The ONE thing I wish Karl Rove had

[Sparkly]

I wish Rove had a CONSCIENCE. If he did, he'd suffer more miserably than any legal punishment could impose.

Could you imagine, as a person with a conscience, living with the results of your actions playing out horribly, day after day? Knowing that your lies, deceit, tricks, mud-slinging and law-breaking eroded your country's standing in the world -- standing that generations of your own ancestors worked to build? And that people around the globe are suffering, even dying, as a result? That the earth itself is worse off because of you?

Could you imagine how devastating that would be for a normal person, with a conscience?!?

1. Yeah, I can........

If Rove has a conscience, he's come to it very late in life.

3. How could he?

I don't see how he could function at all if he did.

2. Isn't he a devout Catholic?

Try and wrap your mind around that one.

He must imagine he's been doing the Lord's work, and the ends justify the means. Either that or he just figures he can confess all his sins and be forgiven.

4. He's a Catholic of Convenience

Devout when it serves his agenda. But regarding the use of power to advance oneself in the court of a king, think Cardinal Richelieu!

7. He's part of a small anti-Ten Commandments sect within the Catholic Church which believes the Ten

Commandments were originally drafted as follows:

1. I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not have strange gods before me except that thou may worship cash, corporations, and cronies.
2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain but thou may promote thy Lord's name by saying "Just get me a fucking faith-based thing. Got it?" and if thine colleagues disappoint thou, thou may respond as follows: "We will fuck him. Do you hear me? We will fuck him. We will ruin him. Like no one has ever fucked him."
3. Remember thou keep the Sabbath Day but thou may bomb shit on the Sabbath Day, that goeth without saying.
4. Honor thy Father and thy Mother but if thy Father should come out of the closet and thy Mother should divorce thy father, thou may persecute gay men everywhere.
5. Thou shalt not kill unless thou are killing liberals, foreigners, or those in close proximity to liberals or foreigners.
6. Thou shalt not commit adultery but divorcing thy wife is righteous in thy Lord's eyes.
7. Thou shalt not steal except that thou may steal thy political opponent's letterhead to use for thine dirty tricks campaign and -- of course -- thou may steal votes as that also goeth without saying.
8. Thou shalt bear false witness against thy neighbor whenever it suits thine political agenda.
9. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife but thou may leak information which puts her life and thine nation's security at grave risk.
10. Thou shalt covet thy neighbor's goods as this is the true path to righteousness in thine Lord's eyes.

5. The ONE thing I wish Karl Rove had

I'd settle for a massive, fatal stroke.

6. He's a walking Portrait of Dorian Gray.
