Something to make wavering Republicans happy
And by "wavering Republicans" I mean myself.
The gang (and I mean that literally, of course) at Ace of Spades HQ is thinking that throwing the Rovemeister under the bus might not be such a bad thing if it nets us 6 To 8 Seriously Corrupt Democratic Senators. Or so the right index finger of Jack Abramoff is willing to point for prosecutors.
Only problem: for some reason, he's being sent to prison where, for some reason, prosecutors aren't allowed to talk to him. How much you want to make a bet this is the first "bipartisan deal" of the new Congress?
Comments
The comments have picked up since I posted this, and some have come out to defend Karl Rove and the President.
I still have affection for George Bush, but even my most cynical political analysis can't figure out how his sudden and severe tack left helps conservatism at all - it seems to be all about helping him personally survive the next two years.
I am a conservative, and my loyalty lies with the ideology and the principles it espouses. I'll continue to work with and support the president when he's right - like the war, as long as we continue to fight it, and even more should we actually decide to fight to win, especially in Iraq - but like Rush Limbaugh, I won't carry his water anymore.
