Double SECRET Probation for Rove, Libby and Bunnypants -- from Dave Ross

[johnfunk]

From the indispensable Counterpunch:

Dear Folks,

Been fascinated by this whole Karl Rove situation...I am not familiar with the clandestine and hush-hush world in which the likes of Karl Rove and the Wilsons live...but it struck me as kind of interesting that the journalist Matt Cooper used the term "double super secret background" to describe whatever conversation they had. Remember the classic film Animal House? (written by a Dartmouth grad and modeled after the fraternity next door to my beloved house Heorot - named appropriately after the drinking hall of Beowulf)

Remember Dean Wormer's response to Greg Marmalard?

Greg Marmalard: But Delta's already on probation.

Dean Vernon Wormer: They are? Well, as of this moment, they're on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION

Imagine then a similar conversation between Matt Cooper and Karl Rove:

Cooper: Well, I already have you on secret background Karl?

Rove: We are? well then this has to be DOUBLE SUPER SECRET BACKGROUND!!!

Who do these guys think they are? Maxwell Smart?

I mean...come on. Tell me that when you really get down to the bones, these guys like Rove are really still using their sophomoric minds to handle stuff and get folks in trouble...just like college...

We should just put Rove on DOUBLE SUPER SECRET PROBATION and have done with it...

Cheers, Dave Ross

3. Dave Ross is a national treasure

I'm not biased or anything. He broadcasts from KIRO-AM in Seattle; he's been doing so for a long time. I'm thrilled to say he's a Dem. Even when his callers disagree with him, he responds in a thoughtful, courteous manner, unlike his colleague, the odious Dori Monson.

We're lucky to have Dave, and I only wish the rest of the country could hear him, too. I wish he'd get picked up by Sirius Left or by AAR.

5. Come to think of it, Animal (White) House is the wrong analogy...
