Karl Rove couldn't even BUY a date
:rofl:

(as reported by Keith :) )


Education Secretary Turns Down Opp To Date Karl ‘MC’ Rove

Over the past year, Karl Rove has proven himself to be a negligible dancer, an argumentative adversary and the unrequited pen pal of heretofore forgotten-about “musician,” Moby. But did you know that in the 80’s Rove wasn’t nearly the debonair “ladies man” you see in front of you today? In fact, Rove apparently spent his Saturday nights holed up in his room, wearing velour tracksuits, and listening to David Bowie records while eating frozen dinners and watching Chevy Chase host SNL, in the good old days before he stopped being funny.

And not dating Southern belle-slash-Secretary of Education, Margaret Spellings.

EDUCATION Secretary Margaret Spellings got blindsided by the Washington Post last week when she went in for an interview about the state of the nation’s schools and was first asked to explain why she turned down President Bush’s deputy chief-of-staff, Karl Rove, for a date back in the early ’80s. Pausing to get over her shock, Spellings responded: “Have you met Karl Rove? He was so inept . . .”

Which almost made us like Spellings for a moment…until we remembered that she has helped draft, implement and enforce the ineffectual “No Child Left Behind Act” legislation, she’s been a key figure in the Bush administration for over six years, she’s a self-described “anal-retentive chowderhead,” and the only reason she turned down Rove (a.k.a. her “political protege”) was that she that kept hoping W. would finally come to his senses, ditch Laura, swoop Spellings off to Camp David, and murmur, “It’s always been you, Marge. Oh, and Condoleezza, of course.”
