Quote of the Day

(in talking about karl rove) from CBHagman

The brain may function, but in the service of promoting incompetence, vainglory, greed, and corruption.

The mouth may move, but the words are dead and empty.

The heart may beat, but it is lifeless.

Exploiting blocs of religious voters, Rove has no faith himself. Vicious in "victory," vindictive in mind-set, Rove has helped midwife what could well be the nadir of America's role in the world. The country remains a superpower, but the groundwork is laid for unspeakable disaster -- in the form of massive debt, national security risks, societal upheaval -- that is already evident in some areas.

There's a difference between success and getting what you want, and it would appear most in the Bush administration are oblivious to that fact, perhaps Rove most of all.

History will judge this empty and loathsome man very harshly indeed.
