rssKarl Rove Clings to That Old-Time Religion

My LULZ of the day came from this Karl Rove prognostication, which I saw courtesy of ThinkProgress’ Faiz Shakir:
“One year from now, Gitmo won’t be closed…. If it is, there will be an uproar in the U.S. about where to put these people.”
Uh, maybe, I guess, who knows. But it’s delicious to see Rove still clinging to this idea. In 2006, recall, he boasted that Democratic opposition to warrantless surveillance and — wait for it — support for civilian trials for Guantanamo detainees would prove a punishing blow for the Dems in the midterm elections. How’d that work out?
Oh, and a couple months ago, someone you may have heard of won one of the greatest American electoral landslides of the past 100 years by campaigning against the Iraq war, against torture and against Guantanamo. Democrats might not really be so scared here.
In fairness to Rove, he won two difficult elections in the wake of 9/11 by scaring the hell out of people, including one amidst a disastrous war waged for discredited reasons. So you can’t really blame him for thinking the magic will last forever. But he kind of looks like a coked-up Dirk Diggler during a crucial moment in “Boogie Nights” right now. You know the one I’m talking about.

I think Obama needs to comment on the issue of exec privilage.
The republican congress wanted to continue investigations into Bill Clinton. But President Bush supported Bill Clinton's claim to executive privilage. So, it seems the least Obama can do is return the favor and at least comment on the issue!

I would also want to comment on this constant reference to Republicans using fear to get votes. What exactly do you call Obama telling us all we have to pass his economic plan without reasonable time for debate because “it may soon be to late to save the economy”.
I think that is using fear to push your agenda! I can not see how taking a week or two to fully debate this bill is going to destroy the economy!
