Rove taunted at University of Iowa
Posted: 02:00 PM ET
Rove spoke at the University of Iowa Sunday.
(CNN) ― Former top Bush aide Karl Rove didn't get the friendliest of receptions at the University of Iowa Sunday, CNN affiliate KCRG reports.
Rove, who was paid $40,000 to speak at the University, was confronted with an at-times hostile crowd of 1,000, and was interrupted on several occasions.
At one point during the speech, Rove reportedly lashed out at some of the students, saying, "You got a chance to ask your questions later and make your stupid statements, let me make mine."
Police also were forced to remove two people after they tried to perform a citizen’s arrest on Rove for what they said were his crimes while a member of the Bush Administration.
At one point, a person asked Rove if he has ever shed a tear over the war in Iraq.
"I shed a lot of tears and I have been inspired by many of the people who feel their son or daughter should not have to die in vain," he replied.
Toward the end of the speech a member of the crowd yelled, "Can we have our $40,000 back?"
Rove replied, “No, you can't.”
Radio Iowa also reports one audience member told Rove that MSNBC's Keith Olbermann named him the "worst person ever."
"Ever?" Rove joked. "Yea, worse than Hitler, worse than Stalin, worse than Mao and worse than the person who introduced aluminum baseball bats."
Cameras were only allowed to film the beginning of the speech.

--- Salon.comUpdate: Spitzer was scheduled to speak at 2:15 p.m. EDT, but as of this update -- at just before 3 p.m. EDT -- he had not yet begun his press conference. The Times has updated its story with new information. A "person with knowledge of the governor's role" believes that Spitzer is named in federal court papers as the client of an expensive prostitution ring, the Emperors Club VIP, that was busted last week, the Times says.

so dramaticMr. Spitzer gained national attention when he served as attorney general with his relentless pursuit of Wall Street wrongdoing. As attorney general, he also had prosecuted at least two prostitution rings as head of the state’s organized crime task force.
In one such case in 2004, Mr. Spitzer spoke with revulsion and anger after announcing the arrest of 16 people for operating a high-end prostitution ring out of Staten Island.
“This was a sophisticated and lucrative operation with a multitiered management structure,” Mr. Spitzer said at the time. “It was, however, nothing more than a prostitution ring.”
Oops, I am wrong. His wife is a blonde, so he hired a brunette.
According to CNN, which has a copy of the affidavit, Client 9 spoke to an agent for Emperors Club representative. He asked about arrangements and was told a woman named Kristin would meet him. "Great. OK. Wonderful," Client 9 said.
They negotiated over price. Client 9 agreed to pay $3600, but said he would consider an additional $1500. Client 9 gave a room number -- 871 -- and asked for a description. The agent said she was American, petite, pretty, brunette, 5'5", 105 pounds. Client 9 said she should come straight to the room.
Oh, it's a big scandal. Spitzer was quite a high-profile politician before he became the governor.
I heard a very astute observation today about the whole thing: If he had not been spending $80K on the expensive services and stuck to cheaper services, he might not have been caught. Sometimes being cheap can save one's behind. Hmm.
