Me: “So. Any new developments in the Plame affair?â€Â
Karl Rove’s breakfast burrito: “None that I know of, no.â€Â
Me: “Aw c’mon, now. You mean to tell me you’ve heard nothing new?”
Karl Rove’s breakfast burrito: “Well, I hear Cindy Sheehan thinks Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, and Bill Kristol had something to do with it—but then, nobody really takes her all that seriously anymore.”
Me: “Except Arianna, you mean. And Barbra Streisand.”
Karl Rove’s breakfast burrito: “Well, sure. But then, that’s kinda like noting that a couple of bent spoons are vouching for Uri Geller, isn’t it…?”
Me: “Yeah. I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Just in case anyone is interested in what real righteous indignation looks like (as opposed to using bereavement as an excuse to amplify your pre-existing political animus, a la CINDY!):

So schmoozing up to the media with a parade of celebrities is showing true courage, and going to fight a band of barbaric thugs bent on world domination is being a corporate dupe.
It is all so clear to me now.
Keeping that one in the permanent file, Fred. Good stuff.
Laura Ingraham was playing Streisand’s new anti-war song this morning. I’m sure Babs intended it to wrench the heart, not the stomach.
Not a lot of Uri Geller fans here, eh?
I thought Uri was overrated as “Buffy”, but did her best work in the “Scooby Doo” movies. Didn’t know about the spoons, though. Every day is a learning experience here on the interweb.
Laura would have made a lot better “Buffy” than Uri. And you can be damned sure if Laura rubbed my spoon it wouldn’t bend at all.
At all.
Johnny Carson once commented about entertainers who wanted to be taken as pundits(in a Playboy interview).”They think because they’re rich,they should be important”.
I like this series, but I keep thinking how unlikely it really is that Karl Rove eats a breakfast burrito (unless he sneaks back to Texas when I’m not looking).
