Karl Rove's Farewell Gift to the Seattle Times

The other day I had the story about the newsroom staff at the Seattle Times that reportedly cheered upon hearing of Rove's resignation. Rove responded to the cheers as reported by Howard Kurtz:

In an embarrassment to the industry, some staffers at a Seattle Times news meeting cheered when Rove's resignation was announced. To his credit, Editor David Boardman made the incident public and warned that staff meetings should not "evolve into a liberal latte klatch." Rove responded by sending a basket of cookies to the newsroom, with a note saying "my wife shares in your enthusiasm."

Very classy response by Rove. There's nothing like heaping hot coals of shame on your wannabe enemies.
