Burnin’ all Illusion Tonight

Something really quite disturbing occurred to me last night – blondes, like me, need time to digest information - so indulge me for a moment here.

What educational background and/or experience made Karl Rove worthy of any office, let alone one that allows him high level clearance? Moreover, given his background, what would someone like Karl Rove do with that kind of access?

(This morning I woke up in a curfew)

Has anyone noticed how certain Republican members of Congress seem to be acting against their own best interests? I am not speaking of the Neo-Confused factions of bibliolatry, like Santorum. I am speaking of the usual Reagan conservatives, who are committing political Hara-kiri at every turn. Even people pissed on and dragged through the Rove filth machine are more than happy to play puppet to his strings. So what is this sudden "go into debt, big government, and screw state’s rights mantra?"

(O God, I was a prisoner, too)

Has anyone noticed how some journalists will simply defend a lie quite blatantly, or simply just allow a lie to slide on through, regardless of what it does to their credibility? Again, I don’t mean planted and/or quasi-journalists like Judith Miller. I mean people I have normally respected in the past who are generally quite factual in their reporting.

2. What does Rove do best?
Blackmail/compromise the opposition. When he can't find anything, he makes shit up. I think it's safe to say Rove looks at everyone as a potential enemy....the bigger the potential, the more he digs dirt.

3. We know what he does
If we knew what he did best, he would be in prison where he belongs.
