POLITICS: Karl Rove Overdoses On His Own Kool-Aid

Today is the day that Washington finally flushes a turd that's been stinking America up for years. Yes, Karl Rove is leaving the White House and today he celebrated by gazing into his crystal ball and writing an opinion in the National Review about how history will view Bush. It's probably the single most detached-from-reality piece of work I've ever read. It's existence scientifically proves the existence of other dimensions, this one written from a far away realm named the "Bush White House". Karl has only been funnier while rapping. Of Bush and his policies, Rove writes:

More "Iraq attacked us". Classic!

Karl, what about the domestic spying programs? Aren't you proud of those? He busted my gut with this one:

As with everything else in Turd Blossom's love letter, nothing could be further from the truth. Democracy for Iraq, is far from assured:

Bush's brain would rather focus on the positive:

Karl didn't mention that much of the money spent by the US is for abstinence programs that don't work. Or worse, put more lives in jeopardy.

Nobody can be wrong all the time and Karl is 100% correct when he states:

Ain't that the truth...but don't forget New Orleans!

Arguably, he wasn't elected even once. Even republicans have had enough of Bush. A Former Reagan official has a slightly different take on Bush. Paul Craig Roberts writes:

HOOFAH!...to be fair, I'm not sure if Roberts is still a republican after years of Bush. Roberts lays it on:

Oh yeah, Iran. One of the more interesting ideas floating around Rove's resignation is that he was actually an internal administration voice that was against air strikes on Iran. After losing that struggle with Darth Cheney, it was time for Karl to "spend more time with the family". (Incidentally, in this supposed scenario Tony Snow decided he didn't want to deal with the questions of bombing Iran, so he retired to make more money to fight his cancer.) Interesting indictment of the American health care system, no? The President's very own mouth piece can't afford to work for him, live comfortably and fight his cancer.

Unfortunately, we're cursed to live through interesting times. Worse still, dissent has been practically equated with treason. Say what you will of Karl Rove -- nobody can ever make the case he's not a bright guy. I think he's pulling a "Costanza" leaving on a "high note" (If only). Adios, Turd Blossom. You will not be missed.

Bill Moyers puts a nice bow on the end of the Rove era:


FTR was sick with the flu today, so it fell to Gerry to send Karl on his way.

Looks like the rat is jumping the sinking ship.

[APPLAUSE!]

Those encomia from the punditocracy that Moyers showed were sickening. How the fuck could anyone like that vile little troll?

another one gone and another one gone
another one bites the dust
[/Freddie]

and what a send-off it is!

hilarious! is he going on tour with this stand up routine???!!!

nothing like living in a capitalist monarchy...

oops sorry i mean constitutional republic...did i say monarchy?

It's a plutocratic oligarchy, actually.

I wonder if there is substance to the idea that some of these recent Administration resignations have something do with Cheney's boner over bombing Iran (besides Gonzo of course).

Condi's supposed to be holding the Dick's leash right now.

... but did nothing.

Dang, man. I read this headline and got my hopes up that Karl had actually overdosed on delicious, delicious Jonestown poison.

Bill Moyers is awesome.

It'll be hard to top this administration in history's shit list of worst presidential administrations ever.

You're confusing him with Snow?

True story. I like how at the end all the leashes running bush, and his remaining administration have faded out. Leaving only his inept self, and the Chaney behind the curtain to face an angry audioance.

Wait ... Rove is dying of cancer?

no, that's tony snow. i thought he just looked terrible because he was exhausted from being press secretary for the bush administration but apparently he has cancer...and is also exhausted from being press secretary for the bush administration.

Being press secretary for the Bush administration must be enough to give a guy cancer.

If that were true, Ari Fleisher's face mouth would be swollen with tumors.

Fuck Iraq. We also do nothing to foster Democracy in the governments of our allies - Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Jordan, Kuwait.

We are not for Democracy. We are for talking about democracy when the WMD don't turn up.

Someone should let Mr Rove know that he can stop spreading lies now that his services are no longer required by his recent employers.

But I suspect the likes of him will continue 'spinning' even when he is in his grave.

absolutlely - I can't imagine that he is going quietly into the night to teach and write. The paranoid hippy in me is just a little scared that he is now free to "spin" out of the public radar...

He is like "talking to a fire hydrant." Talk about a mixed metaphor. Last time I tried to talk to a hydrant (I was a little overserved), he did not answer and smelled like dog piss. I guess talking to him would be like talking to a fire hydrant after all.

Nya....

Darth Cheney...
