Karl Rove: Courage and Consequence [1] is a grassroots funded [2] compilation of rock songs released on March 3, 2010 [3] in anticipation of Karl Rove's similarly titled memoir. The subtitle of the record is The Unabridged Audio. It was conceived as "an anticipatory sonic recollection of the gross misdeeds attributable to Rove over the past decade".[4]
It is both a compilation album and digital download package, as well as a direct lampoon of Courage and Consequence: My Life As a Conservative in the Fight written by Karl Rove. Project: Courage and Consequence [5] was conceived of, in tandem with the compilation LP to Google bomb[6] the memoir of the similar title and "mess with the search results" [2]
