MANDATORY OBITUARY

The dreaded Karl Rove has left the White House-- My guess is that the demies, will remain in hiding until the dust has settled before they next attempt to gauge what improvement if any will accrue their meager political standing in the eyes of American voters-- Recent polls rank US Congressional positives at the 14th percentile, error probability of +/-3 means it could be as low as 11% or as glowingly high as 17%-- Embunkered in the shamelessness of their opulent recess/vacation/junkets at such a critical moment of great danger and peril in the world extant court politics, demie Captain Reid and his flimsy crew cast a wary eye about the political charade-scape distraughtly expecting the possibility of a Rovean trick intended to out maneuver the unguarded flank of their paralytic stupor--

Rove earned his genius label due not to the arcane subterfuges of his political craft but mainly to the nose-to-grindstone and dedicated nuts-and-bolts hard work of serious political organization-- That the nonplus but arrogantly cool demies opted for ditsy bewilderment and Hollywood cliche concurrent to Karl's hour upon the stage merely elevated his hard work to superlative praise by comparison-- While Rove and his political corps completely ran circles around the opposition on those exceedingly rare occasions when it displayed gumption enough to actually feign some challenge, the frightened demies repeatedly cowered to and then whined about his not so nice tactics-- Completely buffaloed by faux intelligence on Iraq and irresolutely scarified by their own dis-organization the demies mustered puny courage to thwart what has become the most seriously ruinous foreign policy debacle in American history--

Karl Rove does leave the impression of the proverbial rodent escaping a sinking ship by resigning his post little more than a year before the next Presidential election, but after witnessing the clandestine-like desertion of the Constitution by affording their favorite whipping boy AG Gonzalez more illicit surveillance power than even he requested, and the dismaying scene of self-angry demie pols, embarrassed by yet another show of daunting incompetence, scurrying for the DC exits last week, perhaps Rove is merely seeking some critical slack or just thumbing his nose at the political chicken poop he once reveled in--

The feast of consequence the Bush circle dines on from here on out would only ensnarl Karl before congressional committees seeking political advantage for the upcoming elections by providing free face time on camera for those obsequiously aspiring office hunters interested not one whit in bringing to true accountability those guilty of anything from constitutionally proscribed malfeasance all the way up to and including International War Crimes or anything in between-- Fair game neither way, sadly some demie assassins will not be able to Bjork Rover in a hearings room before he leaves but History will more than likely not treat him very kindly-- Most if not all presidential political strategists wind up in an obscure tome lightly referenced anyway--

Karl Rove has done his strut and fret and even once graced the stage with his grotesque self parody through his telling alter-ego, Rapmaster K-Pac, (Just another rhythm-less republican white-boy not cool enough for the Blues and obviously bothered by it) but his rise to power is over and the vacuum created inside the Bush support team does allow The Big Veep more ground to occupy and rampage around in for the short term and reports out last week do attest that Mr. Cheney has not gone soft on Iran arguing that bombing, at least, a few camps inside their border might be seen in the region as some re-establishment of Kissinger-ian credibility that might deflect from the ongoing disintegration and failure inside Iraq, the panic and paralysis of the mortgage credit and financial markets globe-wide, the utter collapse of the Housing and construction industry, the continuing problems of declining oil production attendant rising world demand and the not often iterated raging epidemic of rampant murder poisoning our inner cities with hideous toxicity-- All of which find lesser interest in the minds of those slinging the daggers of slander under the delusion that this passes for a workable political agenda--

Say 'Goodbye' to Mr. Rove-- Events of higher magnitude and fraught with more peril and more blood will soon obliterate his tenure and by then he will be 'heard no more'--
