ROVE THOUGHT POST-9/11 WORLD SERIES GAME LIKE NAZI RALLY The president emerged wearing a New York Fire Department windbreaker. He raised his arm and gave a thumbs-up to the crowd on the third base side of the field. Probably 15,000 fans threw their arms in the air imitating the motion. He then threw a strike from the rubber, and the stadium erupted. Watching from owner George Steinbrenner’s box, Karl Rove thought, It’s like being at a Nazi rally. (p. 277) The New York Times and the ADL are going to go bonkers over this. Not that Rove did anything wrong, but Republicans are not allowed to use the word Nazi in any context. Only Democrats are, and only on one occasion: When describing Republicans.
I can't believe the administration was dumb enough to let woodward hang around.
Re-read it. Rove "thought." Artistic license, in my opinion. WOODWARD thought it sounded like a Nazi rally, and stuck it in Rove's "thoughts."
Did ANYONE think the World Series sounded like a Nazi rally? (Except the DU people, of course.)
