Karl's Courage
Karl Rove's memoir was released this week, amazingly titled "Courage and Consequence." In it he humbly fesses up to his biggest blunder: not smearing people who pointed out their lies hard enough. Given that opponents of the war were at one time considered Saddam-fellating Benedict Arnolds by mainstream media commentators, I'm not quite sure what he thinks should have been done.

In a just society, Rove would be living out his years in a bamboo cage.
..at the bottom of a sewage lagoon.
Hey, this is fun! I love living in a hopelessly corrupt police state!
Your commentary would suggest to me that you yourself are a Saddam-fellating Benedict Arnold.
Are you Matt?
Are you?
I think the most vomit-inducing aspect of Rove's title is not that he had the gall to think of himself as courageous. Instead, what is truly repugnant is that I guarantee the Consequence he had in mind when he wrote the title was the political fallout he faced.
To him, that Consequence is more significant than the droves of human beings who were killed or maimed in Iraq.
