(no subject)

While politics may not be my big thing, I admit to being fascinated by the in-fighting among groups within the individual political parties. The Republicans make for especially fun politico fight-watching. The fact that there are Christian groups that think of Shrub as not being conservative enough is quite scary and nightmare-provoking, in and of itself.

On another tangent, with Karl Rove gone, whatever will Shrub do with himself? Will he have Lord Voldemort Dick Cheney ordering him around even more? Seriously, I just want to know if Shrub has ever had an independent thought - or if he's just parroting what he is told by consultants and others within his administration/ political circle.

And speaking of Karl Rove, this month's issue of The Atlantic has a good - and slightly unsettling - article about Karl Rove and his hand in the failed BushCo presidency, written by Joshua Green.

One thing that stuck out for me - besides Rove's William McKinley fetish - was this comment made by Dick Armey (R-Texas) about the difference between the attitudes of Clinton and Bush:
( Way to Lose Friends and Alienate People! )

Yeah ... there's probably more, but that part just stuck out to me.

I'll be glad when those haughty jackasses are out of office.
