The Karl Rove Memoir: He Was Beat Up By A Little Girl
Karl Rove has a new memoir out titled Courage and Consequence. In it he tells the story of how he became so passionate about politics and wanting to fight liberalism to the bitter end. One story gives particular insight into the man who many believed is the puppet master behind the modern Republican Party. At the age of nine in 1960 he was a self professed political nerd and wanted Nixon to beat JFK in the upcoming Presidential election. He decided to put a Nixon bumper sticker on the basket of his bicycle. That was until, get this, a little girl from his neighborhood who was a JFK supporter decided to beat the stuffing out of him bloodying his nose and his ego. Rove describes the incident as, “losing his first political battle” and says he, “never liked losing a political fight since.”
In an article about this subject the Gawker asks, “Who was this leftist girl child to give him a bloody nose? We must find this girl and make her into a folk hero … The little girl knew not what she did, that her fists would launch a thousand campaigns and a war in Iraq. All she knew was that Karl Rove was a snot-nosed punk and she could take him down with one hand tied behind her pigtails. And for that, we salute her.”
