4min and 7sec into this January, 1972 CBS report, you will get to witness Dan Rather interview Karl Rove, the Director of College Republicans.
Yes, the same Karl Rove.
Dig the sideburns, man.

Is there anything at all bad that this pompous shit was NOT involved?

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the House
not a Congressman was stirring, not even a louse.
The billfolds were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that Jack Abramoff soon would be there.

More of my lunacy below the fold

Remember the new conservative coalition that was to provide a "permanent Republican majority?" Today that pipe dream is mostly associated with Karl Rove, but originally it was envisioned by Richard Nixon as the fruit of his Southern Strategy. This strategy was supposed to retain the party's traditional Northeastern and Midwestern conservative base while reaching out to Southerners disaffected by civil rights and the role of Democrats in the demise of Jim Crow. It was designed to meld the Puritan tradition of small government and individual responsibility with the historical sense of loss and grievance that infected the South.
