Long Story Short: One last bit of Bush-bashing.

Karl Rove is laughable but now he's trying to be funny... I hope.

Today on Face the Nation he stated that Barack Obama will pick a VP based on politics not "readiness".

Is he honestly trying to make us forget that George Bush has proved to be the most unready president in American History? (Leaving aside, for now, the fact that he yet to win either election honestly.)

It's clear to all but the most avid neocon that Chimpy McFlightsuit was never the sharpest knife in the drawer, but here's an enlightening anecdote that Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind recently revealed.

Little King George was becoming miffed in his first days in office. It seems that during the cabinet meetings the staff was directing all their questions to vice-president Dick Cheney. After several meetings of this Bush had a tete-e-tete with Mr. Cheney saying, in essence, that he wanted his ball back. Dick said he'd no longer take questions and would, instead, simply take notes. (Presumably so he could tell Bush what all those adults in the room were talking about afterwards. =mike=)

I rest my case.

Without doubt Barack Obama will pick a veep based on political advantage because, as near as I can tell, there are few who are more ready to lead this country than Mr. Obama himself. So Mr. Rove's statement is very much along the line's of "I'll betcha the sun goes down tonight."

That's nice, Karl. Now get back to your cave. Cthulhu is waiting for his barbecued puppy tongues.
