Karl Rove

Karl O'Brien Rove is Bush's brain a personification of the Devil on Earth. Or he would be if there were any such thing as the Devil. But he might as well be. He is the handler of George Bush, who must request permission from Rove before performing any action more complicated than going to the bathroom. He is the most evil man alive, as well as one of the most powerful men alive. He controls the Neocon spin and lie machines. He also decided the results of two American "elections" since 2000 but Obama was too strong for him.

Though supposedly retired on August 31st, 2007, many theorize that Rove will have continued political influence over the nation as a whole. This may or may not be because of his control over the powers of darkness. Or clones. He could be using evil clones.

Seriously creepy shit
Rove is probably the nearest thing that anyone involved in the neoconservative wing of US politics has come to openly admitting literally Orwellian tendencies.

Indeed, the act of doublethink, the self-taught art of convincing oneself that a delusional fantasy is true, to the point the act of convincing oneself becomes subconscious, is the ultimate outcome of a fanatical adherence to the ideology of American exceptionalism.

Turdblossom
Dubya's nickname for Rove is Turdblossom. (No, this isn't a joke.) According to Rove and Bush, "turdblossom" is Texas slang for a beautiful flower that grows from a pile of cow dung -- i.e., a good thing that grows from something unpleasant. However, real Texans who have lived and worked their whole lives in Texas, rather than going off to some New England boarding school, will tell you that a "turdblossom" is:


 * 1) The quickly spreading smell that follows the breaking of wind by someone who just ate three bowls of Texas five-alarm chili;
 * 2) The quickly spreading brown spot when someone who just ate three bowls of Texas five-alarm chili has an "accident."

In other words, a bad thing that makes something unpleasant even more unpleasant.

The fact that Rove and Bush continue to use this nickname not only demonstrates their ignorance and arrogance, it's also a prime example of how unwittingly ironic these people can be.

Criminal investigation
The Los Angeles Times believes Karl Rove is under investigation over attorneys who were fired allegedly with political motives. There is a rumor on the Internet that Rove and Bush are secret atheists. Is it likely?

Bush Believe?] Well there are good and bad among atheists.
