MC Rove

In this video, taped at the Radio and Television Correspondents Association Dinner, Karl Rove gives the audience a lengthy performance in which he raps, or rather attempts to rap in duet with some other white guy in a tuxedo. To me at least, this comical performance really illustrates the extent to which Karl Rove is completely out of touch with social reality. That Rove himself would attempt such a stunt angers me because, coming from a man who has masterminded most of the egregious actions of the Bush administration, it seems as if he is trying to somehow humble, or embarass himself in front of the press in order to make good on all the bad things he has done. Instead, this stunt really illustrates Rove's desire and ability to manipulate the media and the public (remember the Plume scandal?) Obviouly, my political leanings influence my reaction to this video, but it seems to me that something is not right when Karl Rove is mocking rap and rap culture on stage in a tuxedo. True light is shed upon his nasty character by the gritty and ominous voice he uses to anounce that his name is "MC Rove."
All I can help thinking when watching this video is that the Black guy to the right of Rove must be thinking to himself "what the fuck is Rove doing?"
