Rove the Horse Also Loses

Race-track loving politicos have taken note that a horse named Rove also lost big on Election Day—but at Churchill Downs, not Washington.

The four-year-old colt—no relation to Bush political adviser Karl Rove—went off 9th in the 2nd race at the famous Kentucky track on Tuesday, and finished dead last. “Rove was always outrun,” said the track’s own synopsis of the race, which occurred on a sloppy track. Unlike the human Rove, the equine version has raced six times and never won.

Provoking still more grins among the politically minded horse set is that the winner of the race was none other than a chestnut colt named…Special Interest. – Neil King Jr.

3. Sired by Pulpit.
I looked up Rove's pedigree, and his sire's name is Pulpit. Just sayin'....

4. The difference is...
Rove the horse will end up in a slaughterhouse for losing, Rove the jerk will end up as a lobbyist or some other government job and be fat, rich and slimy for the rest of his life.
