Rove About Eating Crow
April 23rd, 2007Sheryl Crow and Karl Rove got into a fight last night and Crow’s recap is available here. It’s kind of funny to read about her lecturing Rove, and I agree that he doesn’t care about reality, but the last paragraph is what I’d like to speak about.
Ultimately, we were left wondering what on Earth Mr. Rove was talking about when he said “the American people.” If more than 60% of American voters, the Supreme Court, over 400 cities, the US National Academy of Sciences, numerous major US corporations, and others don’t constitute the American people, then what does? The truth is, if this administration cared one iota about the American people, they would have addressed this problem long ago, and the sad reality is that this problem has been left to us, all of us, since the current administration has abandoned this issue entirely. In the absence of true leadership, we must guide ourselves. We can solve this, but we had better act fast.
The people guiding themselves? That’s why we’re a Democracy, man, because the people can’t guide themselves. It’s a shame, though, when the people pick someone who can’t guide them, either.
