From Wikipedia:
Leaves College for position in the College RepublicansSo much to read in just a few lines....
In June 1971, Rove dropped out of college to take a paid position as the Executive Director of the College Republican National Committee. Joe Abate, who was National Chairman of the College Republicans at the time, became a mentor to Rove.
Rove traveled extensively, participating as an instructor at weekend seminars for campus conservatives across the country. He was an active participant in Richard Nixon's 1972 Presidential campaign. As a protégé of Donald Segretti (later convicted as a Watergate conspirator), Rove "paints [Nixon opponent George] McGovern as "left-wing peacenik", in spite of McGovern's World War II stint piloting a B-24."
Vietnam War and the draft
In December 1969, the Selective Service System held its first lottery drawing. Those born on December 25, like Rove, received number 84. That number placed him in the middle of those (with numbers 1 [first priority] through 195) who would eventually be drafted.
On February 17, 1970, Rove was reclassified as 2-S, a deferment from the draft because of his enrollment at the University of Utah in the fall of 1969. He maintained this deferment until 14 December 1971, despite being only a part-time student in the autumn and spring quarters of 1971 (registered for between six and 12 credit hours) and dropping out of the university in June 1971. Rove was a student at the University of Maryland in College Park in the fall of 1971; as such, he would have been eligible for 2-S status, but registrar's records show that he withdrew from classes during the first half of the semester. In December 1971 he was reclassified as 1-A.
On April 27, 1972, he was reclassified as 1-H, or "not currently subject to processing for induction." The draft ended on June 30, 1973.
...here, we find him -- as the vicious, pernicious MC Rove -- jivin' on the darkies... sober. (At least everybody else was drunk!)
This passes for humor nowadays. He's been working his abused butt off for nearly forty years to accomplish this. Har de har har har... forget all those homeless, sick and miserable Katrina victims with no means to rebuild, I be down wid da hippity hoppers.
