Karl Rove is right. The whole thing has really been a triumph of Bush Administration management, it's just that we liberals are too blinded by our prejudices to see it. Foolishly misguided as we are, we might have thought the priorities would have been to constructively save lives and property along the Gulf Coast. Distracted as we are by what we now opportunistically call massive and tragic loss, we refuse to see the shining moments which have emerged here for conservatives.

1. "Must be doubly devastating on the ground." The President powerfully and succinctly articulated the philosophy that ties rich conservatives together in America: "Wow, real life looks like a bitch! Good thing we don't have to touch it."

2. "I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees." Well, not anyone you'd want to know, Mr. President. After all, they're scientists, and therefore dangerous.

3. "Don't buy gas unless you need it." The emergence of a comprehensive new energy policy. Loosely translates to "Buy gas for the two SUV's and the F-150, but consider holding off on the lawnmower for a week."

3. He wrote some good pieces

on the election fraud ...said a few things at the time that many were thinking but hardly anyone else had the nerve to say publicly

4. Lampley is great-#5 was new to me

5. Validates Bush environmental policies. If the globe were being warmed, it would dry us out, right? All that hubbub, and the stupid liberals haven't said a word about Global Wetting. Hah!

5. Damn, I only got 1 SUV and F-150! You suppose I can by gas?

Wife drives the SUV and I drive the F-150. Too bad I wasn't thinking when I bought the F-150. I might have been able to get a couple of bags of alfalfa pellets in the trunk of a small 50 MPG sedan rather then carry 10 or more bags at one time in the F-150. Well I can go back 5 times in the sedan and get the rest. Let's see that's 60 miles round trip so in the truck I drive 60 miles at 19 MPG. That's 3.15 gallons. Or I could drive the sedan five trips that's 300 miles at 50 mpg that's 6 gallons. Oh well the DUers would be proud that I have a 50 MPG sedan no matter how much gas I burn.

Wife is the selfish one though. No kids to drive around. Just her in her Explorer. Got to get her a sedan just as soon as I pay it off in another 3 years.
