In an interview with GQ last week, Karl Rove accused Barack Obama of falsely writing in The Audacity of Hope that “‘people like . . . Karl Rove say we are a Christian nation.'”

“I did not say that. I confronted him about it. At the White House,” Rove told GQ. Asked how Obama responded, Rove replied: “Well, first he denied that I was in the book! And then he denied that it said that I said that it was a Christian nation. And then when I pulled out the thing [he had a copy of the offensive page with him] and showed it to him, he sort of blah-blah-blah-blah-blah- blah-blah.”
