidate's office to steal campaign letterhead. Karl "Christian" then proceeded to print and distribute the letterhead with offers of free beer and woman in hopes of disrupting the Democrat's campaign. (He failed/ Alan Dixon won the election) In my opinion Karl Rove is the face of the Republican party and just about everything that is wrong in America today.
