Who knows what goes on in there? But I know that I woke up this morning with Karl Rove on the brain. That speech [below] right before he was &#8216;revealed&#8217; has been with me since he gave it six months ago. It&#8217;s a classic piece of his work. Every sentence contains an obvious lie, a simplified distortion of the facts or the truth, painting his opponents as less than fools, and the contempt drips from his every word. Maybe we don&#8217;t know what goes on behind the White House doors, but we know what they say when they come outside, and it&#8217;s not pretty. <\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">I&#8217;m sure I woke up thinking about him because I so want it to be time for Fitzgerald to nail him. I know he&#8217;ll only do it if he has an airtight case, and I suppose that&#8217;s as it should be. But I&#8217;m allowed to wish [not that I&#8217;ve got any choice]. Karl Rove is facile with words. He knows how to slime people without raising his voice with a smile on his face. People like him have no legitimate place in government, and I sure hope Fitz has enough on him to help him find a way out of it. Knowing Bush, he&#8217;ll keep him around, but a nice multicount indictment will at least keep Mr. Rove busy and less available for underhanded mayhem.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bush White House is like the old &#8216;iron curtain&#8217; of my youth.
