Darth Rove

I just saw the movie "Bush's Brain" about Karl Rove. Amazing. I am in absolute awe of Karl Rove. The man is a genius. An evil genius to be exact, but a genius nonetheless. The man just wins elections. The tactics he uses are fucked up, but he gets the job done. Rove made GWB presidential. Rove was able to nullify the military record of John McCain, Max Cleland, and John Kerry as a political asset. It was truly amazing to watch someone so good at what they do. I have an idea of doing a lesson around this movie, where I dress up as darth vader... well get the mask at least and then talk about power and manipulation. Then use examples of Karl Rove as a master manipulator.
