So we'll be sidetracked from reports about how in Iraq our troops continue to be slaughtered and wounded in horribly grotesque manners, yet the locals still can't agree on a government, while King George, Dark Lord the Dick Cheney, and Rummy keep insisting there's "no civil war" in that hellhole they created.
So no one but the displaced and disenfranchised of New Orleans will be aware of their plight - no homes, no effective voting methodology, no jobs, no proper reconstruction, and now FEMA employees selling those trailers that have been sitting around for six months.
So we'll think King George XLIII is genuinely interested in working together with Congress.
So we might all be fooled into believing the bullshit that Herr Oberst Karl Rove was no longer at the master control of Fearless Leader, newly self-proclaimed as "The Decider."
We really need to be honest with ourselves, Mr. and Ms. Fellow American, and other Citizens of Planet Earth, with whom we share this big blue marble - this cannot be good. It stinks like a garbage scow that left New York City in March and has reached the southern Atlantic Ocean on August 10.
Consider the tremendous amounts of damage Herr Rove has done to Texas first, then America, and the rest of the World before anyone knew his name.
Then think about how much wreckage he's accumulated since coming out of that White House closet, his basic disdain for our Constitution and Bill of Rights, the Neo-con Manifesto he laid out in New York last June ("Rove Comes Out," THE LONE STAR ICONOCLAST and http://www.lonestaricon.com/, July 13, 2005).
This is a classic Rovian tactic, and I have yet to see, hear or read one high-priced mainstream media reporter or pundit point that out. Why? Because they're all afraid to ruffle any White House feathers. Even the most Liberal mouthpieces will go on the telly and say what good friends they are with Herr Karl.
Hey, Paul Begala, the guy's a liar and a creep. He's the most despicable, dishonest, dirty player politics has had to scrape and scrub off its collective self in a generation. Karl Rove is the Compleat Fascist, whose twisted concept of Democracy is "Karl knows best." His West Wing office will need a thorough cleansing with undiluted bleach and an exterminator (hey, something to keep DeLay busy) before it'll be safe for anyone else to use; all the furnishings will need to be burned, of course, especially that six-foot-long box filled with dirt.
Herr Rove prefers lurking in the background with no "official" duties; the weasel functions better while under no direct scrutiny from Department of Justice prosecutors. Besides being free to screw each and every one of us, with all the power he's amassed since 2000 the guy can now do so in ways far more devastating than he ever could ever before.
The Republicans are in big trouble as the mid-term election approaches. They have scandals jumping out at them from every closet and minute piece of woodwork. Even without the obvious Dukes, Abramoffs and DeLays, their record as legislators is abysmal; the Nation's business is worse than stagnated, it has regressed. The only way to follow Rovian trickery and deceit is with more of the same.
This is just Herr Rove hiding in plain sight, giving himself ample room and opportunity to oversee yet another despicably dirty election.
Do not be fooled for even an instant into thinking that Herr Oberst Karl Rove is giving up his privileged place of power scurrying under the desk of King George XLIII.
As for Scott McClellan, it comes as no big surprise that he's packing his family and moving them back to Texas. Just watching the White House Press Corps getting to him as the King's ship sinks ever deeper, I could tell he was running out of excuses to come up with for the Regime - and making them up had become tiresome.
