Why Karl Rove is Always Smirking

I have always wondered why Karl Rove always has what we like to call down South a “shit eating grin” all the time. Then I realized it’s because he has to say shit like this:

“You know, the Bush doctrine—‘Feed a terrorist, arm a terrorist, train a terrorist, fund a terrorist, you’re just as bad as a terrorist,’ ” he said. “It’s going to remain our national doctrine, and it’s going to be very difficult, I think, if not impossible, to dismiss this, just as it will be to dismiss the doctrine of preëmption. In the future, the country is not going to let the dangers fully materialize, and we’re not going to allow ourselves to be attacked before we do anything about it. The question was, did we have the right intelligence about Saddam Hussein? No. Was it the right thing to do? Yes.”

It’s just not possible to say this kind of thing with a straight face. The irony of it has got to have the man on the verge of pants pissing hysteria. He had to have practiced saying that for days before he could get it out before losing it. Karl knows that his own government has, is, and will feed, arm, train, and fund terrorists whenever it suits them. He’s basically admitting that his government is as bad as a terrorist.
