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."The White House stammers:
Rove was not insulting those people in those jobs, the White House explained, he was, according to Perino, saying that every parent wants their child to have a high-skilled, high-wage job.They play the "you took my words out of context" card here, but I ain't buying. There's a reason he chose to reference those particular jobs in his comment, rather than, oh, flipping burgers or working retail. And once again, a free pass in the MSM. Did anyone hear anything about this?
