Karl Rove speaks to graduates
http://www.trivalleyherald.com/Stories/0,1413,86~10669~2137534,00.html

<snip>

Rove, who said he never earned a college degree, was presented an honorary doctorate of humanities by Falwell for his "commitment to conservative ideas."

Rove also shared how he persevered in politics from an early age.

"At the age of 9, I put a Nixon bumper sticker on the wire basket in the front of my bicycle. Unfortunately the little Catholic girl down the street was a couple years and about 20 pounds on me. She was for Kennedy.

"When she saw me on my bike with my bumper sticker for Nixon, she put me on the ground, flattened me out and gave me a bloody nose," he said.

"Despite that beating I never lost interest in politics."
