It's as close to being unwatchable as anything else online. And there's a lot of stuff online. Karl Rove, former senior adviser to President George W. Bush, chief schemer behind Bush's 2000 and 2004 election victories and a recurring figure in multiple political scandals throughout Bush's presidency, turned into MC Rove at the 2007 Radio and Television Correspondents' Dinner. Following a painful interview with comedians Colin Mochrie (who's just as mortifying to watch as Rove) and Brad Sherwood, MC Rove performs the way he believes hip-hop artists would, which apparently involves a lot of hopping.

Clearly MC Rove hoped this scandalous episode would make you forget about all those other ones.
