Rove question - any psyche - analysis of Rove since the dinner?
Seriously, do you know of anyone posting on the internet who is offering educated comments about Rove saying he likes to tear the heads off small animals.

I saw the entire replay finally and it is amazingly repugnant - answers, delivery of answers, and dancing.

Also, did freepers find it funny and did they like his dancing?

Also, anyone analyzing Bush saying 'he's fired'?

Hope I'm not too late in bringing this up.

1. Machiavelli's "the Prince".
I once heard that Rove reads "The Prince" every year. It would certainly explain the willingness to lie about everything and play dirty to hold onto power.

2. You are correct. Even the jokes they tell are revealing.
As one of my psych profs used to say, there are a million jokes in this world, the ones we choose to tell are descriptive of who we are.

Bush's comment about firing Rove is typical. Bush loves to put others down, with pejorative names and comments. Constantly stroking his own ego by reminding others how powerful and important he is.

Or perhaps Rove is more of a liability lately and Shrub thinks he can fly solo?

3. I've not been able to watch the thing........
I have this really visceral reaction to Rove, always have. I have a problem with Cheney and Bush too...can read their speeches and so on, but can't bring myself to watch them on TV. Harper affects me the same way, as does Blair. There are a few others.

Maybe it has to do with the difference between the words and the body language. It gives me a headache after a few minutes. Of course, as I get older, people's voices affect me more too, and Bush and Rice's and Rumsfeld have really, really unpleasant voices.

6. Same here, the voices are painful - add droning Cheney -
and the acting to come off 'corporate' and wise.

4. I thought Rove said "tops", not "heads". IOW, he's even SICKER than some might think.

5. Maybe he said tops. So we have to ask ourselves where the
Edited on Sun Apr-01-07 10:15 PM by higher class
line is between tops and heads. Just got more weird.

As repulsive as he is - this person (?) steering their dis-reality program - I would like to have insight into that statement.

Is there anyone there who is funny?

And yet the media people laugh and laugh and laugh. The laughs at Rumsfeld game playing was amazing.

They are all caught. They are all programmed?

Even the comedians - Jackie Mason, Dennis Miller.

Even their West Coast Republican - Arnold - horribly unfunny.
