White Man Shouldn’t Dance

Get real. George Bush doesn’t run this country any more that Mickey Mouse runs Disney.
By now, anyone who isn’t brain-dead recognized the ineluctable truth that its Karl Rove, with the occasional bizarre assistance of Dick Chaney, who controls George Bush, the White House, the United States Congress, the Justice Department, Bush’s totally corrupt administration, Fox News, and, by extension, the policies and activities of the government of the Unites States.
See how well it works when a pair of draft dodgers run the store?
Rove’s admirers refer to him as, “brilliant,” and a “genius.” These admirers are, of course, the same party-line lock-step automatons that also refer to the smirking parasite currently occupying the Oval Office as, “our heroic leader.”
At best, Rove is only just smart enough to fool a gullible and lazy national media into believing he’s anything more than a trusted hanger-on. It is his adoring toadies, themselves collectively no brighter than a carload of slaughterhouse-bound cattle, who confuse Rove’s larcenous duplicity with genuine intelligence.
The good news for this country is the two fatal flaws to which Karl Rove must inevitably succumb, and which will inevitably destroy him. First is his insatiable greed for power. Magnified by his position, and enabled by the laziness and stupidity of the president of the United States, Rove’s power continues to grow despite the recent – and, sadly, temporary – scandal in which he is currently embroiled.
Second is Karl Rove’s legendary, out-of-control ego. George Bush’s, “spiritual guide,” cannot tolerate even the slightest suggestion of fallibility, and thus protects his image of super-intelligence by relentlessly reinforcing the unprecedented secretiveness of the White House he so completely dominates.
A stunning example of Rove’s ego-driven imbalance is demonstrated by his reckless outing of Valerie Plame, the former covert CIA agent. Endangering not only her life, but the lives of literally dozens of other courageous and loyal American CIA operatives, Rove’s childish vengeance was simply no more than an act of intimidation against her husband, ambassador Joe Wilson, for uncovering the fact that George Bush used a Rove-approved forged intelligence report as a basis to lie to the American people. Clearly, America’s true national security took a distant second place to Karl Rove’s compulsive need for secrecy and total control.
In a war as illegitimate as the appointment of George W. Bush to this tragic presidency, well over thirty-two hundred brave American lives have been sacrificed to the Rove-Chaney cabal’s greedy lust for power and money and oil, more oil, more oil… And over twenty-four thousand less well-connected Americans have been maimed for life. Countless families have been destroyed. But to Karl Rove, Dick Chaney and George Bush, those Americans are of little consequence. Pawns, not people.
Remember it? Thanks to the cooperation of a handful of well-trained Saudi stooges, a nightmare occurred where more than three thousand victims (mostly Jews and foreigners and certainly few, if any, Born-again Christians) perished in the worst crime in America’s history. I believe with my heart and gut that on that horrific morning of 9-11, alone and safe behind the locked door of his sumptuous White House office, Karl Rove danced.
