5. what a mean thing to say about Benedict Arnold!
Okay, so I'm a bit biased -- I'm Canadian, so technically he helped "our" side, the Loyalists, during the war.

But note that Arnold fought bravely for the Revolution's ideals for at least some of his career ... and he was wounded at Saratoga.

I don't believe that Rove has ever believed in the spirit of democracy -- and he was never wounded for his country.

6. So Karl Rove isn't even fit to wear Benedict Arnold's uniform?
Thanks for the mini history lesson!

:hi: Wish I were living in Canada.

10. well, for one thing, Benedict Arnold is still wearing it!
He moved to England after the war, and as time went by his regrets became stronger. Before he died, he asked to be buried in his old Continental Army uniform. (I felt really sorry for him when I learned about that.)

12. Well, in that case maybe Rove should wear it.
Just so long as he has to share it with the dead guy.

Might be kind of appropriate (in a disgusting, poetic justice sort of way).

;)

9. This confirms our suspecions al along! It's more than a public service
to harm our country, it's a sacred duty.

Just like what appears to be a war hero (like that joker Kerry), is really lucky we don't charge him with cowardice.

That to squander the nation's treasury and start unwinable wars on a predetermined win which ignored and shaped pre-war intelligence, is beter than a legacy, it's showing some of the finest leadership our country has been blessed have.

Wow. Really feel better now. Who cares if Franken is on vacation? Probably never watch that bleeding heart again. You bet.
