Former top Bush aide Karl Rove didn’t get the friendliest of receptions at the University of Iowa Sunday, CNN affiliate KCRG reports.

Rove, who was paid $40,000 to speak at the University, was confronted with an at-times hostile crowd of 1,000, and was interrupted on several occasions.

At one point during the speech, Rove reportedly lashed out at some of the students, saying, “You got a chance to ask your questions later and make your stupid statements, let me make mine.”

Police also were forced to remove two people after they tried to perform a citizen’s arrest on Rove for what they said were his crimes while a member of the Bush Administration.

At one point, a person asked Rove if he has ever shed a tear over the war in Iraq.

“I shed a lot of tears and I have been inspired by many of the people who feel their son or daughter should not have to die in vain,” he replied.

Toward the end of the speech a member of the crowd yelled, “Can we have our $40,000 back?”

Rove replied, “No, you can’t.”

Radio Iowa also reports one audience member told Rove that MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann named him the “worst person ever.”

“Ever?” Rove joked. “Yea, worse than Hitler, worse than Stalin, worse than Mao and worse than the person who introduced aluminum baseball bats.”

McCain should bear in mind some of his staff might not mind speeding the ascension of the VP. “and if the stars REALLY line up, maybe Dick “Emperor Palpatine” Cheney will find a nice secret bunker waiting too…”

Cthulu will find him anyway.

McCain should bear in mind some of his staff might not mind speeding the ascension of the VP.

Better to get him on your side. Look at it this way: if Karl Rove is up in your penthouse flinging poop off your balcony, he’s obviously not throwing any at you, is he?

Keep the gains (losses) of the Bush administration rolling... I fear the possibility of a McCain presidency more than just about anything else that could happen to this country.

Do you think he knows Jeff Gannon?
