Why Rove must kill the Internet

By Wesley Pruden

Published August 9, 2005

Conspiracy theories are the hors d'oeuvres for small minds. You could ask Howard Dean, the Rev. Jesse Jackson or even Oliver Stone (if you knew his e-mail address). The usual cause of evil in the world, as Dean Rusk famously explained to John F. Kennedy, is that at any given time half the people in the world are awake.     

Nevertheless, sometimes. ...    

 Why, for example, are we seeing a spike in the number of new studies purporting to show that nobody much reads Internet Web logs -- or "blogs" -- except the people who write them? Why are dark and sinister forces trying to persuade us that "blogs" are merely the work of unemployed geeks in pajamas (or worse, geeks in their BVDs), sitting around the house with nothing better to do than let fly into the cosmos half-baked opinions on everything they don't know anything about, which is a lot? Could this be the work of Karl Rove, who is trying to prevent the exposure of his nefarious deeds by public-spirited bloggers, who are (just ask any of them) the last barrier between us and ruin?    

 Blogdom is big. This frightens evil-doers. The Blogosphere is so big, in fact, that it has even been noticed by the editorial page of the New York Times. By the estimate of Technorati, a Web site that keeps up with such things, there are already 14.2 million blogs, and 900,000 postings are put up every day. All but 11 of them are dedicated to exposing Karl Rove. (The other 11 are dedicated to outing Robert Novak as the outer of Valerie Plame, who baked the infamous yellow cake and blamed the indigestion on her husband.)....

Poor blogosphere. I'll miss it when Karl Rove gets rid of it (ouch! My eyes hurt from rolling so hard!)

Not scrappleface but not bad.

[Theresawithanh]

LOL and Wes Pruden bump!

"Rove had already been [at work for George W.] for a year, and already a black and a Russian had died. Rove's favorite drink? You guessed it: a Black Russian."

Priceless.

Is that before or after he takes my guns and my freedom of speech, due process, etc, etc, etc, and forces me to become a slave working for Halliburton

OK... so I went ahead and read the whole article. I'm left with:

Who,Wesley Pruden or the huffingtonpost guy?

[potlatch]

LOL, we've got to do something about this! Since Hillary would like to do something about the internet, we need more anti Hillary blogs!!

[writer33]

No. He actually gets paid to edit articles, among other things, and then gets to write one occasionally.

[writer33]

Thanks for the ping. Enjoyed it.

One of the most effective of the Rove exposure blogs is written by one Greg Gutfeld on huffingtonpost.com, which is Arianna Huffington's summer-camp project this year

HAHAHAHAHA

[Slings and Arrows]

I forgot to call my grandmother today. Karl Rove had TWO grandmothers. The swine!
