“Arrogant”: The New “Uppity”

4/2/08, 5:08 pm EST

A week after Obama’s race speech, and we’re back to speaking in code.

Take it away, Karl Rove: “You can tell that he is arrogant, and you can tell that he’s a little bit angry, and you can tell he’s very dismissive.”

Lee Atwater would be proud.

(A special tip of the cap to, Ron Fournier of AP who birthed this meme.)

I saw Rove at the University of Iowa and he was like a county fair dunk-tank clown on acid; arrogant uppity and dismissive egging the crowd on. almost starting a riot and he smiled all the way through it.
Rove calling someone arrogant and uppity is like a turd calling a fart smelly. Maybe that is why George calls him “Turd blossom”?

Well, this may be a compliment, since Rove is the very definition of arrogance, as are most of those he (Bush) hired..

The “arrogant” meme is everywhere — and it’s so common in those “man on the street” quotes the press gets from pro-Hillary voters in Pennsylvania. It is most definitely code.

I thought we had stopped listening to Rove.
