Karl Rove, Go Fuck Yourself

From an interview everybody's favorite MC Rove gave while aboard Air Force One today after announcing his resignation yesterday:

"Look, I love my job. I have fun. It is a joy to walk in the door. I have the most incredible colleagues in the world. And I know it sounds corny, but it's inspiring to walk into the Oval Office, the tone he sets, you know, the good nature he has, the focus, the vision -- it's inspiring. And I deliberately used that word today because he just -- he makes it a wonderful place to work. And my colleagues make it a magical place to work. And you have such a sense of satisfaction of serving the country and doing important work in combination with some really extraordinary people. And would I like to enjoy that right up until January 20? You bet I would; 526 more days of that would be great. But I wouldn't be doing the right thing by my family, and it really is time for me to do this."

I don't have anything intelligent to say here, really. People smarter than me have already recounted Mr. Rove's innumberable missteps, leaks and crimes, yet apparently he is inspired by having done them. Serving the country, he says. Getting Scooter convicted to cover up his own leak is no big deal cause he'll never have to actually serve jail time. Total failure to get any of Bush's agenda pushed through (in case you forgot about Social Security in all this immigration failure, that didn't work either), the US attorney firing scandal (which he definitely can't be proven to be involved with, since he deleted all his emails), even a fun time being in charge of the Katrina reconstruction effort -- which part of that was serving the country? (Look, I recounted all his crap even though I just said I wasn't going to. I lie a lot. Sorry.)

I guess he's just "inspired" past all need to dwell on these pesky details of reality. And really, it is too bad to see Ice Cream Fridays go. That Karl, what a fun guy (fungi? Thrives in bullshit, anyway). So, goodbye, Karl Rove. And again: go fuck yourself.
