Now tagless for your comfort.

Also, any mention of Karl Rove makes me laugh my head off, because he was on American Dad, with bats.

That made me laugh my ass off. "Nonono, I'm good here," He says, stopped at the threshold of the church. And the raven delivering the message. Beautiful.

What is even happening?

I blame Karl Rove. Or possibly the Riddler.

They're nothing alike. The Riddler will lay out his nefarious schemes in great detail. Go Riddler. Choose Riddler!

I mean, does your religion have a forcefield?

No, but I do take comfort in it not caring whether I drink Diet Coke or not. Not that I want to, but I COULD.

You know what would be cool? If when they drag Rove away in cuffs he does this. And ends it with ...and I would have gotten away with it too if it hadn't been for you meddling kids.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Karl Rove is Satan's pig. He sweats evil.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't willingly exposing an undercover CIA agent and risking the possibility that they could be killed by enemy powers actually an act of treason? You know, the sort of thing the Rosenbergs were tried for?

Remember the thing about the definition of "is?"

They must prove that he knew Plame was undercover. And he never mentioned her by name, just as "the wife of...is a CIA agent."

So, no, he probably won't be tried for treason, but it'd be nice if he were indicted for it.

Should be noted that the whole thing makes me sad, and that after reading the study on incompetence, I now understand clearly how this whole thing happened.

Yes, and for extra fun, let's imagine how this would be playing out if it had happened under the Big Dog's administration.

Of course he probably wouldn't have tried to sell the yellow cake story that started this all off, so it's an entirely academic exercise.
