Effete snobs for peace!
Rove slams Bush’s 240 million American critics on the Rush Limbaugh Radio Show For Psychotics .. called us ‘elite, effete snobs.’
Um, I always thought just using the word "effete" make you, well, effete.
And Limbaugh listeners said, "Hmm, effete .. he must be talkin' 'bout their I-talian shoes!"
I guess calling Democrats faggots doesn't work that well for Republicans anymore.
These guys haven't had any new material since Agnew.. because if my history is correct, the last guy who called a president's millions of critics "effete snobs" was Spiro Agnew .. and the reason there was no President Spiro Agnew was because he was a crook too .. something to do with bribery indictments and jail time.
Here's to history repeating itself with Rove!
From newsmax.com: "Appearing by phone on "The Rush Limbaugh Show," President Bush’s chief political strategist Karl Rove slammed Bush’s critics as "elite, effete snobs.”
In his first interview since announcing he was leaving the White House, Rove also revealed why he thought Hillary Clinton was a "fatally flawed” candidate for president.
Rove told radio host Rush Limbaugh that he is often "amused” by references to Bush as "brain dead” or "frat boy.”
In his Wednesday interview he told Rush: "This is one of the best-read people I’ve ever met. This is a Harvard MBA. A Yale undergraduate whose major was history and whose passion is history.”
Those "elite, effete snobs” who criticize him — the "people on the Upper East Side who are putting their nose in the air about him — can’t hold a candle to him.”[..]"
There's just something about a nasty little doughboy going on a nasty drug addict's radio show to defend the first retarded president in American history -- and the worst foreign policy debacle in world history -- that somehow makes it okay for me to be called effete.
Rove said: “What they don’t like about him is that he is common sense, that he is Middle America.”
Common sense? LOL! A hilarious accusation, considering the state of our nation.
I'm so snobby I keep forgetting that Middle America didn't get a Yale MBA paid for by a rich politician daddy .. plus three or four companies, a state, and a country to TRASH.
I wonder if we're talking about the same person -- an east coast aristocrat and Ivy League cheerleader born in Connecticut .. and raised at a millionaire's walled seaside compound in Kennebunkport, Maine? That's Middle America?
But then, we must remember that Turd Blossom's vision is fogged by hero worship. His reaction in his own words, when he saw W for the first time, in a leather jacket, jeans and cowboy hat -- "Wow! I mean, WOW!"
I should make a Village People joke right about here .. but I won't.
Rove's win-at-all-costs style did great damage to the body politic. He lied and broke the law (the Hatch Act). He was a master at playing on people's fears and hatreds .. appealing to the lowest common denominator.
His candidate always won by the narrowest of margins, and Rove tipped the scales every time with the slimiest of dirty tricks.
We'll have to wait to see how much long-term damage he has done to his own party.
If the GOP starts 2009 without the House, the Senate OR the White House, that'll be bad .. but not necessarily permanent.
But if the same situation happens again in 2011 and 2013, the Republicans will know who to blame.
And now, he rides off into the sunset .. leaving behind him a White House in shambles, the Bush Presidency smoldering in ruins amid the wreckage of the Republican Party....
And, usually when people leave public life they give upbeat exit interviews and are positive and gracious to their political adversaries.
But, the ones who leave under a dark cloud and suspect that they will be raked over the coals when history uncovers the Truth, immediately start lashing out, calling names and blaming straw men for sabotaging their greatness.
The Crap Heap of History is down the hall to the right, Karl.
