Karl Rove is coming to my university to give a talk. What should I ask him? First off, I'm not looking to be a complete d*ck and waste my potential question scolding him for his disgusting politics. I want to ask a legitimate, coherent question, because whether I like it or not he is an important political figure. Ideally, I am looking for a query that will simultaneously be good enough that the Republicans in the crowd don't immediately demand that I be tased, but also pointed enough to reveal his underhanded tactics, numerous scandals, etc.

I need your advice, hive mind!

Neocon Quote?

Political Memory Hole Filter: Can you help me find the quote? Before the Invasion, some neocon (?Wolfowitz?) was quoted in a major paper complaining how the CIA was always wrong because they were too conservative in their estimates... My google-fu has failed me. Anyone have the link or the quote?

What's the difference between Neo-Conservatives and Libertarians? I'm from the UK and over here we have Conservatives (Tories, ranging from right-of-centre to the far right-wing) and (left) Libertarians. I am aware that in the States there are Neo-Conservatives, Conservatives and (right) Libertarians (like SF author David Brin). But what are the differences between them?
