George Bush faces a political lobotomy if it is proved that Karl Rove, the man they call the President’s Brain, betrayed a CIA agent



Ian Bell


THE White House is in trouble. In this weather, that counts as good news. The reason for the trouble is that George W Bush may be about to lose his brain. Better still, the cause of the trouble goes to the heart of a subject that makes George and all those in his big white house uncomfortable at the best of times: truth and lies.
The possible loss of the presidential brain has nothing to do with trauma or neuro-surgery, of course. In the case of George W, that would be a waste either of a half-brick or operating theatre time. George W, what with the walking and the smiling, is so busy he has other people do his thinking for him. When he needs a brain, he hires one. That would be Karl Rove, deputy chief of staff.

1. What do they mean, "if?" I do not think that word means what they think it

means.

[whistle]

2. Bush has already been lobotomized, he can't make a decision

...as to what to do with KKKarl Rove because Rove is telling him what to say and do still!

5. I love the last part:

Another attack on America could cause public opinion to draw the same conclusion, in the worst of circumstances, as that drawn by a majority of Britons in the aftermath of the assaults on London. Don’t treat us as idiots, of course there is a connection between terrorism and Iraq. You created it.

below the end of the article is a poll

Was the attack on London motivated by Britain’s role in Iraq?
80% yes.

8. Does anyone remember...

the time when a Baseball Manager was thrown out of the game by the umpire, went to the clubhouse, and, watching the game on TV and used a cell phone to continue managing his team?

That's what's going to happen with Karl Rove. They're going to send him away from the White House, and he'll have to run the country by phone/fax/email. Nothing will change.

Oh, and Prison? Yeah, right. Presidential Pardon.

Rove will be running the country for as long as Bush is in office.

10. if Rover is convicted of Treason, not just perjury, a pardon would be

pretty politically disastrous from my squinty eyed point of view.
