What a card. Is this any less offensive than looking for WMD under his desk?

Headliners Club roasts Rove
Presidential adviser takes ribbing from both sides of aisle.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Austin Headliners Club, members roasted a prolific hometown newsmaker: presidential adviser Karl Rove.

Since it was opened decades ago, the Headliners Club has been a high-cotton watering hole for Texas' press and politicians — where folks made news whether they meant to or not, amid the heady mix of free-flowing liquor and ideas. Both were in overdrive Thursday night.

Mark McKinnon, who developed President Bush's media campaign in 2000 and 2004, led the audience through a slide show of some of the "best of Karl" moments, including one wintry day on the campaign trail when Rove got into a snowball fight with the national press corps' bus. McKinnon also produced a video message from Bush, who had a "to-do list" for Rove for the next three years: to "sign the first edition of my new book, 'Inside Karl's Brain,' " to "take Barney to drug-sniffing training at Homeland Security," and, finally, that "I hope you finally finish reading the Cliff Notes of the Constitution."

The friendly ribbing came from both sides of the aisle.

Former UT Regent Lowell Lebermann brought down the house by noting that Bush's and Clinton's administrations shared a common weakness: "Two pudgy people in the White House who couldn't keep their mouths shut."

Rove was tickled and touched by the roast, and his voice broke while getting his own licks in.
