Up is Down--Or Please Go Away--III
House Republicans had the wisdom to continue to talk to the Obama White House. This made them look gracious, even as the president edged toward a "my way or the highway" attitude.
Right now President Obama and his team look at times amateurish and somewhat overmatched by events.
The Bush Administration is gone, but the jingle lingers on...Any wonder that these two guys, Rove and Wehner, worked together for six amateurish and overmatched years?

Seriously, except for the small percentage out there who think the last eight years was just dandy, does anyone even care what Karl Rove thinks or says anymore?

Advice to Obama - don't close Gitmo too quickly, we may want to send a few of these dopes there. My capacity for forbearance while the neo-Neros advocate fiddling is reaching its end.

They sure get their talking points out, though. The news media reports views ranging from the Cato Institute all the way to the AEI:

Why can't they find a rent-an-expert who's actually *qualified,* and not a shill?

Wow. Karl still has the MATH!!
.
What a moron. I can't believe anyone still pays attention to him after the epic fail of his time as republican king of the world. -

Obama needs to be seen as a failure to at least a small part of the population for Bush's legacy to survive.

Why isn't that fat sack of sh!t in jail yet?
.
Oh. Oh yeah, that's right - we only prosecute poor people in this country. -

Too bad you can't apply this type of commentary to all walks of life. Like sports.
.
Rove: "Kobe Bryant proved once again that he is indeed 'Stoppable', managing only 61 against the Knicks before being completely shut down." -

Cliff –
We CCA's (calorically challenged Americans) take offense. "Sack of sh!t," certainly… but you needn't go beyond that, please.
.
Now where did I put that chili dog? -
10
Rove and his allies keep bumbling on with their take on political strategies and elections, etc. They got drubbed in the last two elections and by all accounts created at current partisan atmosphere in Washington as well as the recession. No one cares what these kooks think.

I guess I'm confused. Obama originally sent an ~$800B stimulus plan to Congress that was roughly 2/3 spending and 1/3 tax cuts and several weeks later Congress is about to pass an ~$800B stimulus plan that is roughly 2/3 spending and 1/3 tax cuts (including Obama's signature tax cut). I wish I could be that "imcompetent" at achieving my goals. Yet the GOP is claiming victory because they got new school construction cut and set themselves up to take absolutely no credit for helping the economy when it (inevitabley but slowly) rebounds? Good luck with that.

FlownOver - sorry, I in no way meant to associate you with Karl Rove, who is a filth-eating invertebrate. My apologies.
-

.
Isn't Rove currently in Contempt of Congress for ducking a subpoena? He can't be that hard for authorities to locate, seeing how he keeps shooting off his mouth. -
14
Cliff, filth-eating invertebrates everywhere are offended by the association. Rove is the brownish-green scum that accumulates on the rocks in a stream below a failing sewage treatment plant - which is eaten by the filth-eating invertebrates.
-
15
I just can't win today.

16
Cliff, I'm waiting for someone to argue on behalf of "the brownish-green scum."

Wouldn't it be nice if the msm would pick up a story like this: The right wing attacks Henrietta Hughes

The GOP political strategy as of the last eight years, as rumblings that their beloved trickle-down economics theory was about to fail spectacularly for all the world to see, has been to purposefully deny the truth. The War on Terror was a beard for their War on Truth. They even gloated about "creating reality" to reporters.
It is really breathtaking how obscurant they are. There's got to be a name for this kind of behavior.
Anyone remember anything from their abnormal psych classes?

texgator: I do think Dems should run in 2010 on "The GOP opposed fixing your schools." (I know, teachers don't have "real" jobs in Republican economic theory, but what about construction workers?)
-
20
Well, the brownish green scum usually isn't too picky about what company it keeps, but in this case it would rather not be mentioned in the same breath as Rove.
Maybe the parasitic fungus that infests the brown-green scum that is eaten by filth-eating invertebrates? -
21
wvng,
On behalf of brownish-green scum everywhere…
-
22
I'd like to see someone come in here and defend Rove, too!
.
I think that Rove isn't really related to cheomoautotrophic bacteria, you guys. For one thing, they recycle the stinky stuff in anoxic environments, and Rove is really on the other end of that equation:
.
The icky yellow brown stuff that comes out of one's butt... -
23
Cliff,
.
As the spokesperson for the National Federation of Parasitic…

OK, I've run this far enough into the ground for one day. -

Off-topic. Our justice system:
"Judges allegedly took $2.6 million in payoffs to put juveniles in lockups...Among the offenders were teenagers who were locked up for months for stealing loose change from cars, writing a prank note and possessing drug paraphernalia. Many had never been in trouble before. Some were imprisoned even after probation officers recommended against it."
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29142654/
.
Like I've said, our justice system exists to protect the wealthy, as a job security program and as a for profit enterprise. Joe, should these judges be forced to write essays about how it's bad to lock people up for personal gain? Single spaced? -
25
This just in from the brownish-green scum (sorry for the delay - the universal translator was under a dropcloth in the root cellar and it took a while to set it up)
.
fazzle . . . droggle . . . sh!t . . . sh!t . . . shi!t
.
I may need a larger sample to get the linguistic unit to work.
