Karl Rove Takes Moral Stand

7:36  
 

Yah, I couldn’t believe it either.

I read this article this morning in which it is reported that former Bush administration crony Karl Rove indicates that he believes the current presidential candidates go too far in their negative ads.

I had to sniff my coffee to make sure that I hadn’t accidentally make myself a steaming cup of moonshine this morning.

Karl Rove taking a moral stand? The lack of morals exhibited by Mr. Rove during his time as a simpering toady for President Bush indicate the following possibilities:

  1. Mr. Rove is in fact an android and never had the “Morals” switch flipped, so is therefore unable to exhibit moral behavior.
  2. Mr. Rove suffered an accident as a child in which he had to choose between selling his soul to the devil or watching a loved one die. He watched the loved one die and then ate their soul before the devil could get to it. All the while he thumbed his nose at that dull-witted, not-too-quick-on-the-evil-draw devil.
  3. Karl Rove is from another planet where the very human-like inhabitants have no use for morals because when one of them dies they are just replaced by an identical avatar which grows up out of the liquefied remains of their corpse.

In any of those cases, it must also be the case that now, Mr.—too-little-too-late—Rove is attempting to appear more human by criticizing others for being rotten bastards to one another.

The effect is unsettling. Now where is that moonshine…
