Turner a New Corner
August 13th, 2007Karl Rove resigned today. I don’t know what that means for the White House. I do know that it’s come far too late to do anyone any good as the country is a mess and the Bush Presidency is being destroyed by the policy incompetence and moral failures of Karl Rove. Some might say, “He won’t be making policy anymore, and that’s a plus,” to which I say: “Now Bush will. Or worse: Cheney.” So, we’re not out of the woods yet and won’t be until the President has left office and his replacement exorcizes the Oval Office. For what it’s worth, I think King Turd is overrated by the press, Democrats and George W. Bush as his track record is weak (.500 winning percentage, as he lost 2000 and 2006 while winning 2002 and 2004, but 2004 is more attributable to John Kerry than Karl Rove, in my opinion), and Prince Blossom will always be a poor, evil man’s Mark Hanna in my book.
Ted Turner pledged one billion dollars to the UN ten years ago but hasn’t paid up yet, and won’t for at least eight more years, which’ll be eight years past the original due date. I’m all for philanthropy, and it’s awfully generous of him to have given anything, but if you make a pledge you’ve made a pledge and you have to keep it.
