Karl canned?

07:15 PM CDT on Saturday, July 16, 2005

By MICHELLE COTTLE / The Dallas Morning News

This tip just in! White House sources reveal that the wife of top presidential adviser Karl Rove has been discovered to pose a serious national security risk because of massive debts that she has run up over the years – some from her penchant for the ponies, some from her long-standing addiction to Oxycontin.

What Bush administration Deep Throat leaked this juicy bit of raw meat to me? No one. I made it all up.

To the best of my knowledge, Karl's wife is a perfectly lovely woman. But let us say, just for the sake of argument, that all of the above were true. White House officials would come out swinging, denouncing me for invading the Roves' private life and indulging in character assassination for cheap political purposes.

They would have a point – and in times past I might have felt a wee bit guilty about such tabloid tactics. But now, I would simply smile virtuously and protest that I had done absolutely nothing wrong because, well, you see, I never actually revealed her name.

Yes, I'm in Texas and, no, I don't particularly care for this administration. To put it quite mildly. :evilgrin:

3. I don't know any Texans who do like Bush
but it might be my fault. I seem to "disappear" anyone who expresses support for the GOP.

Ya'll should know that we are allowed to carry concealed handguns here in the Lone Star State.

At first pass, maybe not a great idea - but damn it makes life interesting when those dittoheads are running their crap.

Lock and Load, Baby!

5. just because KKKarl stole Texas
sort of as a warm up to stealing the whole country, doesn't mean that the people of Texas had a change of heart. Before chimpy and crew, Texas was a blue state.
