Getting Rove: Taking a Big Bite Out of Corruption
By VictorM: When confronted with possible wrong-doing by someone in their flock, right-wingers go into deflection mode. If you recall, with Mark Foley, they started pushing the "when did Democrats know?" defense rather than deal with the skeevy details of the man's behavior. In the case of Purgegate, the common refrain from them now is that "Democrats are just after Rove".OK, let's for the moment assume they are correct, Democrats want to nail Karl Rove. I have a few questions for you, right-wingers:
1. What is wrong with going after Rove? After all, Rove has been toxic in American politics for a long time, is the architect behind using 9/11 and the Iraq war for political gain, and has been the mastermind of numerous shady campaign practices. Doesn't matter if you agree or not, if Democrats think he's corrupt, why shouldn't they try to prove it?
2. Even if that is the Democrats' sole intention, does that alter the facts of the Purgegate case? After all, Monica Goodling pleading the 5th, Kyle Sampson contradicting his boss, and Alberto Gonzales blatantly lying are strong signals that there is something serious being hidden. There's plenty to investigate for very good reasons. Unless you hate democracy, that is. Do you?
3. Do you believe that just because people consider themselves conservatives they are incapable of being corrupt or incompetent? Among the millions of members of your flock, aren't there some bad apples? Why not get rid of them?
Protecting corruption or incompetence in the government is something you should not stand for, but you do. Why is that? Could it have something to do with the massive quantity of bad apples you'd find, including yourself? Could it be because you know that unless you lie and cheat you will never get into power?
So, are Democrats out to get Rove? I sure hope so. For if they get him, they take a big bite out of corruption. And if that happens, democracy wins, America wins. You'd have to be unpatriotic to be against that.

That's great; I read it three times and marveled at how well it captures the seamy, absurd antics we've come to expect from these lowlifes in high places.
It reads like the synopsis of a very bad TV sitcom centering around Trash Villas, a trailer park on the Potomac.
Except for one unfunny thing: it's all true.
