Karl Rove and Glass Country Clubs

Via Steve Benen:

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.”
Ummm...Mr. Rove...Many of us liberal elitists have never been to a country club. Consequently, we do not, in fact, "know this guy". Since you seem to be a country club expert, what other Obama characteristics should we look out for that indicate that he belongs in your club? Also, when did your club finally start allowing African-Americans? Just curious.

That is hilarious! Seriously?!?! If you're going to stereotype the man he's actually the nerdy kid in every movie about high school (black or white) ever made! Good Lord.

Thanks for that laugh :-)

wng: Thanks to Mr. Rove for said laugh. His time with his family has apparently been replaced by time for self-parody. Agreed on Obama's nerdiness. The press has determined that Obama's arrogant. Seems to me that he's just weirdly socially awkward. It's not his fault that the press doesn't get his jokes.
