I haven't posted for a few days. It's been nothing but pure laziness on my part, although I have been taking some time to do other things. I have a couple of books on the go (The new Harry Potter book, and the Solzhenitsyn one…), and I needed to take care of some things. (Like going to the dentist and getting some new clothes… ones that don't make me look like I've got a flappy ass.)
I needed some me time. Apparently I needed a lot of me time. In addition to kicking my tires and having some work done, I've been getting some much-wanted sleep. Happily the hallucinations caused by exhaustion have stopped.
Anyway… I've been kicking around some thoughts on the whole “Karl Rove must be punished” thing. For those of you people that live under a rock, and for some strange reason, don't know who he is, Rove is the key ingredient in Bush the lesser's successes.
Some say he's a demon, a villain, a zealot, and more astutely, the apex of power in the United States. All of which are sadly true. He's also best described as the Josef Goebbles of the present age, and like the afore mentioned Nazi, his ability to craft lies and half truths into something Neo Cons spout as gospel is uncanny.
The game for him is to defame and render democrats and other liberals useless. (Mind you, it was a pretty easy job these days… Especially when Howard Dean is the only pony in the stable…) so far he has succeeded with remarkable prowess. It almost makes Hitler's swath through Poland look childishly, clumsy and downright ham fisted.
Rove was rewarded for his efforts, and is now the deputy white house chief of staff, and a senior advisor to the President. (By advisor, I mean handler. Without Rove, Bush would still be a minor leaguer in politics…)
Oddly in a Physical sense, he's not that impressive. He's pudgy, with thinning hair and cheesy glasses. He has the look of a community college professor, and has a smirk on his face like he's been banging the hottest 20 year old in his class. (Gender non-specific…) You would never in a million years get the idea that he “runs” the presidency.
More importantly, he's the spin-doctor that put any remaining semblance of American democracy on life support. And you just know he's eyeing that plug, sizing it up, so when it's least expected he'll tug it out of the socket. This is a man who is willing to use every dirty trick and mistruth to get his desired result. He is everything that rots the core out from under the “New World.”
But I digress; Karl has done a bad thing. He leaked the name of a CIA operative to the media. That's a big “no no.” In fact it's been a legal taboo since the Reagan era. He did it as a way to punish her family, because her husband, who is a retired ambassador, discovered that Iraq was not in fact purchasing “Yellow Cake” uranium and he foolishly let the world know the truth. Not only was it wrong, but also it proves that Rove is a bit of a vindictive cocksucker.
What kind of a man goes out of his way to deliberately endanger someone to prove a point? The answer can only be “An EVIL one.”
Worse still, after promising the media that whoever was responsible for the leaked information would no longer work for the white house, Bush recanted when Rove admitted it was him. Bush should no longer have any shred of credibility left. The longer Rove stays, the longer Bush will suffer in the polls. (Not that it matters much…)
Not since Nixon has America has such a dishonest government. With times being what they are, (which is an awful lot like the Vietnam era…) It really surprises me that there aren't people in the streets, and mass riots over this.
Anyway now I'm just ranting… and I need to sleep.
More later…
