You know the dumbest part of this is that Bilbo was the one who started the campaign to bring down Sauron. Perfect analogy! LOL!!!!
Rove was actually repeating an insult he had used in a Wall Street Journal op-ed entitled Clinton Wallops a Cranky Hobbit, on Wednesday, in which he roasted each flailing candidate with a small, crystallized gem of an insult:
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders came off as an elderly, dyspeptic Bilbo Baggins attending a British Labour Party meeting [Ed note: Haha, nice one]. Former Maryland Gov. Martin OMalley sounded like an overly earnest, slightly too intense 1950s ad man making a bad pitch. Former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee was as hapless as a puppy stranded in a hurricane. And former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb, probably sensing how inconsequential he is, was angry all night. Its hard to believe this crew will draw many viewers for future debates.

(34,108 posts)Bilbo was smart, hard working and got 'er done (as they say) when the shit hit the fan.
When things were good he was content, well fed, hospitable and non eruptive.
Sounds perfect to me.
Karl Rove, "It isn't fair, my precious, is it, to ask us what it's got in it's nassty little pocketsess? Apologies to Smeagol who was crazy because of circumstance and a ring not just a natural asshole.
