Sunday Talking Head Thread
(Great picture of an espresso shot pour via CoffeeGeek.)
The Sunday Talking Head line-up is ready for the reading. It's a whole lotta Rove...there is not enough espresso in the whole world. In the meantime, Bob Geiger has a fantastic round-up of editorial cartoons from the past week. And for an additional laugh, enjoy this Rudy's "foreign policy" (and I use that loosely) take-down from Fred Kaplan in Slate. Priceless.
What is catching you eye in the news or on the blogs this morning?
If it were just people "talking about" Rove, I might skip today's programming.
But with Rove himself bloviating all over the place, I expect to hear some real whoppers this morning.
: )
R2K
I have always hated Sunday mornings.
Look at the inch-thick cake of makeup this clown is wearing on MTP. Looks freaking airbrushed.
Rove: "the Democrat Congress" repeated several times quote purposely.
rove has an excellent balls rest on his chubby chins
"Our economy is dynamic and powerful"...yeah, it's head-and-shoulders above the Clinton economy. Dipshit.
Rove (on Fox) is defending his 2004 "Democrats want to give the terrorists "thereapy" comment.
O'Reilly does it again.
Today Rove's fat face will be plastered across America's TV's screens, again.
Never before had a college dropout become more powerful in gov't and had so much influence. But that's SOP for BushCo, either a dropout for domestic advisor, a horse lawyer to run FEMA or 150 "graduates" with "law degrees" from Pat Robertson's Holy Roller U to take over the justice dept.
Mugsy @ 5:
They've been pushing this meme for about a year now at least. Limbaugh does it exclusively now, too. It's definitely intentional.
he he the british are getting their balls kicked in iraq we let the iraqys we arm sell their weapons or turn them against us and this fat cocksucker sees a victory !
"Democrats opposed the President on Social Security Reform" because "they simply didn't want to give this President a victory."
september the 11th
wish hed tell us how hes going to steal the 08 elections

McClatchy covers Waxman's discoveries:
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/227/story/19034.html
(Much of the article is given over to spin about the Hatch Act, which is administrative. The meat is CRIMINAL. This is documented graft to politically-connected organizations with the R stripe, as part of the Rovian election fraud scams).
Rove STILL "isn't sure" if Plame "fit the description of an undercover CIA operative."
Argh!
Rove couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it!
Gregory asked him about WMDs and Rove said there weren't any, then he goes on to say that Saddam refused to disclose his WMDs. The very WMDs that Rove just said he didn't have!
One of the most ironic things rove said was that we have to protect the constitution.
Seems a little late for that Karl since you and your ilk have wiped your asses with it.
They were asking saddam to prove a negative.
Rove is incredibly full of shit. What an asshole!
It was disgusting flipping past NBC and Fox and having Rove on at the same time
According to Rove, "Moyers got it wrong", that he's "a Christian" and Episcopalian, not Agnostic, saying he was "taken out of context".
Someone must have video of his comment.
pissed off patricia @ 20:
when theirs no toilet paper left on the roll would you have them wipe their asses on the continuios cloth container on the wall? jesus think of the whiplass!
I can't do it. I can't look at Rove full flush in the face on a large screen TV. I don't believe in judging a book by its cover but the sight of Rove makes my eyes throw up a little in their sockets. He's like a 200-lb maggot in a bad suit and glasses.
He's apparently developed some kind of mutant superpower to repel the normal gaze and actually destroy eyes that look at him too long. I think his long career specializing in poisoning the public trust by stealth is what's behind this protective / defensive mechanism against perceived threats. (I think I'll skip the Sunday Morning Cartoons in favor of holding onto my breakfast.)
Good Grief Rove is bad enough but the whack-job kristol just claimed the republicans will win the White House in'08 and rove will be vindicated. How this idiot gets any respect is apparently beyond my limited intellectual ability because I don't see that happening, but what do I know.
thanks to dian finestiens excellent decishion to not require paper ballots on the republican diebold machines they probably will win the presidency, even if you catch the bastards stealing it again what cha going to do about it, oh yeahthe same thing you did in 2000 and 2004!
