Rove represents the worst of the elitist GOP establishment.
Via NY Mag
…One week before the 2010 midterm elections, Rove took aim at Sarah Palin, questioning the wisdom of her appearance on a reality show, Sarah Palin’s Alaska, if she really wanted to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate. Palin lacked the “gravitas” to be president, went a subhead in the U.K.’s Daily Telegraph.
Rove later tried wriggling out of his comments, as well as observations he made in a German magazine that tea-partiers weren’t “sophisticated,” being unfamiliar, as Rove was, with intellectuals like the economist Friedrich August von Hayek. But Rove’s backhands weren’t accidental, nor was he the victim of outrageous tabloid reporting. When I bring up his statements about Palin during our interview, Rove says only that he wished he’d made his comments on Fox News instead—before going into a withering impersonation of Palin, recalling a scene from her TV show in which she’s fishing.
“Did you see that?” he says, adopting a high, sniveling Palin accent: “‘Holy crap! That fish hit my thigh! It hurts!’”
“How does that make us comfortable seeing her in the Oval Office?” he asks, disgusted. “You know—‘Holy crap, Putin said something ugly!’”
Karl Rove lacks the gravitas to be a human being
Was he ever NOT openly mocking her?
Hard to recall.
Rove is turning into more and more of a jerk every day.
Jealousy is so petty.
Tokyo thinks he’s still relevant.
Oh good. Now when Palin loses, we can blame Rove, the way he was blamed for Christine O’Donnell’s epic fail.
Rove will soon learn the Power of Palin, regardless of if she runs. She is NOT Christine O, who had no real army or experience. Palin, like Demint have an army behind them. When she decides to unleash them, Rove and his fellow Blue Blood Hacks will be sent running for the hills.
Rove is a scumbag. May his light and fame fade, as well it should.
Hey Karl, I assure you that plenty of Tea Party folks are quite familiar with the works of Hayek, von Mises, and Rothbard.
The right-wing Leftists like Rove and McLame just don’t get it.
I seem to remember a guy who made a movie with a chimp as his co-star. Didn’t seem to hurt his political career - he was loved by the people because of what he stood for. Sarah is cut from the same cloth.
Karl Rove is an operative for the global government and will trash anyone like Palin who stands for a sovereign America. Which is why he trashes conservatives all the time and supported a union hack like Mike Castle.

People have to understand that Rove and the Bush people would rather have Obama in office then someone like Palin.
Karl had his day in the sun as a shrewd strategist; he can’t convert to the new model. He is a pasty fellow who whispers in the ear of power- he has none himself.
He’s way behind the curve on this deal. He’s roadkill.
The establishment, on BOTH sides if the aisle, are scared absolutely to death of Sarah Palin!
The fact of which is, by itself, reason enough for me to support her.
Rove is an uneducated, funny looking, tubby clod. No wonder he is jealous of Palin. He also knows that a Palin Administration would outshine anything the Bush Administration could ever do. How embarrassing that would be for the little man.
Rove was criticized for ‘going on and on’ about O’Donnell after his buddy Castle lost...people told him to shut up, it was over - just wish her well and moved on!
If you can’t see the sour-grapes from him then you are blind.
