Former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove, during a
speech at George Washington University last night, was interrupted
by a group holding up a sign reading "War Criminal."
Amid booing and clapping in the crowd, members can be heard yelling
"Tase 'em!" as the protesters are escorted out.
"Why is it that you think you evoke such a visceral reaction
in many of your detractors?" asks one audience member, curious
to know how said detractors would make a determination that Rove
was a "fundamentally bad human being" as a result of
his policy decisions.

"Look," Rove responds, "first of all, the tail
and the horns are retractable...Look: I'm a myth! I mean, I'm
like Grendel of Beowulf; I'm not often seen but people talk about
me a lot. I don't know."
Video of the speech is embedded below. More can be read at Think
Progress.