Wallace quoting Shakespeare on Rove's nicknames: "A rose (Rove?) by any other name would smell as sweet".
I'm sure Rove will be fielding nothing but softballs (just like he does in his spare time) - I'm sure not a single interviewer will ask a single hard hitting or even relevant question, I'm sure Rove will sit there with that dumb smirk face and not a single interviewer will have the balls to try and knock it off his face.
Rove is making the WWII analogy again on MtP.
I give everyone credit for watching Rove this morning...I just can't do it.
When the angel of death comes into your studio on his farewell tour, it's still a bit too soon to poke him with a stick.
At least that's how the MSM on-air pricks would have to think of Hot Karl, except at Fox (and maybe the other places too, so what do I know?), where they must be hankering to go along with the Devil as he descends.
Personally, I'd carry a great big stick to Karl and pay him back for every evil thing he's done. He would hear a lot about New Orleans before I ran out of breath. "Carry that to Hell," would be about the last thing he would hear from me.
Anyone else catch this conflict: "Saddam Hussein's own officers thought he had WMDs", followed shortly after that the war could of been avoided if "Saddam simply admitted he didn't have WMD's".
Okay, ignoring the fact that Saddam DID say that, I'm trying to figure out how Saddam could of said he didn't have them if his officers were telling him he did?
Actually its one of the few chances Ive had to watch Rove speak. If you are going to debate his actions to your conservative friends (everybody knows at least one) then you should see how the guy operates.
Anyway, the funniest part to me is where Rove accused Chris Wallace of being an operative for the democratic congress. The said it twice and it was in response to his question of what he had to do with the firing of the judges.
Chris Wallace is an operative for the democrats.
Who wuuda thunk?
Joe Wilson is going to have plenty to say after Rove has now annoced on two shows that Wilson "didn't include findingsin his report that CONFIRMED the British report."
Dahgrostab'ph-r-i @ 29:
what would it matter if they did hes the original ,[i dont recall, i cant remember , thats classified , my memmorys kind of hazy about that! seigh heil,
Mugsy @ 23:
I seem to recall that Rove attended the same church as Joe & Valerie Wilson.
dem debate on ABC
again ignoring dennis
and biden's still an ass
nothing ever changes
Two show appearances and not ONE question (to Rove) about the "missing emails" or his decision to use the GOP's private email system for government purposes.
because its a neverending investigation.
as soon as its over, Im sure carl will tell us everything.
Rove is the ultimate coward. He's the Coward of Oz and W's his puffed-up, dancing public image.
Texas isn't big enough to hide both of these asshats for the rest of their ignominious lives. Somewhere, under a rainbow, bluebirds shit. But not nearly enough to bury turdblossom.
Wither. Sink back into the cowflop you popped out of. Toddles. I'll never speak your name again.
"Toodles."
Fat Hastert won’t seek re-election
Make that "three" shows. Scheiffer let Rove go without a single question about the emails (or the "fired Prosecutors" scandal it appears.)
The Bi-product of our lies. Is this what democracy is all about, ————-> The Iraqi Women & Children will pay the Ultimate sacrifice ——–> http://www.youpolls.com/details.asp?pid=357 Please read the article

mccain on face the nation has sudden attack of were winning in iraq allso paramedics have been working on the crap from his bowels backing up to his brain!!!
To promote Rove as a sort of elder statesman on ALL the networks transcends depravity. I suppose the Turd Blossom will now take over the Henry Kissinger position in the hierarchy of bullshit.
mccain shrugs it off claiming its from an old war injury!
Kate O'Beirne criticized Hillary for running ads against Bush, saying "Bush isn't running".
Funny, I seem to remember Bush running ads against *Bill Clinton* in his 200 campaign against Gore.
