Everything You Wanted To Know About Karl Rove, But Were Afraid to Ask

Goes by MC Rove in his spare time, and does THE dance. The Karl Rove dance.

Says "fabulous" a whole lot.

The first book he ever read was Greatest Moments in History.

Thinks patience is the most overrated virtue.

In an interview with Lee Davidson, he said: "There was a little girl across the street who was Catholic and found out I was for Nixon, and she was avidly for Kennedy. She put me down on the pavement and waled on me and gave me a bloody nose. I lost my first political battle."

Apparently was the proprietor of a pocket protector. Attended the University of Utah and was a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. Yes, he was a frat boy.

On December 8, 2004, Rove was named by Barbara Walters as the "Most Fascinating Person" of the year.

George Bush famously referred to him as "Turd Blossom," a Texan term for a flower that is borne out of cow poop.

Is responsible for Britney's shaved head. OK... maybe not.

For more quirky facts, go see Karl Rove talk about things on Feb. 20 at 8 p.m. in Irvine Auditorium.
