Rove: "I don't want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas."

I'm betting this isn't the message the White House wanted to put out on immigration:
Karl Rove was quoted telling a group of conservatives he supports President Bush's immigration policies because "I don't want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas." ABC reports: "The White House does not deny that Rove made the remark but claims it has been taken out of context. ? Rove was not insulting those people in those jobs, the White House explained, he was, according to Perino, saying that every parent wants their child to have a high-skilled, high-wage job."
What's that saying about true colors. Oh yeah: I see them coming through, Karl.

Thanks, Karl, and by the time the Jim Webb Democrats are done with you... (cycle12 - 2/11/2007 7:17:39 PM)
That's what you'll be doing, if you're lucky!

Most sincerely,

Rove could have added . . . (JPTERP - 2/11/2007 9:19:56 PM)
"or fight in a war zone in Iraq". 

I'll be curious to see if the young Rove forgoes the "fight of our generation" and pursues other priorities when he turns 18.



What else could we expect from an elitist bastard like him (bladerunner - 2/11/2007 10:47:19 PM)


Might have the done the lad some good to see life (Catzmaw - 2/12/2007 6:33:09 PM)
from the other side of the mountain.  Now he's stuck with an elitist jerk of a father.  Can only hope he doesn't have the same attitudes himself.
