ON THE EXODUS OF TURD BLOSSOM
Rove. Out.
You might assume that I've been celebrating, or perhaps masturbating to, the news that Karl Rove is leaving the White House at the end of this month.
But you'd be wrong.
In my opinion, free time for Karl Rove is not a good thing.
While he claims he will spend more time with his family -- Karl Rove has a family?!? -- the Architect will undoubtedly be busy calculating which reactionary GOP candidate to prop up in the White House to make his Death Star operational for another eight years.
Plus, if he's not in the Oval Office, he has even more wiggle room to leak the names of undercover operatives, not to mention spread fear, smear the record of veterans, set back gay rights another decade, fix the next election, and snack on puppies.
More importantly, with MC Rove out of DC, the Bush Administration has a better chance of deflecting calls for accountability and avoiding embarrassing subpoenas.
Scariest of all, here's the math for the remaining 17 months of the Bush Administration:
Bush - Bush's Brain = Brainless Bush = Dick Cheney in total control
So there isn't much celebration happening on my end.
You can, however, count on me cheering when I see this ...
