Rove's shitty bin Laden "joke"
And all those reporters who heard this fucked up joke felt no need to report on it except for this blurb????

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/issue/050117/whispers/17whisplead_2.htm


Somebody please tell Bush political guru Karl Rove that he's no Jay Leno . Consider this joke told to reporters last week. A glum-faced Rove remarked that his uncle Obie had been killed. Seems Uncle Obie was chopping down trees in Wyoming when he was approached by police, who called out: "Who are you, and what are you doing?" Said the uncle before the fatal shot: "Obie. Been loggin'." Read: "O. bin Laden."

1. still, I'd rather see him as an unfunny washed up comedian then as the
modern-day Machiavelli.

4. Ouch...
That isn't very creative. I thought Rove was the smartest man in the world? Could it be that he isn't?

6. Could it be that he is terrible at jokes. The guy grew up without many

friends. But that does not take away the fact that he is one of the best campaign strategist ever, make that the best in American history. I never heard anyone say he was the "smartest man in the world" just that he is brilliant at his job. I would trade Cahill, Shrum, Begala, Carvel maybe even Clinton all together if he would come to work for our side.

10. You have to be kidding, he is no prophetic strategist if you...
...consider that both 2000 and 2004 elections were stolen. On a level playing field Rove would be in the mud with the rest of the Republican pigs who are perpetrators of lies deceit and deception.

12. Who is in the White House. What party dominates Congress with the
Senate almost filibuster proof. We keep saying they are stupid..they cheat and we lose. How long do we care to keep repeating this insane cycle.

13. i would have to agree.
i think rove is somewhat overrated myself. he's a moderately intelligent guy with very little conscience. i think he's extremely controversial tactics are commonly mistaken for intelligence. it's easy to be good when you've got everything working in your favor. ok, well perhaps not everything, perhaps just lots of money, crooked politicians, a supreme court, big crooked greedy ceo's, and a few million sick homophobes.

16. He has to have some smarts to pull it all together.
We need to get over this the other side can't be intelligent. We don't overrate we underestimate the Repugs.

17. Smart? WTF!
The guy is an idiot. A friend collected what he thinks are tapes of every interview Rove has ever given to the media. I don't think I heard him say a single smart thing in any of them. Most of the things he said were just plain dumb. The guy is a moron.

If he's smart, then why did he have to resort to cheating?

22. Has anyone seen the documentary film: "The Trials of....
...Henry Kissinger"?

Here was another "brilliant" statesman who for the last 20 years has been hiding and covering his tracks of his political record. Kissinger while working as National Security Adviser for the Johnson administration, during the Johnson peace negotiations with the North Vietnam officials in Paris France, passed along secret information to candidate Richard Nixon in 1968, which caused the peace talks to collapse and prolonged the Vietnam war for another 7 years causing more than half of the 55,000 plus American deaths during that war and the slaughter of millions of southeast Asian people.

I hope someone is gathering similar documentary material to expose Karl Rove.
