This would be quote of the week but it’s too juicy, too venal, too outrageously narcissistic, even after watching the Boogie Man (Frontline’s Lee Atwater) profile on Friday night. From Karl Rove in the Sunday Times Magazine:
“Our new president-elect won one and a half points more than George W. Bush won in 2004, and he did so, in great respect, by adopting the methods of the Bush campaign and conducting a vast army of persuasion to identify and get out the vote…”
That’s quack-talk, vastly entertaining, deliberately misleading and gaseous as anything he’s ever uttered. Surfing on oceans of denial, rectitude and self-immolation, the key redemptive spirit of the the quote is its loser durability. John Powers long since declared these pie-holes Sore Winners, and the freefall food fight would make a cackling sideshow if the GOP weren’t busy looting the Fed.
