Karl Rove doesn’t get it.
Actually, that’s not true. Karl Rove gets it exactly. And like clockwork, draws the wrong conclusions.
This time the Rovian mindset—the Establishment mindset—is on display in his latest column in the Wall Street Journal:
Government Shutdown as Self-Promotion
Planned Parenthood ought to be defunded, but trying to do it this way invites disaster.
In another ode to what Ronald Reagan used to disdain as the “pale pastel” nature of the GOP’s “fraternal order” Republicans, Rove writes:
WE?
No Karl, unless Obozo concedes, HE’s the one willing to stop funding the government. The buck stops with him. He said so.
How times change. I exploded liberal heads all over town during the 08 campaign sporting a Rove-Rumsfeld ’08 bumper sticker on my car….
Rove is very well paid to do what he does.
The last government shutdown was NOT devastating – Republicans gained DOZENS of seats – record numbers.
Hey, Jebby, why isn’t old ass- wipe Rove your campaign manager like he was your insignificant brother little Georgie? What is good for the gander should be good for you. Besides he will pander to every misfit, group and coven of witches for you. And as a bonus he loves illegal criminals! Besides when you get frustrated he has the most punchable face in captivity!
Oh Pugsly, shut up and go away.
What a guy! He’s constantly proven wrong, and yet through it all he keeps his chin up…both of them in fact.
Picture this: Rove walking down the street with that white board shoved sideways up his ass.
