Karl Rove Reads My Tweets
It is surprising that so many celebrities and public figures are accessible through a simple online message service like Twitter. If you are a fan, Ashton Kutcher is just a tweet away. Last night, I started following Elizabeth Taylor (Dame Elizabeth Taylor). Under any other circumstances, it would be considered “stalking” to say that I am following Liz Taylor or Ann Coulter. But I am… with Twitter.
I also started following Karl Rove, “the architect” of the George W. Bush administration. Hang onto your popcorn, folks… Tonight, I received an email alert: Karl Rove (KarlRove) is now following your tweets on Twitter. What have I learned from Karl since I began following him? He usually Tweets at least once a day. He is not a fan of President Obama or the Obama policies. And…apparently, he wants my input. Karl Rove must have been impressed by my recent Twitter missives. I feel as though I have just been summoned to a meeting down in Crawford. Me, President GW Bush, Dick Cheney…and Karl Rove.
What can I tell them? I’m solidly in their corner. They know that. Do they want me to give the average Joe’s view on the state of the nation? I can do that. I can do that in 140 characters if I abbreviate. I’m going to start following Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and Brit Hume. I’m going to start following all the talking heads and hot babes of Fox News Channel. Maybe I will be invited to a great Christmas party at Rush Limbaugh’s house. Twitter – it’s networking using the latest technology.
I hope to keep you in the loop, as future blogs may mention things concerning my new friends. I’m in an exclusive circle. Karl Rove is following me, and only 74,907 other select commentators. I have to sign off now. I want to see if Michelle Malkin and Sarah Palin have accepted my friend requests on Facebook.

What I wonder is… what % of replies are from Karl Rove himself and what % are his handlers, I know from one facebook experience…. it was the Official page of someone famous that I know… but when replying back and forth in messages, it kinda of did not sound like the person i knew… So I do wonder.. what % of replies from the “famous people” accounts are actually them vs their handlers.
Till then,

Yeah, I wonder how many of these Tweets are actually written by Karl Rove. But, even if he is dictating this stuff, having even this much contact with celebs and politicos is an advantage over letter writing.
