In the New York Times last week, this gem was reported regarding Bush’s rebuilding plan:

Republicans said Karl Rove, the White House deputy chief of staff and Mr. Bush’s chief political adviser, was in charge of the reconstruction effort, which reaches across many agencies of government and includes the direct involvement of Alphonso R. Jackson, secretary of housing and urban development.

Excuse me? KKKarl Rove? Didn’t Mike “helluva job Brownie” Brown resign (read: shitcanned) for not only screwing up (because if that were the real reason, they’d have known by the weekend that he spent most of the time pissing himself like a chihuahua in sub-zero temperatures), but for failing to have adequate qualifications for the job. Hell, at least Brown is an attorney. He has not one, but two degrees. Rove was a college dropout, which if you’re Bill Gates, won’t get held against you, but for the highest echelons of federal government, you’d think that might be a sticking point. Quite frankly, it’s not that Rove isn’t degreed, it’s that he’s a hellspawned creature with few peers in his level of evil.

This whole “push” to come before the American people and outline a plan, etc. is all a sham. I’m sure Bush wants to help, he’s not a bad guy. But it’s clear there are wizards behind the curtain, as always. I heard his speech, and it actually wasn’t bad–for a pep talk. As far as to where the money is going to come from, well, all you have to do is look at the very socioeconmic group he is proporting to help. Only two things will come from this, perhaps both: 1) Government programs to help the poor, needy, etc. everywhere else will be disembowled, financially, and/or 2) our deficit will skyrocket. Not a cent of tax will be raised, and perhaps more will be cut. Voodoo economics, anyone?

Shouldn’t Karl Rove be doing something more relevant to his abilities and performance, like languishing in a federal prison for leaking Victoria Plame’s (aka Mrs. Joe Wilson) undercover CIA status? What happened to that? As far as I’m concerned, he should be having to use cigarettes for currency to decide how many boyfriends he can put off for the night. True, federal prison isn’t like state penitentiaries, but all I have is my experience. Anyway…

In reading about this, I also found out that in a super-secret meeting of the Legion of Doom, Rove spoke the following “off the record” (among others):

“The only mistake we made with Katrina was not overriding the local government…”
“Joe Wilson and I attend the same church but Joe goes to the wacky mass…”

The “wacky” mass…that must be the one where you give each other a sign of peace before communion instead of “Fuck you,” where you put money in the collection plate instead of taking it out with interest, and where the priest has the temerity to use wine in place of real blood, like “in the Reagan years.” Yeah, I hate those masses, they’re so … liberal.