Mugsy @ 28:
This seems rather appropriate when you understand the context of Shakespeare's quote. The way the line scans the actor would have said "A rose by any other name would smell..." leaving "as sweet" to the next line...this was a swipe at the Rose Theatre, one of the Globe's chief competitors, which was located near a bear baiting pit which were known to smell horribly.
like i said the republican partys telling you who to vote for, clinton or obamma!
Gravel had a good response on Iran. 20 minutes in and Dennis has not been asked to talk once.
What is catching you eye in the news or on the blogs this morning?
Richardson made an excellent point that "if you (Hillary) remove all combat troops from Iraq, who defends the NON combat troops you leave behind?"
and your not going to hear much from kucinich because if he got the democratic nomination they cant control him because hes the only one besides gravel whos for getting rid of these repig scum and their rape of the constitution!
On the question of prayer...
Kucinich: "I've been up here praying for the past 45 minutes that you were going to call on me."
Biden continues to cite the Balkan example as a great success and a potential model for Iraq. Anyone who has even the first clue about Kosovo knows the diminishment that the administrative and military internationals in Kosovo have been practicing since 1999, to make things look not nearly as disastrous as they are, so that we can move toward Kosovo independence and wash our hands of the ethnically pure, narcoterrorist mafia-state we’ve helped create. Christian churches burned since our success? Don't ask, don't tell.
The poll on ABC news has Biden pulling a strong third in "who won". Odd.
The Dem debate has been a MUCH more "substantial" debate with more pertinent questions than any GOP debate.
No, 13 says:
“Democrats opposed the President on Social Security Reform” because “they simply didn’t want to give this President a victory.”

Are you nuts? May be you should learn from Blair's/Brits mistakes in having similar SSR that president Bush is offering.
Everything that President Bush touches becomes poison.
I shall not be surprised that Pres. Bush would like to play with the SSR just to create a demise of the citizens.
The ABC presidential debate is a farce. Keep talking in the air; the empty promises.
If there were to be elections soon between Kucinich and Hillary; Kucinich would win the election.
The reality is Mrs Clinton will be nominated if there is to be an election.
This is part of the unholy alliance.
EZ @ 60:
I was quoting Rove on FNS.
No. 62, I am sorry! You were not clear.
I can understand that Rove is drunk with power.
Gregory should have discussed about the failure of British SSR.
"What is catching you(r) eye in the news...
What Bob Shieffer said on Face the Nation about the White House putting conditions on the General Petraeus report on Iraq, due in September. I'd like a copy of that clip to pass around.
Sigh
Rudy is more dangerous than any other candidate out there.
I believe he actually may be dumber than Bush.
The half baked drivel he puts out in his "Foreign Policy" statement isn't even coherent!
One of the scarier pieces is how he suggests the "Our Ambassadors PRESENT our position to other countries."
This sounds to me like a continuation of Bushes "Yer either with us or agin us!" strategy, and we all know how well that worked.
Somebody needs to learn that in the "Global Community" things should be done by negotiation...not presentation.
Isn't it weird that 53% of Americans believe Iraq was behind the Nine Eleven attacks, No Osama Bin Laden, and we aren't even allowed to discuss "Nine Eleven"? Bizarro World! Crooks and Liars, but don't mention that thing that must not be mentions. BS!

I watched the Democratic "debate". What a waste. You had Stephanopolos baiting all of the candidates for the first twenty minutes or so with the question of,
"Is Obama ready to be president?" Someone should of told him that every candidate present is ready to be president, that's why they're running, stop asking stupid questions and let's talk about the issues. Geez what a hack! If this is what we have to look forward to for the next year we're in trouble. Hopefully the internet will get the candidates message out because the MSM is too worried about their own existence to do the job.
Kyuzo @ 11:
I don't know why Democrat haven't started referring to the Republican Party as the as the RePUBICan Party - and keep doing it until those motherf***ers stop with the "Democrat Party" stuff.
Either that, or the Re-DOUCH BAG-lican Party.
