Like Threading a Needle in the Dark

“It’s like trying to eat pinto beans with a pitch fork,” Juanita commented to no one in particular this morning while reading the newspaper.
“Trying to get Karl Rove to admit that he or George Bush ever made a mistake is like trying to dodge rice at wedding,” she amplifies on the subject.
“Lookie here —-
As he launches his book-promotion tour, Karl Rove has sought to deflect and deny responsibility for a host of problems that bedeviled the Bush years. A lot of it is complicated — weapons of mass destruction, the CIA leak scandal — and Rove is adept at navigating thickets of information to invoke plausible deniability. But sometimes, a single question can reveal a lot. Such was the case today on NBC’s Today show where Matt Lauer quizzed Rove on why the White House was so slow to respond to Katrina.
MR. LAUER: You also write in the book, “We did not have the ability to get real-time information, so did not realize the initial reports we were getting were wrong.”
This is the president of the United States.MR. ROVE: Sure.
MR. LAUER: Did anyone at the White House turn on the TV?
“I suspect that Rove thinks people will forget about teevee after Armageddon when he is sitting at the right hand of God, tossing all you heathens in the pits of hell while laughing uproariously.”
By you, we think Juanita means YOU. That’s just a guess, though.

Like tryin’ to hug a pig without getting mud on ya…
(and I don’t believe in heathenry or Iraqi WMD’s either…but I’m there with the metaphorical “pits of hell”… Lived through eight years of them.)
1It would be interesting to see Cheney and Rove in a cage match. Could Cheney’s evil defeat Rove’s before Karl could sneak in a heart punch?
2No wondering why The Turd Blossom is divorced, is there?
3The Turd Blossom needs to be roommate with Bernie Madoff….
4I find it incredible that this slimy sleazeball was able to get TWO women to marry him. Not surprised that either one divorced him. Just looking at a picture of Karl Rove makes my skin crawl.
And we all know that the weapons of mass destruction were, in reality, just weapons of mass distraction. He needs to join Liz and Darth Cheney in that undisclosed location I mentioned in a previous comment. I only hope his book does as well Tom DeLay’s. Okay, snark off now.
5I heard that Rove was having a difficult time finding a publisher for his fairy tale. He must have scared some of the marks in his rolodex out of some cash to go the vanity press route.
6Good ole Karl will be on the Meet the Press this Sunday. Can’t wait to hear his BS lies, lies and more lies. Why can’t Rove and Cheyney just shut up and crawl into some hobbit holes and stay there for the next 40 years?
7I shall not read Turd Blossom’s book, but I will look forward to someone coming up with the list of lies. I wonder how many factcheckers it will take.
