TWITTER FAMILY VALUES

Karl Rove Suffers Painful Divorce, Types Inane Self-Promotional Talking Points On Twitter

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

This was taken in the early 70s, but by the late 80s Karl Rove was a straight man who got married to a woman!Beloved Bush Administration political hack Karl Rove just got divorced from his lady wife! Who even knew, right? Anyway, the Roves were officially divorced in Texas (!) last week, and it’s suddenly all over the Internets, and Dana Perino is “family spokeswoman,” and Karl is celebrating by continuing to post banal GOP talking points and self-promotional announcements about his upcoming book on the Twitter. Everything about America is 100% awesome. Make your “now he can gay-marry Jeff Gannon in DC” jokes in the comments and the Circle of Life will be complete. [TPM/Politico]


WHOOPS

22 Million Missing Bush Emails Found, Probably In Alberto Gonzales’ Pants

Monday, December 14th, 2009

'This is an artifact and that was a relic. This is alive in the now, whereas that merely *remained* .....'Hooray, some “White House contractors” have located 22 million emails missing from the Bush Administration’s eight-year crime spree. Some do-gooder group or another sued the White House for access to these obviously incriminating records of daily operations under Bush/Cheney, and whaddya know, 22 million emails were suddenly found, probably on a thumb drive in Alberto Gonzales’ anus, just like in that William Gibson story. Once cleansed by technicians at the National Archives, all references to plotting and perpetuating 9/11, Iraq, Katrina and the assassination of Dumbledore will be removed. MORE »


PEOPLE WHO SHOULD BE IN JAIL

  • MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Ooh, a book that might actually rival Going Rogue, in lies: “NEW YORK – Karl Rove’s memoir has a title, ‘Courage and Consequence,’ and a release date — March 9, 2010.” Well if there’s snappy alliteration in the title, we can’t not buy it. [AP]

SURE WHY NOT

Watch Karl Rove Lie, Straight Up, For Two Straight Minutes

Monday, October 19th, 2009

This is absolutely amazing, watching Karl Rove pretend to be so upset about the Obama administration “demeaning… the White House” and “engaging in its own version of the media enemies list,” by criticizing Fox News, the network on which he’s speaking. (Why is Terry McAuliffe there? To lose another Virginia election?) We all remember how George Bush, when he would give his one interview every seven years, would always speak to PBS or The Guardian, and not just Fox News. Karl Rove is FURIOUS! [YouTube]

Emails Suggest Rove Was Totally Up In This Attorney-Firing Business

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Right back at you.The research goblins over at TPM and the New York Times are busy at work devouring thousands of pages of newly released documents regarding the US attorney firing scandal. At an undetermined point in the future, these specially evolved goblins will excrete a powdery white substance and several pages of “analysis,” or at least a few juicy quotes from Karl Rove about how he is guilty of unspeakable crimes against David Iglesias, the US attorney in New Mexico who was fired “for poor performance” (meaning, because he did not aggressively pursue Republican allegations of voter fraud).

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009
  • Barack Obama traded five captured Iranian commando terrorists, Jon Favreau, a nuclear warhead, and a Cal Ripken Jr. rookie card for one (1) journalist. Are you insane, Mr. President? Next time please consult Beckett’s baseball card price guide? [Power Line]
  • Here is a story about a fellow named Ace, a man who wakes up every day and leads bayonet charges against the liberal elite, on the internet.

He just 'tweeted,' in his pants.WHY OLD PEOPLE LOVE THE TWITTERS: “To a person with short-term memory loss, Twitter serves a vital function: every time the user announces, ‘Going across the street to get ice cream,’ they notify not only their 30,000-odd ‘followers,’ but they also establish a record for themselves so that if they end up across the street wondering what on earth they’re doing staring at a pint of Haagen-Dazs, they need only check their Twitter status for the magical answer. And then they can ‘tweet’ about their ice cream, which is important!” [Sara's NBC Gig]

BECAUSE THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE

Karl Rove Steals Parking Spot From Poor Handicapped Person?

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

Some local folks spotted a black Porsche with the Virginia license plate “I Rove” in their Crystal City, VA apartment complex parking lot. We believe it has the name of Karl Rove’s frat in the border. Most importantly, it is a handicapped spot. This is the first bad thing Karl Rove has ever done in his life. UPDATE: Some commenters have pointed out that the border is actually that of a black fraternity (Kappa Alpha Psi, not Pi Kappa Alpha). Why did Karl Rove steal a black man’s car? [Anai Rhoads]
