Bush, Rove Joke About White House Felonies. Reporters Laugh.
by RJ Eskow | Mar 29 2007 - 10:01am |

I have a lot of sympathy for David Gregory, who was pressed into a bad "comedy" routine with Karl Rove at the Radio & Correspondents' Dinner tonight. Rove had already cracked a lame joke about Patrick Fitzgerald, while mangling his first name as "Peter." Then he and Gregory went on to "rap" with the bad comedian hosting the event. (Video here, courtesy Atrios.)

Bear in mind that the real subject of Rove's humor was the conviction of a senior White House official for committing a felony while serving this Administration. Make that three felonies. Proven, beyond a reasonable doubt. That would be three felonies committed by someone on Rove's team.

Three felonies that involved using journalists to destroy a woman's career, to hurt her husband for telling the truth.

Ha-ha, the reporters laughed gamely.

Meanwhile, new evidence is emerging that Rove was directly involved in the firing of Federal prosecutors. That directly contradicts what this same Administration told this same group of correspondents.

David Gregory's a fine reporter, but his uncomfortable routine doesn't just illustrate the impropriety of joking around with people who may have committed serious crimes. It also demonstrates how inappropriate it is to hold these events with an Administration that deceived a nation into war - a deception that was enabled in large part by the same chatty familiarity being displayed at tonight's dinner.

Here's the bottom line: The widespread loss of life in Iraq is due in no small part to the slipshod workmanship of many of the journalists at this event, and their coziness with the those now in power. Displaying that coziness while our fighting men and women are still dying over there is in bad taste. (And let's not forget the loss of innocent Iraqi lives, either.)

I know I wrote recently about Tony Snow's illness and the need for reconciliation. I meant it. We can wish them the best as individuals and still oppose misdeeds and deception.

And where crimes are committed, we can wish for justice to be served. Justice must prevail before reconciliation can begin. And as I wrote then, reconciliation involves an honest admission of one's own mistakes. There was none of that in evidence tonight, either from the Administration or the reporters.

Later, President Bush "made a funny" about the firing of Federal prosecutors - firings that may involve multiple felonies (including obstruction of justice, giving false testimony, and misleading another to give false testimony.)

"You know you've really botched things when you have people siding with lawyers," said the President.

Ha-ha, said the reporters.

My advice for David Gregory, who seems like a really good guy, is this: Next time you're asked, just say "Thanks, but I think I'll sit this one out."

Joking about the Administration's proven (as with Libby) or suspected criminal behavior is highly inappropriate, especially since the media's job is to investigate that behavior.

You don't kid around with people you're supposing to be probing for felonies and malfeasance. You especially don't kid around about the potential felonies themselves - certainly not on the very day that new emails and other information about them is becoming available for your review. Maybe that's one reason why these routines were so horribly unfunny.

In comedy, timing is everything.

1. This Is NOT Really A "Joke", It's A Confession

They ALWAYS confess their crimes in this fashion; guised as a joke.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

2. Like monkey-face laughing around his desk exclaiming, "where's the wmds,...

,...here,...nope,...over here,...hahaha",...

NOT FUNNY, ASSHOLES!!!!

[KoKo]

3. Can you imagine if "Clinton Did This?"

Amazing we have kid Rap Stars there at WH. Remember when they were looking for the WMD "under the table" with the "smirking chimp" just a couple of years ago?

America...run by "Comedy Central" complete with Comedy Sketches to Rap! Sheesh....BRING IN THE GROWN UPS...Much as I like my comedy...I don't like to see "gangstah comedy" running America!

I guess my sense of "Outrage" is maybe "outdated" in these times. :eyes:

[Poll_Blind]

4. I hear ya Koko. It is surreal how litte dignity they have for the office...

..and how they flaunt that lack of dignity and disrespect for the American People.

  Surreal. Phantasmagoric is another word that comes to mind.

7. I PRAY Keith gets ahold of it - and BLASTS THEM

[cascadiance]

15. I can't wait to see what Colbert or Jon Stewart do with it!

[sandnsea]

5. Exactly

Just like they did trying to find the WMD. Whatever moral compass this country had is long gone. I can't believe people laughed at any of this.

[debbierlus]

6. O.M.G. ---That is the most surreal, sick, weird thing I have EVER seen

He has the voice of a troll

The body of a pig without a muscularsketal system.

And, the rythem of a .....ah.....I'll get back to you...

[KoKo]

8. I know...I thought the TV snips were bad...but the "Introduction" is worse

to watch....SICK!!!!!!!!

[whistle]

9. Rove sounds like he is three sheets to the wind, smashed

[Kool Kitty]

12. Yep. He said he "rips the tops off small animals".

Where would you find the "top" of an animal-small or otherwise? I have to admit that I haven't watched the video (when KO ran it on his show, I had to turn my head-UGH), but I did hear it.

[MN ChimpH8R]

21. No wonder he's Chimpolini's right-hand pig

The blivet liked to blow up frogs with firecrackers when it was a "child." This is a very revealing Freudian slip. Cruelty to animals is highly indicative of a sociopathic personality.

I think I have to go hug my cat now.

[KoKo]

10. night kick......it's a good watch. n/t

[ComerPerro]

11. that was a good read, and I agree. BushCo makes jokes about thier crimes, reporters laugh? WTF?

[Rex]

13. They are having the time of their lives!

Now why would they act like that? On TV and in front of the 'home audience'?

[cascadiance]

14. Perhaps he meant that he was a practicing "flatulenticist"

Which would probably be more accurate with him being overfull of hot air most of the time!

Doesn't like Dan Quail either! Perhaps we can get him hunting with Cheney more often!

And Bush seems to have bad memory about "turd blossom" too! MC Turd Blossom!

Boy this scene looks reminiscent of something from "Fall of the Roman Empire" or Caligula.

[KoKo]

18. The shot of Bush smirking saying "Fire Him" was also like a drunk

shouting out from a bar. The media that watched this spectacle are not worthy of any respect from anyone. Agree,it was like a "Caligula" moment from that old PBS Mini-series about the Fall of Rome....intrigue everywhere, plots and lies and merriment while it all was falling down around their heads.

[steve2470]

16. k&r nt

[w4rma]

17. Omg. Rove is a sociopath. That whole thing was so awkward. (nt)

:wow:

[KoKo]

19. Kick for "TGIF Crowd" who didn't see the "Introduction" and the "heads of animals"

Ugh.

[KoKo]

20. One more kick...some DU'ers missed David Gregory in this Skit Rapping on Ripping Heads

and don't know what it's all about...
