Thursday, April 20, 2006 McClellan Out & Rove handed Demotion Damn... Helen Thomas and I don't get to ridcule Scotty the Lying Doughboy anymore. Yep. Scotty is out. Tributes to the Doughboy were made as Al Franken and Keith Olbermann said emotional goodbyes to him... yeh, right, and David Corn remembers Scotty best: "I ask you, what's a reporter to do? I couldn't get McClellan to address the facts because he refused to recognize their existence. Now this sort of spin is not unique in the annals of political speech. But the case at hand was bizarre because McClellan was denying what was already on the public record." Ah yes... denial just ain't a river in Egypt. And what about Rove the Toad? Well, in additional to talk of Fitz handing his sizable ass to him over PlameGate, Rove has received a demotion of sorts to focus on the Fall elections. And what about the Toad's policy czar replacement. Ah yes... he is none other than Joel Kaplan, who took part in the infamous "Brooks Brothers riot" of 2000. That's when a bunch of GOP operatives, posing as outraged Floridians, waved fists, chanted "Stop the fraud!" and pounded windows in an effort to intimidate officials engaged in the FL recount effort. Nice to see we go from BushCo lying architect to BushCo lying operative. |
