My second brief conversation with Karl Rove’s breakfast burrito

Me: “So.  What do you think about the idea that the original leaker is Judith Miller—that she is in fact in jail protecting herself as the source?”*

Karl Rove’s breakfast burrito: “Again—I’m not at liberty to discuss any of this.”

Me: “Well, it seems at least plausible, doesn’t it?—Judy’s upset that Wilson’s self-serving op-ed in the Times undercuts her own Times reporting on Iraq, so she pushes back in such a way that it calls into question the Ambassador’s motives…?  I mean, Newsday does identify a Washington meeting Miller had with an unnamed government official on July 8, does it not?”*

Karl Rove’s breakfast burrito: “I can neither confirm or deny any of that –”

Me: “– Although, it could simply be that Miller is protecting somebody in Cheney’s office.  Tell me, is it Dick Hannah?  Am I close?  Howsabout Stephen Hadley?  Or Robert Joseph –?”*

breakfast burrito: “I wouldnt know.  And even if I did, I couldn’t say –”

Me::  “– William Luti?  Richard Perle?  James Woolsey…?  C’mon, breakfast burrito—give me something here.  What about Walter Pincus?”

Karl Rove’s breakfast burrito: “I find ‘Pincus’ a fun word to say.”*

Me:  “Yeah, me too, now that you mention it.  Sounds a bit naughty, doesn’t it?”*

Karl Rove’s breakfast burrito: “Sure.  If you know where to put it and how to use it, it does…”

    Wait, does that come with sour cream?

  2. Scott P says:

    That burrito knows more than it’s letting on.  I think you’d get more information if you softened it up a bit first with stuff like “Cilantro.  Love it or hate it?” or “Lots of jalapeños or a bit of serranos in the salsa?” Y’know, get it talking all friendly-like.

    Then hit it with the probing, Pulitzer-winning stuff.  It might be worth a try.

    Oh, come on. Who really cares?…

  4. Matt Moore says:

    Isn’t that burrito a bit stale by now?

  5. stormy70 says:

    I wondered how the Pincus clan got their namesake. Now that I know, I will go get a labotomy (sp? who really cares), so that I may never think of it again.

  6. Joe says:

    I’m a little disturbed by the homo-centric tone of your last few posts, Jeff. Especially this one – I mean, clearly “Karl Rove’s breakfast burrito” is just a thinly vieled reference to Cheney’s package, and by extension, his large Presidential ambitions.

    And just the thought of Cheney as the Big Guy has Helen all in a dither.

  7. dwilkers says:

    I always thought Karl looked more like the bagel and cream cheese type…

    RIGHT WING TOOL! Judith Miller is a martyr at the altar of the Freedom of the Press! She is a shining beacon in the dark Bushaliburtlian night that has…oh #$%&, I can’t finish this with a straight face…c’mon burrito, give us the inside scoop.

  9. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Been out all day.  Looking over this post again now though, I giggled. 

    No idea why—though my wife says it’s because I keep skipping my pills.

    The main student finance application lets you apply for Student Loans and grants from the government – and, in many cases, a bursary from your university or college.

    You’ll need to use one of several different forms to make your main application for student finance. Which one depends on whether you’re:

    * studying full time
    * studying part time
    * taking a teacher training, social work, healthcare or Open University course

    You’ll need to make a new application for each year of your course.

    Sounds like extra chesse on that burrito

  15. I don’t understand whats good or bad credit, in view of economic meltdown.
