KKKarl blames You Tube (also gets heckled, heh, heh)

SAN MARCOS — At a forum today marking Communication Week at Texas State University, Karl Rove stepped clear of current events and withstood hecklers while tracing the history of White House communications from President Washington to the George W. Bush administration.

Presidents once communicated with Americans solely in writing, Rove said, with no president leaving Washington to give speeches until the mid-1800s. Today, he said, demand for information from the White House prevails around the clock, and the Internet has touched off an explosion of information sources — some questionable.

Referring to YouTube, the video site that's a must-see for many, Rove said: "That can disrupt anything. Just ask former Sen. George Allen."

Allen, a Virginia Republican, lost his re-election last year in the wake of an amateur videotaper catching him calling an audience member a name that few judged charitably.

(snip)

Later in his speech, an audience member called out: "What's wrong with the truth?" Rove did not respond.

1. Isn't YouTube great?
:loveya:

I'm surprised their server can handle the number of Republic lie videos that are uploaded on a daily basis.

I look forward to YouTube destroying the careers of many more GOP politicians such as that horrible bigot George Allen.
