In the spirit of Karl Rove’s resignation, spend the morning after (as you nurse your hangover from last nights He’s-Finally-Gone bash) reading this very funny Karl Rove rap, via the wyvern920 Web site. A sample:
Now listen up suckers
Don’t get the jitters
But MC Rove tears the head off critters
That’s true, it’s cruel to see
But he’s gonna be about animal cruelty
He’s a man, he’s a treasure trove
Tell me what is your name?
I’m MC Rove
The full entry is pretty spectacular…
And here are a few more blog entries that did Mr. Rove justice in the aftermath of this August shocker:
- Think Progress has a nice excerpt from a Rove interview in which he refers to himself as Moby Dick — the public responses are pretty hilarious ["Well, he's half right, anyway"].
- Ben Guest’s Blog links us to a hilarious comic panel in which Karl finds Plato and has some questions to ask.
- Mother Jones’ MoJo Blog posted a nice article putting in check the whole “singing Rove’s praises” thing that’s been such an annoyance in the local dailies (even the Times has been pretty flimsy on hard-hitting truisms).
- Bring It On! Election ’08 kindly posted a link to John Edwards’ statement on the Rove retirement. That Edwards. So articulate.
- Queerty reviews a caricature offered by Pretty On The Outside of Karl Rove — this is the kind of art that makes you wish you’d taken Drawing 101.
- The always-on John Nichols reports for The Nation’s blog: “Karl Rove’s never-particularly brilliant career as a manipulator of the political processes of the nation will end as it began: mired in scandal and failure.”
- Wonkette has the best composite of Rove rumors and silly editorials roaming the net, nicely summed up in two little political packages here and here.
- Half Canadian states the obvious.
- Jossip‘s article is titled “Karl Rove Just Wants To Spend Some Time With His College Aged Son Who Doesn’t Even Live At Home Anymore Okay?”
- American Street offers this disturbing picture of the President with a horrifying bunny.
- And finally: Mary Murtz, ladies and gentlemen.
Enjoy.
