While speaking at a conference for hedge fund managers in Las Vegas, Republican strategist Karl Rove told black Democratic strategist Donna Brazile a joke about the Civil War to explain her right to vote.
"I did you a great favor bringing you into politics in the 1860 campaign and this is how you repay me?" Rove joked to Brazile, the Financial Times reported. "We're happy you got the right to vote but it wasn't your current party that was responsible for it."
The Times write-up did not specify in what session the exchange took place, but it did call the comment "patronizing and insensitive"; the author expressed concern that Rove felt the room full of financial honchos was a "safe space" to tell the joke.
Brazile reminded Rove that, as a woman, she would not have been allowed to vote for another 60 years.

Was it Stewart, Colbert or Letterman who used a big canned ham as a caricature of Turdblossom?
