Karl Rove Calls for an End to the Blago Investigation

Karl Rove, evil mastermind, is calling for an end to the investigation into the former Governor of Illinois, or Blago as well all call him. Apparently, Karl is absolutely fed up with the partisan investigations into "policy disagreements" going on in Chicago. And he is not going to stand for it anymore.

“What they've essentially said is if we have policy disagreements with our predecessors... we're going to turn ourselves into the moral equivalent of a Latin American country run by colonels in mirrored sunglasses... It may be the way that they do things in Chicago, but that's not the way we do things here in America.”

Stupid Chicago and their stupid investigation into criminal acti.... I mean "policy disagreements." Ooops, I made one mistake. When he said "policy disagreements" he meant torture. Apparently torture is a simple philosophy that should be accepted, just like murder, rape, and genocide. Not crimes against humanity, "policy disagreements."

I have something to say to you Karl: Torture is not, never has been, nor can it ever be, simply a difference of policy. It is a war crime. And investigating a war crime is not a partisan act.

Lastly, if you want to know what it looks like to investigate, in a partisan manner, political opponents, simply for disagreements in policy, take a long look in your own fucking mirror.

Daily Chatterings: Saturday, March 21st 2009

THE BIG CHATTER:
Once again, three days in a row, the AIG bonuses are going to be on the tip of everyone's tongue. Especially considering this development. Looks like citizen outrage is turning into action. We'll be waiting on the edge of our seats for something to happen next week, and chatting about it all weekend long.

SOME OTHER CHATTERINGS:
Sarah Palin has been all over the news. First, she's refusing federal stimulus funds, following suit with fellow ditto-head Governors. Then she played politics with President Obama's slip up on Letterman. I have a feeling there will be a lot of talk of her fake support for special needs people.

A wrench has been thrown in President Obama's budget plans. Karl Rove is surely glad to hear it, and will go on and on about this tomorrow while neglecting to ever mention that the only reason this spending is necessary is because he and his buddies destroyed our economy.

Treasury Secretary Geithner is still in the hot seat. He's got some work to do to fish himself out of this one. But we're going to do a little bit of work to help him out later.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, under fire for his handling of the bonuses paid to AIG executives, faces a critical weekend as he fights to remain as the Obama administration's lead economic spokesman.

Something good is actually coming out of President Obama's slip on Leno:

March 31 is being billed a "national day of awareness," a call to Americans to recognize and rethink their use of the word "retard," or as the organization would prefer, the "R-word."

Obviously, this new campaign was not a result of President Obama's slip, but coincidentally launches only two weeks after it. And the President's mistake is sure to bring far more attention to this campaign then the organizers were expecting.

There was also a big update on the tragic death of Natasha Richardson. I would not say there is enough to go on yet, but this is a very serious update.

This actually hurts to watch.
