Darth Rove and the Evil Empire

So lately there has been a lot of talk about this guy.

But what is all the fuss about? Did he rat out the undercover agent, whose husband just happened to be a democrat? It shure seems so.

Of course, the definition of "undercover agent" is now in question. And what exactly does "expose" mean? Does that mean you have to use the agents name? What if you only mention that "Joe's wife is a CIA agent"? You never used the name of the agent now did you?

Using this logic, a mob boss who says "wack Joey's wife" can not be implicated in her murder, because he never told the hit man to kill anyone by name.

Screwy logic? Yes. But it is what the spin machine is going to use. As if Clinton's "sex does not mean knob jobbing" line is any excuse for this.

But all I am hearing are calls for Rove to be fired. What good will that do? Does anyone think that he will be exiled to Easter Island never to be seen again? Of course not. He will still be in Bush's inner circle, even if they have to meet in some underground parking garage, wearing spy style trench coats and dark sunglasses.

Rove has already done his evil. He has already been paid for it. The spin machine will continue to be under his control. Nothing at all will change, even if he is fired.

Those who are observant will notice the deflection spin play by the right wing. Today I watched Fox News, and what were the major stories? Karl Rove? NOPE! But there was a long segment about the missing girl in Aruba. And whatever else they could talk about other than what is going on in DC. This morning I even heard (on Fox) a "story" that Americans do not want to waste tax payer money investigating the White House. But all the money spent investigating Clinton was money well spent! And all that tax money handed over to contractors in Iraq is also money well spent! None of that money was wasted!

But investigating beeches in NATIONAL SECURITY is a waste.

And why did Karl Rove have access to CIA information? Did he need to know who America's spies are to control the spin machine? I thought that kind of information was supposed to be....you know....SECRET?!!?!? Not even the President needs to know WHO the spies are, all the President needs is the information the spies uncover. So how did a White House Press Secretary manage to find this out? Did Rove have a proper background check done? Was he cleared to recieve this level of information?

But nobody is talking about this. Except for me. I am the lone voice in the insane asylum. At least this is how I feel.

But Rove will get away with it. Even if he is fired, he will still have all his money to do more evil bastarding with. And he will still have all his connections. And he will keep all the money he was paid while he was evil bastarding.

I remember another scandal in which one Oliver North, a patsy if there ever was one, took the Contra Rap. There he was, testifying in his officers uniform - taking the fall as ordered.

Watch for the same shit to happen here. It is not like this has not already happened under this president. When the Iraq prision thing happened, and there was evidence that Rumsfield knew about it, who took the fall? A butchy looking PRIVATE who was dumb enough to get photographed holding a dog leash. Never mind that people MUCH higher up knew about it and did nothing, or possibly even issued directives allowing the abuse in the first place. Lets blame a private! Someone on the very bottom.

So I am not signing any petitions asking for Rove to be fired. And I will not call or e-mail the people who "represent" me. I will in no way, shape, or form fall for the distraction play.

This thing needs to be fully investigated, and the SOURCE of all this bullshit needs to be brought up on charges. Not some patsy.

And firing Rove is NOT a punishment. Somehow, I think he will be able to pay his utility bills even if he can not find another job. He will never need unemployment, but you can bet he will file for it. Being the greedy bastard that he must be.

The only way to punish rich evil bastards is to take away their money. All of it. Then make them live on a decent middle class income, which to them will be poverty. Thats right - no more pirvate jet. No more limos. No more exclusive country club membership. Make them drive their own cars, mop their own floors, use the public golf coruse. Take away their means to continue doing evil with their ill-gotten funds.

This whole thing is really depressing. The evil has been done. And the guy is going to get away with it. But if you or I dare to forget to renew our auto registration, and happen to be driving in Los Angeles, we get clubbed like a baby harp seal on fur coat day.

So, are you totally disgusted yet?
