And so Karl Rove reviews Walk It Back:

[S]tarts with a Euro Tech Pop thing and transition into a more peppy tune that’s easier to dance to and has a sound track that on YouTube is impossible to heard. Suspect it won’t make Casey Kasem’s Top 40.

Is Casey Kasem still a thing? Does Rove know Kasem the now deceased Kasem was an Arab-American? Does Karl Rove listen to dance music on the regular? To be honest, this all just raises so many more questions than it answers.

In any event, The National have responded:

Fuck you, Karl.
