Who's more corrupt than Karl Rove??

[ailsagirl]

On Randi's show yesterday she said that when Rove was "just starting out" that he decided to bug his own office (in Texas), then "find" the bug, report it to the FBI, and blame the Democrats.

The FBI investigated (yeah, right) and concluded that it was the Dems who were responsible.

And Rove was on his way...

Do you BELIEVE this guy???

What a creep

[TomClash]

1. He should have been arrested right then and there

Figuratively speaking, he'll hang from a lampost eventually.

[arewenotdemo]

26. if the lamppost doesn't break

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. Karl Rove For Starters

eom

[MissB]

3. Hey, you took my answer

No fair.

[Avalux]

4. It's Karl with a K -

and the first underhanded scheme he pulled off occurred when he was in high school. He was working for a local Republican politican; decided to visit the office of his opponent. Karl pretended to be interested in volunteering and while there, managed to "lift" letterhead from the office. He proceeded to send out invitations for an evening of "food, beer and women" to local citizens using that letterhead. Scores of people showed up at the opponent's office. They were angry the party wasn't happening and the poor guy was unfairly targeted and lost. Rove walked away clean as a whistle.

He's more than a creep.

6. Thanks-- corrected the spelling

No big surprise-- his shenanigans (for lack of a better word) probably started at birth... his parents must have instilled his evil nature in him. Or else he's a "bad seed."

What I don't get is how these neocons justify (to themselves) lying and cheating and everything else they do. I mean, if I tell a lie, I know I did. I can pretend to others that I told the truth but inside I know I lied. And it doesn't feel good because I know lying is wrong and my conscience will bother me.

That's probably it-- they have no conscience, no soul.

Whatever it is, they have no morals and, say what you will, it'll bit them on the ass one day. It's the law-- the Law of Cause and Effect.

7. Karl's early life was dysfunctional

and his father committed suicide when he was 19. Could that have contributed to his lack of conscience? Who knows.

Neocon mantra - the end justifies the means.

[arewenotdemo]

27. it was his mother

(that committed suicide)

[ailsagirl]

14. Tom DeLay comes pretty close

Another lovable rogue...

:thumbsdown:

[Mend]

5. his mentor was lee atwater....

who died of brain cancer. eom

[lavenderdiva]

8. 'who's more corrupt than Karl Rove??'.. maybe, Satan?

Can't think of anyone MORE corrupt, except Lucifer himself. I feel sorry for Rove's kids. What a great example those poor kids have. (Sarcasm noted).

[EVDebs]

9. Grover Norquist is right up there with Karl in the pantheon of evil eom

[CatholicEdHead]

10. It's always the black sheep

that is what it looks to me. Norquist is a strange guy.

16. I DEFINITELY don't want a Karl Rove

I would want a master strategist- yes, but an amoral pig- no

[njdemocrat106]

13. Rove is a piece of shit

I was taught in Sunday school to love my enemies, but I just hate that pig Rove with a passion (no offense to real pigs).

[AlCzervik]

15. Have you seen or read "Bush's brain"?

it's all explained there. People served jail time because of his doings.

[ailsagirl]

17. I haven't-- but I've heard lots about it

[AlCzervik]

19. Uhhg, Delay, i need a bath now

no i mena Rove, Delay is just the shooter, not the thinker.

[ailsagirl]

20. Yeh-- Rove is the worst

Though some of the things I've heard that TD has done has made my hair stand on end...

[fortyfeetunder]

22. Just saw Bush's Brain today

That is the most unethical SOB I've ever seen. What's interesting, he is slimy as wet Teflon too.

[FreedomAngel82]

23. And of course he's scott free

which is disgusting. :eyes: I think one day when democrats take over the house we should get him for all his crimes he's done. There's clearly enough evidance.

[ailsagirl]

31. I fervently, desperately hope that the Dems will be back

But with the election process being so corrupt, I have serious doubts.

We've GOT to get our legislators working on election reform-- perhaps they already are. Otherwise, the repugs will "win" from now on.

[leesa]

18. Cheney and Bush

[FreedomAngel82]

21. You should check out

"Bush's Brain." It's in book and movie and he does a lot of dirty tricks. He and Dick Cheney are together. Bush is just a moron.

[Just Me]

24. All those who appease, associate and surround him.

Only a greater corruption would support his corruption.

[EST]

25. I think we should start calling him by his real name

Roverer-as in NAZI death camp fame. (His grandfather, I think)

[DemoTex]

28. Tom Delay .. in spades.

Rove a close second.

[fnottr]

29. Remember, refer to him as Turd Blossom

That nick name is so incredibly fitting

[TexasLawyer]

30. Gotta be Richard Perle!

To be a truly, heinously corrupt politician, one must be a war profiteer; a war-monger (so that there is an occasion for war profits); a traitor working for another country; a serious hypocrite; a trader of political favors for big money; a litigious asshat who sues any publication and any writer who bad-mouths him (as he did Sy Hersh); and an original PNAC neocon conspirator. I won't go on, but there is a lot more to say.

Some corrupt politicians excel in a few of these areas, but for my money I'd say Richard Perle wins hands-down, just through the sheer breadth and depth of his corruption!
