How many 47 year olds are youngsters?
Bush referred to meeting Rove when they were youngsters just starting out, 14 years ago. I guess some of us are really, really late bloomers!

1. You're Only Young Once...
... but you can be immature all your life.

A friend of mine says that, and he's pretty smart, so it must be right.

3. I think Henry Hyde was still having his "youthful indiscretion" at that age. nt

4. Silly question. Depends on who you're asking.
I'm guessing you're pretty young, because once you get on in years, a lot of people become "youngsters".

7. It's a LIE. They met in the 70s, and Bush and Rove traveled with Lee Atwater

throughout the south in the 80s as dirty tricksters, that's how they knew exactly what to do in SC in 2000 with their ARMY of operatives in place there for two decades.

They used to enjoy the strip clubs along the way, too.

14. They met when Bush was in the Guard.
Edited on Tue Aug-14-07 10:44 PM by JDPriestly
Rove stated that he remembered what Bush was wearing on that famous day. Do you remember what your husband/wife was wearing the first time you met him/her. I mean, that must have been some serious crush -- and it has apparently lasted for over 30 years. Wow! Now that is a serious relationship.

My inner child is older than 47!!

18. * can't remember anything prior to 14 years ago.
He probably can't remember much since that time, either.

22. I'm 47
About to turn 48 and I am a YOUNGSTER!!!!!!!!

But Karl Rove is not. He's as old as the hills. In guile.

It's all relative, I guess. To my 73 year old mother I am a mere child.

Karl Rove never was a child. He is a mutant!
