DANCING WITH THE DEVIL

Who cares about Karl Rove’s dancing or rapping! Rap was like how many decades ago?

But check out his companions.

David Gregory, behind, on Rove’s right, plays the bulldog White House reporter, frequently irking press secretaries with his persistence. Sometimes you get the idea that the Gregory and the Bush administration are at loggerheads.

Obviously not so.

Presumably each of us has a list of people we wouldn’t appear to support in public. Clergymen photographed with Hitler probably rue it. Sammy Davis’ Nixon hug was too uncool.

I personally would include Karl Rove as someone so evil that I would never want to appear as anything but opposed to him.

I.F. Stone, they say, never spoke to government officials off the record, let alone danced with them on stage.
