Rove faces cynics in Aspen
Weight gain is the main problem at Guantanamo Bay, the Bush adviser tells a groaning audience.
By Troy Hooper
Special to The Denver Post

Aspen - A polarizing figure, presidential adviser Karl Rove is accustomed to criticism. He is also used to getting laughs. Speaking in liberal Aspen at the annual Aspen Ideas Festival, Rove encountered his share of cynics.

- snip -

He downplayed the poor treatment of prisoners in Guantanamo that has been widely publicized.

"Our principal health problem down there is gain of weight, we feed them so well," he said as many in the audience shook their heads and groaned in unison.

Rove acknowledged the tough times he receives in Aspen. He told a story about a man who scowled at him and yelled, "Go home!"

"I am!" Rove said he shot back. Rove was born in Denver and spent part of his childhood in Arvada and Golden. His father was a geologist at the Colorado School of Mines.

Ha, ha. What a witty response from a fascist war criminal.

13. Imagine the sci-fi possibilities of sentient groins attacking Rove
groaning in their devouring hunger...

Yes, I'm odd.

9. I got it. Thought I had caught it before it posted, but I guess it didn't work.
Groining would have been something to see, too.
