According to Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post, Former White House Advisor Karl Rove sent a basket of cookies (and a bit of zing) to The Seattle Times employees, who openly cheered his resignation.

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.”
