Rove Gets Roved

With Karl Rove's Courage and Consequence (we read it so you wouldn't have to, here) flying off shelves, it was obviously only a matter of time before the Internet worked its magic with a video spoof. Et voila! The authors of a business-advice book, despairing of ever beating Rove through traditional, positive methods, decided to take the fight onto Rove's territory, launching an attack ad, ostensibly in Rove's style. Among their charges against him: his book's cover uses a French, rather than American, typeface; the book too heavy a burden for taxpayers to bear; and it's so long that it will destroy Americans' productivity. This is all pronounced gravely over an ominous soundtrack, of course. The ad also says the book doesn't have pictures, although that's false—the pictures are unusually good (on the other hand, some critics might suggest misleading statements are actually part of the Rove style). Anyway, the ad should be amusing for Rove fanatics and haters alike. (h/t Ezra Klein)
