Aha. Yes. We do not want ogged to miss the fabu article on Papa Rove's many body mods. With pix!
What a dick. Michael Kinsley's "Triumph of the Right-Wing Dork," which I think I linked to recently, is all too operative. Too few wedgies.
My sister went to school with both Rove and Ted Bundy. On the whole, she would rather be associated with the latter.
CNN: "Rove, who was paid $40,000 to speak at the University,"
I think we know who got the last laugh here.
When they are in purgatory with Dante, going down the circles...
"Do you smell that?" asked Pinch. "Kind of like a slimy bayou during a drought."
"Yes," I said. "It does remind me of dead fish washed up on the shore. Phew!"
"Let's take the path through the water," said Delcambre, and he hurried into the marsh, cutting a path that was not there before.
We came to a solid clearing bounded by gelatin-like waters. The stench was overpowering. In the clearing lay figures face down, their hands and feet tied loosely by twine. Several figures were dressed in gray suits, some in red robes with shepherds' staffs stuck within the binding. When we approached, they turned their heads as best they could so that they could see us. They were all smiling.
"You see," said Delcambre. "I will tell you why we are here. We must hurry, and with these we do not need spend much time. They smile; they do not even acknowledge their sin." "Then shouldn't they go straight to hell?" asked Pinch.
"Well, theoretically," said Delcambre. "But that is not my decision."
I kneeled next to a man with a gray suit; his face was pasty, like he had just had a heart attack. His eyes were bloodshot, wireless framed glasses falling from his face, his smiling lips, blue. "What does money taste like?" I asked him. "Is it as horrible as the breath of a dead child?" "It wasn't me," he croaked. "We followed the rules. The army made me do it. They said that it was ordained."
I stood up and by God I remember how much I wanted to kick the bastard. I remembered him. Politicians. I wanted to kick his sorry ass.
"Leave him to his fate," said Delcambre. He raised his hands as though he were about to give a benediction and then he said: "Here is one from Dante as you avaricious ones move to your well-deserved ends: . . . .my house is now your captive: It traffics in the flesh of its own children." Then he turned to Pinch and me and nodded. "Another clue."
"But the big question is," said Pinch, "whose house?"
"All of them," I said.

He really is a crap human being
his mother committed suicide, his biological father was a gay and abandoned them, wikipedia says
what an unfortunate being
may be it explains why he became the way all people hate him
8 is the most apposite comment spam ever.
his biological father was a gay
"a gay"
I really hope that you're not just teasing, and that when I get to Wikipedia to check this out, it really does say his father was "a gay." That would make me very happy.
"a gay."
This usage is not wholly unknown in the UK. And they practically invented homosexuality there, of course.
Karl Rove's dad's homoness has been publicly known for years.
And they practically invented homosexuality there, of course.
Though theoretically, of course, it was invented by the French.
what's the difference between a gay and gay
does the indefinite article add some other meaning?
Gay is an adjective. It's considered offensive to refer to gay people as "a gay" rather than, say, "a gay man," just like it's offensive to say "a black" rather than "a black man."
thank you,
so subtle differences, good to know
This is an odd story to me. Just yesterday my 73-year-old Appalachian-native neighbor told me, among other things (Hillary's out there goddamn shrieking, Bush is an idiot, the Messicans next door block his driveway and he will shoot them if necessary, John Cain [sic] is too old to be president 'cause he's almost as old as me and I'm too old to think clearly), that "Karl Rove? He gay." He didn't really have evidence other than him "being all about, you know, all gay-like."
Is this some kind of weird meme rolling around the tubes? Seems weird to have eccentric-neighbor theory followed by this unfogged post (which, to be sure, does not at all imply that Karl Rove is gay; just weird to have the two so close).
Fortunately, the Internet has video!
19: my favorite line is "You've got a chance later to ask your questions and make your stupid statements, let me make mine." Heh.
The local papers picked that one out, too. FYI, from the same site I linked to in 19, T.M. Lindsey has a better summary than the Press-Citizen's, actually naming the protesters.
God, he's such a toad.
Don't say that. What did toads ever do to you?
well I always figured Rove was gay, why?:
1. Republican
2. acts sort of gay, not that there's anything wrong and all that..
3. Once talked about meeting Bush for first time, some stuff about jeans, cowboy hat, loads of charisma and macho.
4. turd blossom. Think about it in a different kind of way..
5. his dad was gay. with everything else it's just more evidence on top.
6. Really major Republican (however I do not think he is a pedophile, much, so my theory probably has some logical inconsistency somewhere)
7. Bush is gay.
8. Rove thinks Bush is macho.
9. Turd blossom.
10. Top Republican, who'd like to be a Republican Top.
And they practically invented homosexuality there, of course.
I thought the pilgrims invented it. Thus they were persecuted, so they had to run away and spend many months sharing beds in tiny cabins on tiny boats and come here.
Dudes, the Greeks invented homoness. Except they didn't call it that. they called it "mentoring".
but it wasn't the same thing without the persecution now was it?
