Karl Escapes Citizen’s Arrest, Natch

If that C&L video is the one from the SF tv station’s report, my fave part is where Karl tries to lecture George Mitchell against negative campaigns (by quoting a dumb “quip” that Kerry made) and Mitchell and the audience start laughing at him. Karl sounds so pathetic. He knows he’s old news.

I give that woman such huge props for the balls it took to do something we’d all LOVE to do.

One element that draws my attention is Senator Mitchell’s gaze. He’s not looking at the “action”, where my own eye first went upon seeing the photo and the video; he’s looking at Rove. It reminds me of two sports analogies:
Consider how Madden watches a play during a particular down, and then comes back to help us see why the run covered 7 yards, or 2 or none.
The other is my own ability to help my Little League players to see a play during a game. In Spanish there is a saying that the Devil knows more for being old than for being the Devil.
The Senator “sees”.

…Up on the stage walks a well-dressed woman, name as yet unknown. First she complained that there was no woman on the panel. Then she drew out handcuffs and tried to arrest Rove for treason.

Hell hath no fury like a woman adorned ;-)

When I saw the video it seemed to me that Rove was prepared for it as though he had imagined such a scenario taking place, even practiced for it, and felt satisfaction in his ability to remain composed, even bemused, swatting her off as though she was nothing more than a flea.

“Karl and George couldn’t get a date to the dance.”

Typical, intolerant liberal idiot. “If you don’t agree with me I’m going to shut you up, using force if necessary”.
Reminds me of Shrill Sheryl Crow trying to get in Rove’s face at the correspondents dinner and getting bitch slapped for her efforts.
