CRs to Bring Karl Rove to Call, Campus Liberals Go Into Full Freakout Mode
The Cornell University College Republicans have announced that they will be bringing former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove to Call Auditorium on Wednesday, April 13. Rove, known for his political prowess as the “architect” of President Bush’s 2000 and 2004 victories, will be discussing, among other things, the 2012 presidential race.
As soon as the CRs put the announcement up on Facebook, campus liberals sprang into full freakout mode. If there was any doubt that Bush Derangement Syndrome, as Charles Krauthammer so poignantly dubbed the phenomenon, would be in full force at the event, one only had to visit the comments section on the event’s page. While one student asked why Rove “wasn’t under arrest for war crimes yet,” another took a more balanced approach, saying, “I hate this man with a passion, which is exactly why I’m going to see this.”
If Rove’s engagement elicits a response at Cornell similar to that of his appearance last October at Oberlin, where liberal students attempted a “people’s arrest,” it’s sure to be a can’t miss event.
Tickets will be available at the Willard Straight Box Office starting Wednesday, March 16. They are free of charge. Additionally, there will be access at the door assuming undistributed tickets and no-shows.
