Entry: Rove Rage Sunday, July 17, 2005

I think there are very few people in the Bush administration more hated by Democrats and progressives and even more blindly defended by Republicans than Karl Rove. In the heirarchy of Bushworld, Rove commands staunch GOP loyalty, second only to the Democrusader himself. If Bush, Cheney and Rove were aboard a doomed sailing vessel going down in the deep blue sea (a wet dream for some millions of people) -- and there were only two life preservers available -- I feel the majority of GOP pundits would vote to hit Cheney over the head like a baby seal, if he didn't give Karl Rove his life preserver.

Now, before you go calling the Secret Service or the even more formidable group of jack-booted thugs at PETA about my "baby seal" remark -- please realize that it's just an illustrative turn of phrase. I want to state unequivocally that I don't support any violent acts upon our elected officials, or those fuzzy, cuddly-looking and doe-eyed baby seals. I don't support Dick Cheney wearing fur. He's a fat man. Imagine, how many extra baby seals would have to die to make him a fur coat?

Now, let's get back to the other fat man in the sinking ship. Karl Rove -- who I had just compared to Hermann Goring, founder of the Nazi Gestapo after his remarks last month in New York -- is loved by Republicans. He is given the main credit for both successful presidential elections of his fuhrer, George W. Bush.

He is lovingly called, "The Architect," by his GOP devotees and he's likely earned this man-love by the Bush Family even more than Osama bin Laden himself for the successful architecture of the political career of the troubled, idiot son, Dubya. The day after President Bush won re-election in 2004, he referred to Karl Rove as The Architect, and thanked him in his acceptance speech. PBS' Frontline show has even explored this pasty-pale phat political phenom architect in-depth.

I personally don't forecast anything untoward will happen to Karl Rove in the near future, unless a liposuction procedure or stomach stapling operation goes horribly wrong. Dubya-defenders and Rovians are spinning this latest controversy faster than the winds of hurricane Emily over the Cayman Islands, the jurisdiction in which Rove likely has many millions of dollars hidden in offshore bank accounts, anyway.

The pundit spin is immense. Media Matters is a fun place to see that. Republican crack whore, Ann Coulter, is playing her most entertaining peak game. Blame the messenger. She calls Ambassador Wilson, Clown Wilson on Fox and in her recent op-ed articles.

Man, I love watching this GOP boo-boo kitty on TV, sometimes. It's like watching a NASCAR race and knowing the odds are very good that there will be an entertaining crash. I watch her like that. I know if I even remotely watch her televised interviews with enough tenacity, someday I will witness that one last interview in which Crack Head Coulter has an aneurism and slumps over the desk on camera.

Truly, this Karl Rove CIA leak scandal brings back some old memories. I had just posted an unnoticed, but bizarre and snarky entry about the CIA itself called, "Spy Kids 3D - Game Over," when this situation first developed. Go read that entry. It might make you laugh in the tradition of you can't make this shit up (YCMTSU), or it might make you cower in paranoia and adjust your tin foil hat.

	J f Z July 18, 2005 03:12 PM PDT Not smacking the TV when I see Ann Coulter foamings at the mouth for another Nazi-biscuit is an ongoing exercise in practicing my attitude of post-election Zen Apathy. Besides, president Bush cleared this Rove nothingness up today at his press conference: "I don't know the facts. I want to know the facts." That much is clear, certainly. But I wonder why if not knowing the facts didn't stop him from authorizeing a pre-emptive invasion of Iraq, why he is so damn cautious to make a decision about Karl Rove now. He acts like a little kid whose lies are slowly, but surely revealed.


	Lyly July 19, 2005 01:04 AM PDT He IS a little kid, and a dumb one at that. A puppet. <rant>After I wrote the comment, Bush apparently got tough and said he'll fire anyone that had a criminal role in revealing Plume as an agent. Guess 41 finally made The phone call: "Rove has become too much of a liability to the party. Convince him to step down or your legacy is screwed" (and of course GDub nodded like the good boy he is). </rant>


	J f Z July 19, 2005 06:56 PM PDT At the end of the day, there are two things happening that irritate me about the Rove / Plame scandal. First, everytime these scandals happen, the media debates it using the talking points coming from the administration, and we're all lead down the path like sheeple. I've actually heard Republicans say, "Of course Rove did not commit a crime. He was simply trying to correct Matt Cooper from printing an incorrect story." (The incorrect story that Ambassador Wilson gave contradicting the administration's views about Iraq before the start of war) So we then see debates of the minutia of some federal statute. Did Rove commit a federal crime? Who the hell cares? The whole point of it IS that the Bush administration was lying about Iraq, and wanted the war, no matter what. By hook and crook, they told enough big lies to get the Congress and the people to jump on their war bandwagon. The fact that thy were willing to smear Wilson, or leak out the identity of his wife as working in the CIA should be no big surprise. The Bush administration blamed the entire CIA for bad intel, Tenet is gone, and they are "reorganizing" all intel agencies now. The second thing about it that irritates me is that a few hours from now, we may not even hear about the Rove / Plame scandal. Bush will be changing the topic of conversation in the media by announcing a Supreme Court nominee. Whether it is a three card monty by Bushworld or by a mind numbed media, the Rove thing will go away. Just like you didn't hear many people talking about "The Downing Street" memo since we could all fixate on Rove for a few days or so, this too will pass. White House spokesman Scott McClellan will likely be the only person to leave the administration in the wake of this Rove thang.


	Lyly July 20, 2005 01:17 AM PDT "...Bush will be changing the topic of conversation in the media by announcing a Supreme Court nominee." From your fingertips to the TV screen; The Imperial Chimp even pushed up the time from the originally announced 8p EDT to more like 5p EDT. ANYTHING to change the subject. Oh, and how do you like the latest robotic Bush nominee paraded in front of the press? If McClellan is anything like his mother, Carole Strayhorn, or at least, still influenced by her, you may be right about him. She's running for Gov'nor of Texas and has fought the bombastic Gov. Rick "Adios, mofo" Perry in the State Senate nearly every step of the way.
