Circling the wagons

Light blogging today, alas; for I am swamped with the REAL work that pays the bills. The rest of Blogtopia will have to cover for me on saving the nation today, I'm afraid.

However, the "Rally 'Round the Rove" movement in the Republican party is instructive as to why Republicans win and Democrats don't. Here is the president's top adviser, now known to have endangered national security by releasing classified information about a CIA agent SOLELY for petty political revenge, and the Republicans are rallying around him.

These people are nothing if not good soldiers.

Lindsey Graham said on Hannity and Dickless last night that "If you can prove a case against Karl Rove, let the legal system do it, otherwise just shut up, because you’re ruining a guy’s reputation before anything has happened."

Maybe he should remind Jeb Bush about that in the context of Michael Schiavo. For that matter, maybe he should remember that about Australian David Hicks and the other still imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay.

RNC Chair and Rove acolyte Ken Mehlman is still denying that Rove was the source of the leak.

And pod people like John Gibson at Fox News are turning Valerie Plame into Hillary Clinton -- another kitten with a whip and teeth in her vagina. (You have to wonder what these guys read.)

Now think about how Democrats like Joe Biden and Barack Obama had the vapors when Howard Dean dared point out how the Republican party was the party of white Christian men.
