Rove Is Next

[The Big Crunch]

I currently have a voodoo doll of Karl Rove dressed in a neat little suit and seated in front of a grand jury of voodoo dolls, as well as a voodoo doll of Patrick Fitzgerald (with a sealed voodoo envelope of indictments). Every thirty minutes I turn to my little voodoo courtroom setting, light some incense, sprinkle some chicken blood, and have the voodoo doll Karl Rove stand up, and then have the voodoo doll Patrick Fitzgerald read out a littany of indictments. After the last indictment is read, I have the voodoo doll Rove shit his pants and cry for his mommy as the guards lead him away to be booked, fingerprinted, and held in custody until bail can be posted or the end of his criminal trial.

I have seen the power of voodoo in a James Bond film and I hope that it does not fail me, or my fellow Americans in the days to come.

This is actually strikingly similar to Howard Dean's strategy for bringing his brokedown party back to power.

None of the indictees, no matter who they may be, will do any jail time.

Haven't you ever heard of Preemptive Pardons? :(

Whoa!!! Dean's got a strategy? When did this happen?

If he has any faith in the power of voodoo, the he should be scared shitless! And he should start wearing some of them adult diapers.

You reminded me of the Verizon (I think) commercial where the dude has voodoo dolls. "This one is overages and I call this one roaming." And then the lady does the spiel and he says "So they work." "Now I just need to make one for loneliness."

I crack up everytime he says that.

Dude, you don't remember? Howard Dean's strategy was to yell loud and maniacally, not voodoo

Rove is a tool.

I like grilled cheese and tomato soup.

Maybe I'm a little bit loony, but I think the Dems should give that strategy at least another six months, if not a year. Really, temper tantrums take a while to be truly effective in terms of national politics.

I like barbecue :D

[akip]

damn, had to run out; couldn't finish out the press conference. i get back and the talking heads are saying that rove's pretty much off the hook.

So I've heard. :p

[yoshomon]

I just got back from voodoo central.. and let me tell ya, that shit works! Didn't you see the hurricanes?! Well?!

[justa bill]

not that i give a damn about the life of official "washingtonians" who would probably rather brake a leg than spend 2 minutes talking to someone as common as me... (i am just a bill after all; )

but, who the hell was it--Maxwell Smart maybe--that decided to make the wife of a United States Ambassador a freakin' CIA "undercover" agent?

really, was the wife of a U.S. Ambassaor in Africa going to be hanging out in smokey bars in Africa getting all the dirt on the secret plans of all those African 'spies'? sounds to me like she was just collecting a government check.

so it doesn't bug me that both of them are off the public's payroll. if the guy lied, see ya. if the guy leaked information he shouldn't have, seeya.

i just wonder how many more "undercover" agents are sitting around Washington doing nothing. :rolleyes:

how do they figure? what i've heard is that the investigation is ongoing and that rove's attorney just bought him a brief reprieve while fitzgerald looks things over one last time.

[the_birds]

Yea, it seems like Fitzgerald went out of his way to say that he could employ another Grand Jury at any time, clarifying that THIS one could no longer be used... He comes off as a real straight shooter too. This is what the W.H. is dreading, because he is not going to encourage charges without a damn good shot at making them stick. Doesn't preclude plea bargains, but its a good place to start!

Well, from what I know about it, I wouldn't call her job "doing nothing". However, from what I recall in a Time magazine cover story a few months back, she was working state-side when her identity was leaked and was not a "deep undercover" agent like you might be thinking. There are various levels of "undercover-ness", and it is also not uncommon for an agent to remain officially undercover even after he or she is essentially done with their undercover assignment. There are a lot of very valid reasons for this, including the fact that undercover espionage is not a one-man (or one-woman) operation. Lots of people work on these missions, and even if one of the operatives is moved out of the field, the operation can remain on-going, and the other operatives can still be working undercover. In the case of Valerie Plame/Judith Wilson, it has been reported that her out-ing has resulted in several other undercover agents in the field having their covers blown because of their work with her. Furthermore, although the concept of being "undercover" can seem very seedy and dramatic due to Hollywood depictions, in reality it is often much less dramatic, but still no less delicate a task or vital a prt of national security.

I'm not sure about the marriage thing; I was under the impression that she was already a successful CIA operative before they were married. Furthermore, as far as frequently-useless-but-always-well-paying government positions are concerned, ambassodor-ships are some of the most common examples of people collecting a government check for basically spending a few years overseas socializing with the political and cultural elite of a foreign country.

And you're right, we almight inside-the-beltway dwellers could care less what you think...in fact, we'd really prefer if you didn't think at all. :p ;) :D
