Trouble in Mayberry
Karl Rove gave a $40,000 speech at the University of Iowa on Monday. Turns out he may have been underpaid, as CNN reports he was heckled throughout his talk, and at one point, two students had to be removed for attempting to perform a citizen’s arrest on Rove. At the end of his speech, one student asked if they could have their $40,000 back. Rove said no.
In other news, while George McGovern is offering his tepid endorsement for Hillary Clinton, his 3 daughters, 1 son and 10 grandchildren are all working for that Obama fella. McGovern revealed this on Democracy Now!, with Amy Goodman, in a discussion where he also compared Eliot Spitzer to King David. Good stuff. You can watch or listen to free Democracy Now! archives online, here. Check it out. It’s like an edgy Jim Lehrer News Hour.
