I couldn’t help but laugh when reading a quote from Karl Rove at a recent speech regarding the unfolding prosecutor firings controversy:

“Now, we’re at a point where people want to play politics with it, and that’s fine. I would simply ask that everybody who’s playing politics with this, be asked to comment on what they think of the removal of 123 U.S. attorneys during the previous administration and see if they had the same, superheated political rhetoric then that they’ve havin’ now.”

What a cheeky bastard. This is the so-called “architect” of a feckless Bush’s election victories that didn’t seek just to win but to destroy Democrats. He has devoted his entire life to the dirtiest of dirty politics, including the character assassination of decorated combat veteran and amputee Sen. Max Cleland….and he now dares to whine about people playing dirty politics at his and his boss’s expense?

Boo-hoo. You live by the sword, you die by it..now rot in hell.

By the way, Karl, in case you didn’t get the memo: there’s a difference between a routine firing of all 93 US attorneys at the beginning of a presidential term, and selectively firing even some you appointed yourself much later in the term because they’re not ideologically pure enough for you.
