No wonder they called him Turd Blossom
Karl Rove could put fecal matter on his lapel and call it a boutonniere. Goodbye and good riddance.
By Garrison Keillor [2007-08-15]

  • I remember when...

    I just looked up Sydney Blumenthals article last year of the Bush/Rove visit to the Clinton Library. What pricks they were then and now:

    "Offstage, beforehand, Rove and Bush had had their library tours. According to two eyewitnesses, Rove had shown keen interest in everything he saw, and asked questions, including about costs, obviously thinking about a future Bush library and legacy. "You're not such a scary guy," joked his tour guide. "Yes, I am," Rove replied. Walking away, he muttered deliberately and loudly, "I change Constitutions, I put churches in schools ..." Thus he identified himself as more than the ruthless campaign tactician -- as the invisible hand of power, pervasive and expansive, designing to alter the fundamental American compact."

    It is satisfying to see him leave as a complete failure isn't it? Please reread this gem - its actually enjoyable now:
