Karl Rove, longtime puppet-meister of the Terror Troika of Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove, has finally pulled the pin on his career at the top tier of politics.
Kousin Karl, architect of President Jo Jo The Idiot Boy, since Texas Governor days, said in a Wall Street Journal piece by John D. McKinnon, that; "I just think it’s time," Mr. Rove said in the interview. "There’s always something that can keep you here, and as much as I’d like to be here, I’ve got to do this for the sake of my family."
Kousin Karl has been sniffing the Bush athletic supporters and other foundation garments since 1973 when he was Special Assistant to Daddy Bush as Chairman of the Republican National Committee.
The big break came in 1984 when Daddy said he’d fund a corporation to put some fresh, working, electronics in his eponymous son George "Give Baby a Lap Dance!" Bush and stand him up as a meat puppet for the Texas gubernatorial election. Karl and some of the other fixers did good work and got Dubya elected in ’94 and again in ’98.
Two years later, after regrooving the Dubya software and putting some of the electronics in First Puppet Peggy Hill, Kousin Karl ran it for President of the Whole Shebang against Al Gore and won, more or less. This put Kousin Karl in a position of Great Power along with the ex-Daddy Bush cronies like Shotgun Dick, Donnie Rumsfeld, Irv Libby, Rickie Pearle, Wolfie Wolfowitz, Fast Fred Fielding, Slick Rick Armitage, the Z-Man, Zalmay Khalilzad and Dougie Feith.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the chain-whipping specialists of "Larry" Ari Fleisher and Victoria "Torie" Clarke, who thought that genital electrocution was merely a prelude to permanent attitude adjustment for reporters unfriendly to the White House and Pentagon. Larry Ari Fleischer’s weapon of choice was a bricklayer’s hammer, while TC used her Death Ray stare to boil the kidneys of recalcitrant reporters.
We know where all that got us.
Now with Kousin Karl walking the plank, it looks like Shotgun Dick is going to drive for a while, from the Undisclosed Location. I wonder where Karl is going to get the fresh human blood to drink? Ah. I forgot, Texas is his home state.
