RED ROVER, SEND KARL ROVE RIGHT OVER TO PRISON
K-Rova = Soon to be Locked Up
While I have not yet drowned in my own drool, I continue to gush saliva over the likely prospect that White House Deputy Chief of Staff and GOP mastermind Karl Rove will be fired, and possibly, imprisoned.
For starters, the media is finally grilling the White House over Karl Rove's involvement in the Valerie Plame expose, as if the press corps just realized they're not part of the executive branch of government. CNN is certainly making up for lost time by comparing this scandal to Watergate.
Both Bush and McClellan remain silent as mimes in a vegetative state with regard to whether Rove was involved, whether he will be fired, and whether Rove and Cheney descend from the same line of balding vampires.
But their silence is practically a confession of guilt since Newsweek, among other places, is reporting that Rove is, in fact, the source of the Plame revelation.
The consequence? BushCo is on record for stating that leaking Ms. Plame's identity would be considered a firing offense by the White House. Likewise, federal prosecutors have been thirsting to convict the source who leaked an undercover CIA agent's identity, which is a federal crime.
While many have been speculating Rove's involvement since the alleged retaliation against Ambassador Wilson and his CIA agent wife began, I never imagined we would see "the Architect" who calls the shots in the White House -- whom the President refers to as "Turd Blossom" -- facing prosecution. After four years of dirty tricks, this probe of Turd Blossom is like icing on the cake up the wazoo and I'm mixing too many metaphors now.
I predict Rove will be gone by November, to paraphrase Wyclef. And given Dick Cheney is due for a fatal heart attack any second, that means Bush II will soon be running in circles like a mildly retarded chicken with both heads cut off.
Granted, any potential victory here is minor, relative to the war-related crimes and lies of the Bush regime. But still, this might be a turning point.
Here's to the Rove probe! Bottoms up!
