It’s time for Karl Rove to float away in a balloon
Ten years ago, Karl Rove was being celebrated as — was celebrating himself as — the architect of what he called a permanent Republican majority.
Today, not so much.
In the 2012 cycle, Rove spent some $300 million of other people’s money and accomplished not a damn thing with it. These are not people who appreciate spending a lot of money and getting nothing in return. They were led to believe that their money would purchase politicians who would return their phone calls immediately. Even more important, they wanted their investment to instill a good healthy fear in those in Washington who otherwise might cross them.
Instead, they got U.S. Sen.-elect Elizabeth Warren.
Of course, the real Wizard of Oz moment came Election Night on Fox, when Rove performed his epic meltdown over the numbers coming out of Ohio. If that did not permanently damage his reputation more than the losses themselves, it certainly cemented it.
You see, a good political strategist has to be willing to listen dispassionately to what the data tell him. He does not yell angrily at that data, like a distraught husband refusing to believe that his wife just left him. In that moment, Rove exposed himself as the petty figure that he is.
As Dorothy Gale, D-Kansas, famously put it, “Why, you’re not a wizard at all, you’re just a man! And you’re a very bad man for pretending to be a wizard.”
And after that, as I recall, the defrocked wizard floated away in a balloon, unable to steer a new direction because “I don’t know how it works!”

Bro, “He probably got in the same way people like W get into Yale and Princeton. ”
Bush’s SAT scores were well within the range of the class he entered Yale with. About the 25% mark if I recall. Look it up before you spout any more BS internet rumors. I posted the numbers for Jay once before when he made the same stupid claim. Funny, he never replied to the actual facts on the subject….

Been reading about the new bi-partisan spirit in DC..
President: “I want everyone’s ideas…but we can’t afford to get into political games..”
Pelosi: “I come to DC to work in bipartisan manner…” (both DEMS and GOP chuckle)
President: “Its’ important to build medium and long term fiscal discipline…to tame the growing federal deficit..”
Reid: “We are in a unique situation….I want to work!”
McConnell: “I like the idea of tax cuts (as suggested Mr President) but we should take a look at programs like medicaid….and what we pay the states…perhaps is should be a loan instead of outright grants..”
Boehner: (tanned from many hours on the golf course) “the economy is in an unprecedented turmiol…I will personally pledge to sell this stimulus package to the american people as something that would help them..”
Biden: “we understand the gravity..”
Wow this was in 2009…all giddy about working together…its 2012..same script…same outcome..

“Do you really think if that were possible, everybody else wouldn’t have already figured it out? They’re all just doing socialism wrong??”

“And if you think socialism is so great and have friends over there, GO!”
I have a better idea. If YOU hate it here so much — as you so frequently tell us — then YOU leave. Pack up and leave us all to destroy ourselves, isn’t that right?
Well, please do. Do just that.

“In that case, Republicans spent $3B to maintain the status quo that has them holding only one lever of power in Washington”
That’s not quite accurate. They may not have a majority in the Senate, but that body’s filibuster rules still give them power there.
I’m really curious to see if Harry Reid really DOES push to change that rule as he said he would.
As of 11/7: “I do” have plans to change the Senate rules, he added. “I have said so publicly and I continue to feel that way … I think the rules have been abused, and we are going to work to change them. We will not do away with the filibuster, but we will make the senate a more meaningful place. We are going to make it so we can get things done.”

“Are you really so bizarre as to think
a. that’s what I wish or
b. that’ll ever happen?”
Well that’s what all you Occupy heroes want to happen.
Got it. You’re one of those ‘tax the other people…not me!’ Democrats.

“How you like the beginning of your President’s not mine 2nd term!”
What does the President have to do with Congress’s failure to act?

Gasoline at $3.09 a gallon?
That can’t be so.
I was assured that it would be $6 a gallon by election day.

They Might Be Giants posted, “And Diane Sawyer declares tonight’s winner is… chardonnay!”
TMBG seem thrilled by the attention that offhanded tweet appears to have generated. And good for them–I’m a longtime fan.

Rove doesn’t need to float off in a balloon.
He has been whisked away by Bookman and his band of flying monkeys.

All hail the flying monkeys!

Let’s give all give a big hand to some of our right leaning friends on the blog.
Their ingenuity has been overlooked and must be acknowledged.
From Tuesday night until today, they have figured out how to turn sour grapes into WHINE………….
And you thought making lemonade out of lemons was something special.
Kudos, guys………….. Mucho Kudos

I’d like to say good riddance to Turd Blossom, but wingnuts don’t learn from failure, or even disgraceful failure, so I suspect we’ll see his rotund visage again in the next cycle.

It certainly isn’t water into wine, but it is a damn good start
