The following anecdote does not come from a left-wing blogger but from National Review Online’s The Corner. Karl Rove managed to be such a racist snob that he even offended that crowd.
According to a congressman’s wife who attended a Republican women’s luncheon yesterday, Karl Rove explained the rationale behind the president’s amnesty/open-borders proposal this way: “I don’t want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas.”
And I thought Rove just wanted to keep enough of the Hispanic vote to win elections past 2004. I had too much faith in him. He wants as many wetbacks here in Las Vegas cleaning hotel rooms as he can get. That way his son won’t wind up having to do the job. Never mind that they will eventually swell the ranks of the labor unions and empower Democrats. As long as he doesn’t have to endure seeing any white hotel maids.
