Karl Rove sings like a locust and chews his matted hair. He breezes through harrowing suburbs until his cheeks cave in.

They had a slick ad featuring him and their other talent that I saw today.

I remember you from a long time ago Shimmy. Your blog is very crazy.

*Sigh* Any network would have been happy to have him join them. Not because of WHAT he stands for, but because of WHO he is. He is a deep insider, with real experience. In other words, he’s been there… not just watching and speculating from the outside.
Now, you may not agree with him, or what he’s done… and that’s fine. But his input as someone who has been there is valuable! Whether it’s valuable as a lesson what to do, or what not to do, is up to the viewer… but his knowledge about and experience in America politics at this time is virtually unmatched.

Congrats to Spud who broke the news days ago.
This will start to crowd NBC’s ‘the worst person in the world’ list. Maybe they’ll have to drop O’Reilly from the rotation? Mmm. Nah, they’d sooner stretch the wretched show for 2 hours.
