The second sentence in that article says it all. Rove likes how Obama stayed on message etc. IOW, Rove has shown us once again, that like the MSM, he is all about "process". Interesting to me was rereading the article but replacing the Obama name with the Rove name. A fair amount of similarity.

Karl Rove: Elitist • February 10, 2007 \| What a stupid thing to say: According to a congressman’s wife who attended a Republican women’s luncheon yesterday, Karl Rove explained the rationale behind the president’s amnesty/open-borders proposal this way: “I don’t want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas.” Thankfully Mark Kirkorian, who also reported the statement above, gives Rove a good slapping around: There should be no need to explain why this is an obscene statement coming from a leader in the party that promotes the virtues of hard work, thrift, and sobriety, a party whose demi-god actually split fence rails as a young man, a party where “respectable Republican cloth coat” once actually meant something. But it does seem to be necessary to explain. Rove’s comment illustrates how the Bush-McCain-Giuliani-Hagel-Martinez-Brownback-Huckabee approach to immigration strikes at the very heart of self-government. It is precisely Rove’s son (and my own, and those of the rest of us in the educated elite) who should work picking tomatoes or making beds, or washing restaurant dishes, or mowing lawns, especially when they’re young, to help them develop some of the personal and civic virtues needed for self-government. It’s not that I want my kids to make careers of picking tomatoes; Mexican farmworkers don’t want that either. But we must inculcate in our children, especially those likely to go on to high-paying occupations, that there is no such thing as work that is beneath them. Exactly. Rove’s attitude is exactly the sort of thing that got the Republicans voted out of office in the last election. sayanythingblog.com There's nothing wrong with working with your hands and our leadership should understand that:
