What will Karl Rove say next?

[Maccagirl]

I just saw on the CNBC crawler that Karl Rove said that we are just now paying for discretionary spending approved by the Clinton Administration. Question: A)Is he factually correct and B) Who the hell has been president for 3 bleeping years?

I saw it too

I can't get mad at it anymore because its just so over-used.

"It's Clinton's Fault"

If they are going to use that one, then they're campaign is doomed.

1. True, but trivial.

We're also paying for discretionary spending approved by Reagan and Bush I.

Who's been President? No one person. It's a cabal with a monkey-boy for a front man.

2. As an economic dip shit, that doesn't sound right to me.

We had a huge budget surplus! If they knew that spending was in there, how do they justify the massive tax cuts and tax breaks and tax incentives?

Oh yeah, it is ok to blame Clinton EXCEPT with the Iraq War, they were just following his policy.

This is getting so old.

3. I think he is saying

That the fact that Clinton balanced the budget to a create a surplus created an attractive nuisance for the PNAC koretzu, and they simply had to steal everything in sight, and much that was not.

It is a formal wear version of 'dressed like that, she was asking for it."
As Karl would doubtless say--

Honest, we were on plan...

We started even before the auspices were read to bad mouth the economy, but our Norquist strategy snorted both lines when our September Surprise really backfired horribly.

We were going to walk in and do an entebbe on a couple of hostage airliners and wham! I thought is was a flashback for a minute.

We have been bullshitting and bombing like crazy for two years, living high as we can until y'all take us away to the pen. I couldn't stop Iraq, so I didn't try, but it is not our worst problem.

But take my word on it, don't ask *. He's the boy in the bubble, Smirky the lucky chimp. He is so entirely smacked out he did his little SOTU ad lib vamp on steroids in baseball for chrissakes. God, what is it going to be next year, bedwetting?

I have been getting reamed on the phone all day -- DeLay said not even Rupublicans should have to kiss ass that many times in one speech. Fat Tony called to say screw you about Gay Marriage and mentioned that someone had been asking what the proceedure was to force Dubya to take a urine test!!!

And what was that screw-job remark about our allies trusting our word about anyway... Jeezus George! A third of NATO wouldn't piss on us if we were on fire at this point, and you had to mention Bulgaria? Or was it Burkino Faso?

He's so disconnected they are going to do a Sprint advertisement about him. I would love to stay and chat, but I have 50 gallons of gas to burn in the hummer tonight if I am going to stay on quota, and Dick is quite insistent. The next small plane I take will be to the Cayman Islands, and I'll pack a chute.
Karl.

4. OMG-you are GOOD!

Seriously-are you a writer? Amazing post!

:toast:

5. Sort of

I have had about 30 poems, two short stories, and lots of LTTE's published, as well as contributing to parts of one or two
political speeches.

I have written several technical manuals, but I suspect that is not the kind of writing you are thinking of.

This piece in particular was inspired by Mrs. Agnew's Diary, an old National Lampoon feature.
