A friend was flying out of the Honolulu International Airport the same day as Karl Rove, and shared this sad-funny story:
Karl Rove was actually in line ahead of us at security at the Honolulu airport… N pointed him out to me – I never would have recognized him, he looked just like any other washed-up sad-looking old white guy – and it seemed odd to me that someone so powerful would be having to stand in line and get searched just like the rest of us. But evidently a woman ahead of us in line had just approached him, asking him if he was Karl Rove. When he told her yes, she proceeded to tell him that her husband had been wounded while serving in Iraq, that she too served in the military, that her husband was now unable to find work, and that she held him (Karl Rove) personally responsible. She also called him a douche-bag.
