- The Fantastic Four have been at it again. Karl Rove,
also known as "The Human Torch", should have been in big trouble
after flaming CIA agent Valerie Plame. Exposing a CIA agent is a felony
and an act of treason -- a crime worthy of Doctor Doom himself. "Not
to worry," said Rove. "Nothing will come of it. The storm will
pass over. I'll get away with this one too."
-
- And Rove is right. All he has to do is play "Invisible
Girl" for a week or two until the press and the bloggers either move
on to the next Rove-generated crisis or are accused of not supporting the
troops. "They've been blogging us about 9/11for four years now,"
commented The Torch, "and NOTHING has come of it. We got caught with
our pants down totally -- yet we are still here. Why get our knickers all
in a twist over this?"
-
- Why indeed. With Bill "Mr. Fantastic" Frist
ruling Congress with an iron hand and the Supreme Court presided over by
Antonin "The Thing" Scalia, just exactly WHO is going to persecute
Mr. Rove? Not you and me.
-
- Face it, America. Rove OWNS the USA. As our Karl so aptly
described his tenure in the White House, "The Fantastic Four will
prove to be the longest-running comic book series in history."
-
- Like "The Thing", the Rove administration has
also become "a hideously misshapen monster with superhuman strength."
You can bet on it -- there will be no resignations, no impeachments and
no jail time for this fantastic foursome. Why? Because Rove has torched
all of our executive, legislative and judicial checks and balances. But
setting justice on fire is not Karl Rove's only super-power. While he is
busy being invisible, he can also render other objects invisible too --
such as our Bill of Rights (not to mention the economy).
-
- Yes, we can expect the Plame incident to go the way of
the 9/11 Commission, in-your-face election fraud, Gannongate and Downing
Street.
-
- "Plame off."
-
- PS: It's still not too late for America. We could still
be super-heroes. We could still show some balls. If those DC comic characters
aren't going to listen to us, then let's let our local city councils and
courtrooms and newspapers know. "We want our country back!" The
Fantastic Four's evil clones only hold power over us if we let them. "Plame
on!"

- The movie: Marvel's first family of comic superheroes
takes the world by storm as the longest running comic book series in history
comes to the big screen. Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, who can elongate
his body; Susan Storm/Invisible Woman, who not only can become invisible
at will but can render other objects invisible; Johnny Storm/Human Torch,
who can shoot fire from his finger tips and bend flame; and Ben Grimm/The
Thing, a hideously misshapen monster with superhuman strength, together
battle the evil Doctor Doom.

- From TruthOut: At the White House, a Day of Silence on
Rove's Role in CIA Leak, By Richard W. Stevenson: Nearly two years after
stating that any administration official found to have been involved in
leaking the name of an undercover C.I.A. officer would be fired, and assuring
that Karl Rove and other senior aides to President [sic] Bush had nothing
to do with the disclosure, the White House refused on Monday to answer
any questions about new evidence of Mr. Rove's role in the matter.

- From Michael: Why Plame Matters, By Ray McGovern: The
significance of the Plame affair is not about former U.S. ambassador Joseph
Wilson; or his wife, Valerie Plame; or Vice President [sic] Dick Cheney's
chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby; or even President [sic]
George W. Bush's alter ego, Karl Rove. White House v. Wilsons is about
Iraq, where our sons and daughters-and many others-are daily meeting violent
death. And it's about manipulation.

- From CLG News: Reveal Karl Rove as Source in Plame Case:
Now that Time Inc. has turned over documents to federal court, presumably
revealing who its reporter, Matt Cooper, identified as his source in the
Valerie Plame/CIA case, speculation runs rampant on the name of that source....
Tonight, on the syndicated McLaughlin Group political talk show, Lawrence
O'Donnell, senior MSNBC political analyst, claimed to know that name--and
it is, according to him, White House advisor Karl Rove.

- From Karena: Bush's Statement Encourages Administration
Crime Spree: "If anyone in my administration is found to have committed
a crime they will be fired."
-
- Found to have committed a crime does not mean indicted
on criminal charges. Found to have committed a crime does not mean going
to trial on said charges. Found to have committed a crime follows a lengthy
trial process which may or may not end in a guilty verdict. By the time
anyone in his administration may ever be found to have committed a crime,
Bush's term will be ending or over. [We should be so lucky! Bush is going
to be FOUND in the White House forever.]

- From Chris: How Then Can He Mourn? by E. L. Doctorow:
He is the President [sic] who does not feel. He does not feel for the families
of the dead; he does not feel for the thirty five million of us who live
in poverty; he does not feel for the forty percent who cannot afford health
insurance; he does not feel for the miners whose lungs are turning black
or for the working people he has deprived of the chance to work overtime
at time-and-a-half to pay their bills --- it is amazing for how many people
in this country this President does not feel.
-
- But he will dissemble feeling. He will say in all sincerity
he is
- relieving the wealthiest one percent of the population
of their tax
- burden for the sake of the rest of us, and that he is
polluting the air we breathe for the sake of our economy, and that he is
decreasing the safety regulations for coal mines to save the coal miners'
jobs, and that he is depriving workers of their time-and-a- half benefits
for overtime because this is actually a way to honor them by raising them
into the professional class.
-
- And this litany of lies he will versify with reverences
for God and the flag and democracy, when just what he and his party are
doing to our democracy is choking the life out of it.

- From "Amy doesn't go to the Amazon": This episode
is written but not typed. Someone needs to find a publisher who will give
poor sweet Mary Straitwell mstraitwell@yahoo.com a big cash advance so
she can get this freaking section TYPED. It involves walking on a rope
bridge in the mist high above a rainforest and finding a huge lizard in
one's tent and discussing the pros and cons of hallucinogenic drugs with
the local medicine man.

- I have become shocked and amazed lately at how bitter
and cynical and mean my e-mails are becoming -- but ever since Bush, Rove,
Rumsfeld and Cheney bombed several defenseless countries into rubble, failed
to protect my country on 9-11, scalped our treasury and blatantly STOLE
two national elections, I've just not been the same. I WANT to be a kind
and loving and caring person but the example being set for me by America's
"leaders" has precluded that from happening. My apologies.
-
- In defense of my country, I must fight fire with fire.
Those people in the White House are NASTY.
