Holy cow, a lot happens over one lousy weekend.
The Iowa straw poll was fun like monkeys. Tommy came in 6th!!! AHEAD of his cousin Fred!!!
I don't understand why he's dropping out. Even if it is just name recognition because he pseudo governed an adjacent state for 20 years, even if the Pollers never figured out that Thompson sucked at it.
McCain didin't poll well, mainly because he had to get to Iowa by hitching a ride and he loaded up with some hippies (they're the only ones who'll pick up hitchers any more) and somehow ended up at a Moe festival.
Giuliani didn't do so well, either. Go figure.
So the big winner is FlipFlop Mitt and his RV-ing boys. Who only managed to corral a bit over 30% of the voters, after spending something along the lines of $1700 dollars a vote. At that metric, Tommy is a superstar: considering he spent like 300 bucks campaigning, his vote costs are about 35 cents each. so NOW he gets frugal, after creating the largest state deficits in Wisconsin's history?
Turnout was WAY DOWN, given the less than inspiring lineup of suits. But MANLY men, each of them, who will gladly kittens with their bare hands to become Preznit. The Republican race is shaping up to be the entertainment even of the century, like I'd hoped.
So. Rove is slithering out of the White House before Congress can latch their slothly claws into him. If they had been able to move faster, they might have caught the weasel, he's left SUCH a trail of calumny and misdeeds in his career. They'll probably have to burn his rooms to remove the mephitic stench of brimstone and lutefisk. Who's gonna work Georgie's strings now?
Rove. All politics, no humanity. I'd wager he will go down as one of the best pure political manipulaters since Machiavelli, with all the loyalty and integrity of Benedict Arnold. And all the sociopathy of Jeff Dahmer.
Anyway, so Karl goes back to await his endless series of subpoenas, to which he will endlessly forget any pertinent details until Georpgie porgie gives him a get out of Jail free forever card.
Meanwhile, the death toll in Minnesota bridge disaster is up to 9. Rover, we'll give you that most recent one.
America wasn't always like this.

Rove is the Newt G. of 2007.
ReplyDeleteCan someone just shoot him in the face? Dick? Dick.
Death and destruction seem a fitting tribute to his reign of terror.
ReplyDeleteHey Snag, don't you read the news. We are winning the war on terror. Get it on your license plate.
ReplyDeleteCan someone just shoot him in the face? Dick? Dick.
ReplyDeleteThat's why we like you AG. You've got a penchant for violence that finds lovely means of expression.
Snag, I don't think he's done yet. He's leaving on his own terms, rather than being yanked out from under his desk and frogmarched to a CIA cruiser for extradition to a black site.... "Spending time with his family" Usually I'd say that even Hitler loved his dog, but does anybody but me find it tough to believe his family wants him around MORE? Especially his wife (repress much, Karlie)?
The Republicans have to get some distance on hi before the next elections, to try and minimize the looming debacle; but he'll be free enough, no doubt, to coordinate any amount of dirty tricks through the RNC. They already used the RNC as a distribution and comm center in the last couple of elections, and the system is in place and tested....
He's still an amoral sociopathic bastard, and unlike his clone Gonzales, is not totallly incompetent (he's not a wizard either. His success comes primarily from the oppo; clueless Democrats don't see it coming, and stand there like doofuses when an obvious, clumsy Dirty Trick swiftboats into their laps). There's no rest while Rove walks free.
Well, the clueless Democrats sure seem to be doing everything they can to help the Neocon cause. My doctor has asked me to stop thinking about FISA and get laid or something or I am going to die from multiple aneurysms.
ReplyDeleteAlso, they stole the last two elections and got away with it, so I have every confidence in their ability to steal the next one.
ReplyDeleteI'll just go check myself in to Gitmo now and save the damage to my apartment door.
That's odd- my ficus plant told me to speak up and face the lamp when I was talking about FISA yesterday.
ReplyDeleteChuckles, your landlord is probably one of Tucker's buddies, so go ahead and let them pay for a new door.
Kisses to Billy P.
ReplyDeleteAnd still NOT banned.
Not.
Nope.
Never.
