I can’t say that I’m sorry to see this year go away. The year started out with such promise, with a brand new president but ended up being the year of horrible recession, angry townhallers, celebrity deaths and celebrity/politician sex scandals. Here’s hoping that 2010 is better than 2009!
This week we found out that champion of traditional marriage Karl Rove just had his second divorce. To the folks on Twitter, this was an opportunity for snark and Newsweek captured some of the best under the hashtag #RovePickUpLines:
Here are a few favorites (be warned–some of them are a bit bawdy):
@JamesUrbaniak: They call me the bush advisor #RovePickUpLines
@Spidey004: I’d like to pre-emptively invade *your* sovereign state. #RovePickUpLines
@reelquinn: “Is there a leak in my administration, or am I just happy to see you?” #RovePickUpLines
@MikeHasTweets: Let’s make a rumored illegitimate black baby. #RovePickUpLines
@JC_Christian: Ever seen a war criminal, naked? #RovePickUpLines
@Dajbman22: Come on baby, waterboarding isn’t torture, its more like light bondage… #RovePickUpLines
@Ali_Davis: “Shall I pick you up at 8:00, or would you prefer to be the subject of a vicious smear campaign?” #RovePickUpLines
@kasper_hauser: I’d (wire)tap that. #RovePickUpLines
Don’t forget – it’s the last day of 2009 and some candidates need money to close out the year on a high note. If you have some money to give and feel like spreading some wealth today is a good day to do it. I’m planning on giving some money to John Carney today.
