angry

[jaina]

You all know that I almost never talk politics on this journal. But today I'm making a special exception. From the AP:

Speaking in a ballroom just a few miles north of ground zero, Karl Rove said the Democratic party did not understand the consequences of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

"Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers," Rove said Wednesday night. "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war."

Okay, in the first place, that's blatantly false. Blatantly. In the second place, that is a fucking disgusting thing to say, on SO many levels. It's crude. It's divisive. It smacks of opportunism. And did I mention the part where it's COMPLETELY UNTRUE!?

So, so angry right now. The whole mess about cutting public broadcasting funding isn't helping my mood, either.

Take a deep breath and repeat after me.

Karl Rove is unimportant. Karl Rove is unimportant. Karl Rove is unimportant.

The best revenge against him is actually to just ignore him. Make him irrelevant.

Unfortunately, Karl Rove is important. He is one of the president's closest long-time advisors and the garbage that spews from his mouth every day influences the so-called leader of the free world.

Nothing will change in this country or its current goverment if we pretend that it doesn't exist.

The only thing I see is the so-called leader of the free world driving the country into the ground so that other countries (such as China) become larger world powers than the US even sooner...

I don't want to ignore his influence, ... I want to get to a point where he has no influence.

But sadly such is probably unrealistic to hope for.
