Rove Got Rejected

Karl Rove's ego must be inflated beyond belief. You can just seem him smirk when people call him Bush's Brain. The guy perfected his tools so that fear and manipulation catapulted him into the Republican inner circle and his boy into the Presidency for eight years. So when a girl rejects him, its gotta hurt. He got the power, he got the money, but Education Secretary Margaret Spellings didn't give him no.....

From The Huffington Post:

Poor Margaret Spellings!

The secretary of education was ready to talk student loans and No Child Left Behind when interviewed by Washington Post editors and reporters last week. So maybe she was taken aback when asked why she turned down Karl Rove when he asked her out in the early '80s.

(Rove later joked it took his ego "decades to recover.")

Spellings paused, then said: "Have you met Karl Rove?

"He was so inept and so inartful," she added. "I mean, I couldn't even understand."

Awww, poor bumbling Karl couldn't even get out the words "I like you, do you like me?" The young Republican guru was so good at being evil in politics, he couldn't turn it off to be sweet even for a little bit, or focus on how to deal with the opposite sex.

Even though she rejected him, it is interesting how incestuous the situation is. I mean, she's Education Secretary and he ran the political operations for George Bush. She's in the Cabinet and Rove practically is himself.
