LOL Karl Rove Unexpectantly Signs His Book for DUer Larisa Alexandrovna

STEPHEN C. WEBSTER
BRAVE NEW HOOKS

Apr. 15 2010 - 4:05 pm

Just another boring ole’ Thursday when, out of nowhere … Karl Rove!

Karl Rove decided to drop by my neighborhood for a book signing and I found out about it just as the event was starting. Naturally, I couldn’t resist going to meet the guy.

I know, I know, this would evoke a million questions, maybe even some righteous anger in many people. But not me. No, I had a better idea. I would be respectful and act my expected role, just another patron buying a gift, for a friend.

So, how does one go about tossing a cog at the most evil political mastermind since Kissinger? My first inclination was to throw a shoe. Yeah, that’d make headlines.

But no, I can do better. This was a Barnes & Noble book signing after all.

- snip -

“That’s Sean Hannity! her mother said. “He’s on the news, he’s a journalist who reports the news. Can you say that?”

“News!” the little girl cheered, flinging her arms into the air.

“Your uncle Gus got a photo with Mr. Hannity,” the woman continued. “He’s such a nice man.”

“Sean Hannity!” the girl chirped, twirling around with a giggle.

- snip -

It was my turn. I approached Rove, smiling with hand extended. Instead, he points at my shirt.

“Hey, what’cha got there, guy?” he asked me. “What’s that?”

I took a breath.

“RawStory.com, sir. It’s … a news web site. We’re … You could say we’re big fans of yours.”

He opened the book, page marked with a post-it note bearing the name he should make it out to: “Larisa Alexandrovna.”

He looked at me and blinked, then took his first glance at the note, pausing for what seemed five to seven seconds just glaring at it.

- snip -

For those of you who don’t know, Raw Story investigative news editor Larisa Alexandrovna was one of the reasons why the political prosecution of former Alabama Democratic Governor Don Siegelman came to light: a case which would later serve to illustrate how Rove’s politics infected the Justice Department, the investigation into which resulted in, well, you remember.

She also covered the Valerie Plame case, exposed the Bush administration’s covert ops in Iran, ripped holes in the official 9/11 story and was first to verify the location of a CIA black site in Poland.

So yeah, bet your ass that’s not an unfamiliar name to a former Bush administration bigwig.

- snip -

This one’s for you, Larisa. ;O)

39. There's always the risk that Rove would ENJOY that!
(Turd Blossom's got to be a total submissive when he lets what's left of his hair down).

29. Was his hand soft and fleshy?
Looks like he's never labored in his fucking life. And the temptation to crush his little fingers probably was pretty strong.

47. Rove has a look about him
that reminds me of the Nazi gas chamber guards who pushed their victims into the death chambers and locked the doors.
Is Karl Rove SS?

I would have worn stilettos, tripped and broken one of his toes. Oops!

30. The liberal (truth-telling?) web obviously ain't in "Bush's Brain" Rove
Amazing how Rove actually just took photos/signed autographs with everyone even with T-shirts with Raw Story logos. Because that one mother told her young daughter that Sean Hannity was a legitimate journalist (but chooses to be an asshole during the final product), the Raw Story guy had to be more honest and say that Raw Story was actually a legit news site.

to get his Bachelor's degree.

It's never too late to get a basic education.

37. BigTime K&R Larisa Alexandrovna.
Thank you for your UNENDING stellar efforts.

Add on to the snip 'for those of you who don't know' about Larisa...from the article...


snip....

"She also covered the Valerie Plame case, exposed the Bush administration’s covert ops in Iran, ripped holes in the official 9/11 story and was first to verify the location of a CIA black site in Poland.

So yeah, bet your ass that’s not an unfamiliar name to a former Bush administration bigwig.

This afternoon, I’m certain, absolutely certain, he recognized who the book was being made out to.


This one’s for you, Larisa. ;O)"




You fucking rock Larisa, from Alyce.

49. He should have had something like "Sign here to surrender to citizen's arrest warrant: ______"
Edited on Fri Apr-16-10 08:46 AM by cascadiance
on one of the front pages of the book. Then follow it with the Miranda rights warning underneath the line for him to sign...

I wonder what he would have done then?

That still is pretty darn choice!

I think the next time I go to something like that with Sean Hannity maybe there, I'd take a douche bag package to have him sign that instead...

50. I would have been tempted to at least sneeze right in his face
after he signed the book of course, and act innocent about it. Just really let one fly - maybe chug some hot sauce before going in or something to really loosen it up.
