Where do bad folks go when they die?

There are times when a belief in a literal, Lake o’ Fire hell would come in handy—if only for the hope that a person like Karl Rove will eventually roast in it:

“[D]id Bush lie us into war? Absolutely not,” Rove wrote in his 516-page book, “Courage and Consequence: My Life as a Conservative in the Fight.”

“Would the Iraq War have occurred without WMD? I doubt it,” he wrote. “Congress was very unlikely to have supported the use-of-force resolution without the threat of WMD. The Bush administration itself would probably have sought other ways to constrain Saddam, bring about regime change, and deal with Iraq’s horrendous human rights violations.”

“But I am under no illusions; the failure to find stockpiles of WMD did great damage to the administration’s credibility,” he wrote. “Our weak response in defense of the president and in setting the record straight, is, I believe, one of the biggest mistakes of the Bush years.”

He goes on to say, “So who was responsible for the failure to respond? I was. I should have stepped forward, rung the warning bell, and pressed for full-scale response. I didn’t.”

Oh, so your regret is that you failed to spin it properly? Please proceed directly to hell.

Shorter Turdblossom: Calling everyone who dared to question Presidunce Bush a traitorous terrorist hugger, wrecking a CIA operation, endangering agents and throwing more soldiers into Iraq was the weak response. We should have sent all dissenters on a “hunting trip” with Dick Cthcheney.

Betty, I think Karl should have stuck with this Harper’s parody of the Iraq war narrative.

Fuck Karl. Sheepishly conceding an inarguable fuck-up is the time-honored trick of unrepentant monsters who believe they can deal-down a long list of felonies by pleading guilty to a misdemeanor.

516 pages? In addition to all the other destruction he’s caused, Rove seems to have declared a war on trees.

The real kicker is that the world should be hearing a simultaneous translation of Rove’s self-defense as he stands in the dock at the Hague, not in the pages of the obligatory prop of all well-connected American scoundrels nowadays.

The thing about psychopaths, as Rove is so kindly demonstrating, is that no matter how well they fake it, they just don’t get how the rest of us think, what with the empathy and all that.  That’s why they tend to self-destruct in the long run.  Like, say, writing a book that’s supposed to serve as a validation of your actions which winds up being a demonstration of what a vile fucking fucker you are.

Did I hear Lawrence O’Donnell right the other night when, in describing the time period when he was a Federal target for prosecution that when finally found out that he wouldn’t be indicted, he cried?

Dear god why does this not surprise me?


That little bitch, good to know my Bitchdar still hasn’t failed me.

He cried even harder when Jeff Gannon was outed and he couldn’t come play at the White House any more…

Please proceed directly to hell

.
Hell’s too good for this porcine, pusillanimous, putrescent piece of pig (I know, redundant) shit.

Until this fucktard is either imprisoned, or hoisted on a public gibbet, American justice is essentially moribund.

Given the vapidity of the press, I hold little hope for this republican experiment started in the late 18th century.  I’d like the experiment to continue, and I thought I voted that way in 2008, but I may have been wrong.

Where do bad folks go when they die?

The editorial pages of the Washington Post?

The editorial pages of the Washington Post?

No doubt.  After not bothering to look for a couple of years, I checked it out today to find this:

Would Ronald Reagan join the Tea Party?
» STEVEN F. HAYWARD | Yes. And he might even vote for Sarah Palin.

Also featured: Lamar Alexander shilling for the student loan industry, and some AEI tool advocating free-market kidney sales.  Sometimes I mourn the death of the newspaper industry, and sometimes I read our remaining national papers.
