Karl Rove: Rap Parody Promoting Obamacare 'Crosses The Line'




Hey Karl (you POS), which 'line crossed' would that be,... a white line maybe?....





Karl Rove is having a sad over a new rap parody of Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It like It’s Hot” that promotes Obamacare, saying it “crosses the line." The video directs viewers to Covered California-led efforts TellAFriendGetCovered.com and promotes #GetCovered, Alphacat is featured impersonating President Barack Obama rapping about the healthcare law.


“So don’t stand and diddle, my health care’s the shizzle. It’s chock full of top notch health care provizzles,” according to the lyrics.


“I worry about something that seems aim to glorification of the commander-in-chief, the president of the United States as opposed to simply advocating young people go out and sign up for this entitlement program,” Rove said Thursday on Fox News’s On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.


“This disturbingly gets too close to the line. I think it, in fact, crosses it,” continued Rove. “Could you imagine if such a thing had been run by George Bush or Bill Clinton or Bush 41 or Reagan?” Rove asked. “‘I have two terms, I’m really cool, I’m really hip" How much public outcry there could have been?”



Someone, quick, call the Waaahmbulance...........

To urge young people to disobey the law and not get health insurance, but that crosses no lines the cons can think of.....cons are idiots and supreme hypocrites.

... if such a thing had been run by George Bush or Bill Clinton or Bush 41 or Reagan ...

... does he think the President is somehow "running" this video himself?

Presidents don't really control all depictions and parodies of themselves.

Did Obama have anything to do with this in fact? Other than providing the inspiration? Was this thing "run by" Obama?

putting out a video for the press club depicting himself searching the white house high and low for WMDs. Or reading "The Hungry Caterpillar" while the country was attacked. Or getting CEOs to dress as their minimum wage workers as a backdrop for your boy Bush. Or when Bush flew over Katrina with birthday cake on his breath...when Kanye West hurt his feelings on live TV. Har har. That must have left a mark, eh Karl? Or the one where Colin Powell stood in front of the UN while he waved a bottle of yellow cake uranium he claimed Saddam had anything to do with. There are some film clips just seared into my head, Karl. Crawl back in your hole you extract from a skunk's anus.

Yeah, KKKarl Rove, the Wunderkind who arranged crap like "Mission Accomplished" and Bush carrying around a plastic turkey acting like he was feeding the troops.

Thinking Bush I or II or Reagan were cool. We're completely safe. Clinton, maybe so. He did play the sax.

I see that Rove has decided to not take a vacation from always being wrong. Too bad. It would have done him some good.

So what is there left to do but to declare "cool" is now "uncool"?
