Morning Vid: Rove Says of RNC Scandal Staffer, 'Get His Credit Card'

Jake Simpson Mar 30, 2010
Republican mastermind Karl Rove has shown a funny side on several occasions (witness "MC Rove"). The strategist-pundit let his funny side out on Monday's Tonight Show, where he bantered with Jay Leno and affably voiced his opposition to health care reform.

Rove showed some teeth when Leno brought up reports that the RNC spent company money at "bondage clubs," offering Republican officials some blunt advice.
Somebody ought to lose their credit card. Find that pervert, and get his card.
