I work for an equipment distributor and received an email from the Associated General Contractors of America proudly proclaiming the Karl Rove would be keynote speaker at their annual convention on 3/14/12 in Honolulu, Hawaii. KARL FREAKING ROVE!
Things like this never cease to amaze me. This quote is from the email I received from editornv@agc.org
Keynote Speaker: Karl Rove
Wednesday, March 14, 2012
Karl Rove, former Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush
Rove has been described by respected author and columnist Michael Barone in U.S. News & World Report as “…unique…no Presidential appointee has ever had such a strong influence on politics and policy, and none is likely to do so again anytime soon.” Washington Post columnist David Broder has called Rove a master political strategist whose “game has always been long term…and he plays it with an intensity and attention to detail that few can match.” Fred Barnes, executive editor of The Weekly Standard, has called Rove “the greatest political mind of his generation and probably of any generation… He knows history, understands the moods of the public, and is a visionary on matters of public policy.”
Before Rove became known as “The Architect” of President Bush’s 2000 and 2004 campaigns, he was president of Karl Rove + Company, an Austin-based public affairs firm that worked for Republican candidates, non-partisan causes, and non-profit groups. His clients included over 75 Republican U.S. Senate, Congressional, and gubernatorial candidates in 24 states, as well as the Moderate Party of Sweden.
Rove writes a weekly op-ed for the Wall Street Journal and is the author of the newly released New York Times Bestseller, Courage and Consequence: My Life as a Conservative in the Fight.
I received emails from the same sender back in 2007 railing against Obama and campaigning for Mccain / Palin. Can you BELIEVE the nonsense in this email?!?!
