Exclusive cell phone photos follow below of a chance meeting between Karl Rove and a progressive Anti-War, Anti-Bush activist at a D.C. Safeway supermarket on Memorial Day. The activist, Brett Kimberlin, is a director at Justice Through Music, which is a co-founder, along with The BRAD BLOG of the Election and Media Reform organization, VelvetRevolution.us. Kimberlin was recently featured in an article by the Lonestar Iconoclast, George W. Bush’s “hometown paper” in Crawford, Texas, after the release of his anti-war “Happy Springtime (Bush is Over)” song and video…which we highly recommend, by the way.
Rove took the time to pose for a picture with Kimberlin and his daughter, after which he sent us both the photos and the following, rather amusing description of the encounter…
He then asked what we were going to do today [Memorial Day], and I said we are going to remember all the troops that Bush sent to be killed in this godforsaken war in Iraq. He then asked where I was from and I said, “VelvetRevolution, we support regime change here at home.” He looked sick.
I then looked at what he bought and it was an entire shopping cart of toilet paper, Barq’s root beer, and Land o’ Lakes butter. That’s it. No food whatsoever.
The photos of Kimberlin and Rove, and his swell butter-transporting Jaguar, follow below…
This isn’t the first time The BRAD BLOG has offered exclusive photos of the ubiquitous Rove. In the Summer of 2005, from Crawford Texas, we posted photos of the White House operative and top Bush aide, smiling and glad-handing those who were camped out across from Cindy Sheehan’s “Camp Casey”, opposing her opposition to the war, in the wake of her son’s death in Iraq.
At the very same moment — between smiles, flashbulbs and attaboy’s for protesters who had recently been verbally assaulting Sheehan for her viewpoint — the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, which had struck two days prior, was destroying New Orleans. But at least Rove and his boss George, a few miles up the road, were all having a dandy time of it. Those exclusive Rove photos are posted here…
Rove is part of the ideology of war that results in what “moderates” would not fathom:
(Huff Po, emphasis added). Yep, we spend more on military weapons than all the other nations of the world combined and talk hypocritically of “peace”.
What Rove et. al. mean by “peace” is that which results when nations we invade and occupy stop struggling.
PS to post #1: We trained the nation that is the least peaceful (Iraq), and guess what our anointed government official there is saying about those troops we trained:
(Raw Story). What will it take for the “moderates” (heavy denial dems who still vote for funding Iraq civil war) and the right wing to get it?
M-fckr/’s on the atkins diet! That’s good, when in jail in the future, he’ll enjoy the rat stew, and the pruno diet better! Although it will cost a few packs of smokes.
Dredd #2,
Perhaps more publicity for the “IDEA” to re-register to change political party to “Green Party” or “Deny To State” might help. I went green myself. Although I can see the benefit of DTS. And I wouldn’t want to skew anyone from making their OWN decisions at this point.
But it *IS* time to cut the chain that binds us.
Karl Rove shops in a Safeway? You mean he’s actually human? I am suspicious. I think that must have been a body double, hired to make us *think* Rove is like the rest of us. The real Rove sits all day in a clamshell chamber, like Darth Cheney’s, receiving all his nutrients from the blood of freshly killed kittens.
truly amazing that Guckert wasn’t there with I.D. to vouch for the reason to buy the butter and toilet paper!
scenes of ‘caligula’ come to mind, with Rove being the
‘wide receiver’ and Guckert the ‘tight end’ there.
—a concerned ‘don’t tread on me’ INDEPENDENT or GREEN PARTY voter now….
Hahahaha hahaha hah.
Anyone full of as much shit as him obviously needs plenty of toilet paper.
LOL @ Dick Hertz
“This little piggy went to market…”
I don’t it get? WTF is with this so called war activist?
Getting a photo with Rove? and his letting his daughter stand next to the guy? Rove is a piece of shit, a lying piece of shit who is partly responsible for the deaths of thousands of people, including Americans, wake up
you fuckin idiots.
Nice going, guys!

Just a reminder that John Kerry first asked for a regime change here at home in March, 2003, to stop the war from starting, something the UN was unable to do, as many in DC were counting on.
Always against this war, despite the media, mainstream and alternative, trying to cast Kerry as something different.
Big assholes need lot’s of correspondence paper . . .
He goes back to work at the
WhiteWhat House, after shopping, and convinces preznit blush to stay in Iraq for 50 years.“toilet paper, Barq’s root beer, and Land o’ Lakes butter”
I just got red-lighted for terrorism at Wal-Mart for that combination! That’s lethal!
He bought the “collectors” Land-O-Lake butter, with the limited picture of Jack Abramoff screwing over the Land-O-Lake’s Indian girl on the box!
For all u greenies, have you learned nothing from 2000 and the danger of Nader’s ego? Work within the Democratic party for progressive change, at least until we get Instant Runoff Elections.
Then u can have the luxury of your self indulgence. Thanks to you (and the SC coup) this country has become a theofascist demockery in the past 6 years, since w/o Nader we would be celebrating the Gore administration instead of the 2000 AND 2004 W thefts.
