Decisions are made by those who show up...and Karl Rove.

One of my favorite quotes and here I find myself not even coming close to living by it. After last fall I, like many, said to hell with it. What is the point. Well I suppose the point is: Decisions are made by those who show up.

And Karl Rove.

I find myself again completely disgusted with our current adminstration and mouth agape with disblief as they arrogantly blather on as if they have done nothing wrong.
First it was a moral crime just to have been associated with the leak of a cia operative identity. Now, well it's all ok as long as no crime was committed and you can be sure they checked on that before announcing it to the world.

Are we really to believe that a man with a documented history of underhanded tactics and spiteful rhetoric didn't leak this woman's identity out of spite against her husband for publicly stating what we all now know to be the truth? Come ON! The man is a rat, we all know it and we all know he is good at his job. Is this NOT exacty the kind of thing he would do and isn't his ego just exactly big enough to believe he can get away with it.

I hate to say it...you don't know how MUCH i hate to say it, but he will.
Even I cannot muster the amount of idealistic naivete it takes to believe that we are not being set up to accept that he should sail through without a scratch because "no crime has been committed."

My singular hope is that in doing so, he will damage his boss and his bosses friends enough to make a difference in 2006..


Something I didn't know about Karl.

Rove's first mentor in politics was Don Segretti? Oh the irony!
(for those of you who don't know who Don Segretti is, Google Don Segretti and Watergate)
