    Tears heads off of small animals?, as in gerbils? I guess that’s the only way Karl can get them out of his own personal Habitrail .

    Violence agianst defenseless animals is NOT funny… It’s one of the warning signs of a future serial killer… Oh, wait, that’s right - Rove is partly responsible for the hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis… Mission Accomplished.

    Sick stuff.


  6. bob's your uncle Says:

    Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for…Ludicrous!


  7. TripMaster Monkey Says:

    And of course, in this administration, the torture and killing of small defenseless animals is the very height of humor.

    I’ll bet ol’ “Firecracker-Frog” Chimpy really got a giggle out of Turdblossom’s ‘joke’. Right up there with joking about rape, really.

    I’m so ashamed of this administration.


  8. ForTruth Says:

    I have a feeling Karl was making fun of people who think he is soooo evil. He is being a smart ass. I get it.

    Watch the video, then judge. The rap part was what was funny, I didn’t hear the jokes, just saw the rap.

    Pull the stick out.


  10. Zooey Says:

    I think…..I’m gonna be sick….as soon as I stop laughing…


  11. Train Says:

    Ummm… I thought this was supposed to be a video… So where’s the clip?


  12. AmandaBlow Says:

    i didn’t know Humpty Dumpty could rap! Not only have these neocons mocked God, but this Great Nation as well. God’s furious wrath will “tear the tops off neocon rats”! Waging war for profit in God’s name!


  13. TripMaster Monkey Says:

    ForTruth sez:

    Regardless of his motives, the fact that Karl would make a joke about this speaks volumes about his character.


  14. s Says:

    Absolutely Nauseating. The creeps are really coming unhinged aren’t they………..little greasy fat boy trying to be cool. Ain’t ever ever gonna happen. No matter how many people he pushes around and gets killed as a result of his insane insatiable ego and day job. He is an example of the worst this species can produce. In fact, there is a sense of horror about him. His glazed over smile, incredible ugliness, and completely cold heart. The children lying dead in Iraq are not real to him….or worse still maybe they are. To joke about killing small animals is not really funny……but of course Mr. Rove is unaware of this. Perhaps this is the beginning of the end of the lot of them…..they have lost any moral compass or human decency….if they ever had any. They deserve the full wrath of the American people.


  15. Zooey Says:

    The video is up….


  16. GSD Says:

    Ho..ho…ho……Bush is joking about the firing of 8 dedicated federal attorney’s. Hoo…ho…ho….The slavish press corps laps up the same tripe again and again.

    Maybe Bush will joke about the 500+ American amputees or the 30,000 seriously wounded or the 3,200 dead……

    Ho…ho..ho…….where are those weapons of mass destruction.

    Frigging Caligula.

    The world hates us thanks to this dildo.

    Grow a brain.

    Your willful ignorance isn’t an excuse for “not hearing the words”…

    I laugh when things are funny. This wasn’t.


  18. Zooey Says:

    I’ve never heard Rove’s voice before. He’s gross.

    Just the idea that these people are laughing and joking about this stuff is too sick. It’s laughable that Rove is able to show his face in public.


  19. Xenon Says:

    “Botched it?!?” Bush, you F-CKED UP, ROYALLY!!!


  20. TripMaster Monkey Says:

    Well…just finished watching the video…and I’m even more sickened than I was before.

    Karl’s quip about ripping the heads off of small animals went over like a lead balloon…the comedians had their hands full salvaging the sketch.


  21. GSD Says:

    If you listen closely you can hear Nero fiddling too.

    This is really pathetic and repulsive.

    Well, this is one time I am glad my old iMac won’t do the clip thing… I will say how evil and disgusting it all sound’s to me and that in this photo he realy does look like a dreadful ugly troll…Do all troll’s look like him.? Is being ugly, bloated and disgusting part of a reich winged thing these day’s cause they are all starting to look the same…Blessings


  23. rfinca Says:

    Omg, that was sickening!

    … and David Gregory fraternizing with the criminals.

    OK, I watched the video. It was nauseating.

    The rap part was what was funny

    That’s because Rove stopped talking during that part.

    I didn’t hear the jokes, just saw the rap.

    Perhaps you should watch the video, then.

    Pull the stick out.

    Don’t be a jackass. Animal cruelty isn’t funny. Anyone who thinks it is is disturbed.

    I agree the comedians had to carry this one. What I find funny is the fact that Rove made such a fool of himself.

    Hello, wake up, I was laughing at the obvious STUPIDITY of the whole thing. Rove looked like an idiot.

    Thank you. I’m sure he laughed at Jake’s rape joke too… Same vein of serious issues that are not fodder for tasteless jokes…


  28. Matt Says:

    God, that was painful.


  29. shane Says:

    Rove video wasn’t funny and obviously he was trying very hard to be funny. Bush’s clip about lawyers getting sympathy, on the other hand, is pathetic.
    Rove may get the fact that people aren’t happy out there and so he is trying to ingratiate himself. But Bush just doesn’t get it. He thinks it’s business as usual out there and nothing has changed. How out of touch can he be.

    Jake’s just not passive-aggressive. Otherwise, they have much in common when it comes to their sick senses of humor.

  48. gummitch Says:

    Not getting a lot of laughs, Karl. If only you could have had Stephen Colbert writing your material. . .


  49. d. b. cooper Says:

    The “small animal” crack was definitely a failed attempt at humor. I thought it actually ended up being funny in a very meta, so-unfunny-it-comes-around-and-starts-to-be-funny sort of way. The best part was when Sherwood was trying to get Bush to call Rove “Turdblossom” in front of everyone. Good subversive fun in the presence of evil men.


  50. Zooey Says:

    unbelievable,

    Jake is totally passive/aggressive! He uses weasel words, and couches things in such a way that he can say he was joking, or he was misunderstood.

    Robert will tell it the way he sees it to our faces, like him or not.
    I can respect that.

    You really ought to, FT…important to see the context of the ‘tearing the tops off of small animals’ content, as well as the response it received.


  53. Maria Says:

    You didn’t say the Whose Line guys were in it!


  54. Flood guy Says:

    saw the whole thing live on CSPAN. Rove is a frickin’ goofball. The “interview” which took place before the rap by the comedian of Rove, was quite scary, and if I was Bush I would dismiss him for being a total loser. Oh man, I haven’t seen your clip, but I hope it has the “interview”. Rove is a frickin’ goofy nutball.


  55. ForTruth Says:

    Alright, I’ll watch it, but I don’t want to puke. That juice was expensive stuff, that Naked juice. I guess I could have a plastic bag ready and just re-drink if necessary.

    don’t be such a queer. Rove is a dork and that’s all there is to say. Where you get so serious about the animal cruelty part, pretty much tells everyone you’re a wang.


  57. Jackie Says:

    Nice to know that Karl Rove is really thinking about Patrick Fitzgerald. He even has to call himself Patrick Fitzgerald knowing he was busted by him.
    Karl Rove remind me of Richard Nixon when he got caught and still kept smiling and lying on his way out of office. Let’s hope they have a talent show in jail where Rove is going. Karl will be someones girlfriend in jail and he’ll be crying with pain not laughing.

    I can respect that.
    Comment by Zooey — March 28, 2007 @ 11:55 pm

    It has nothing to do with like. He says something and then spends hours trying to backpeddle from what he says. I don’t respect that.

    Anyway, neither is worthy of the discussion… Later

  65. TripMaster Monkey Says:

    Flood guy sez:

    don’t be such a queer. Rove is a dork and that’s all there is to say.

    The man made a joke about tearing the heads off of animals. He expected people to laugh at this sick joke. It’s pretty pathetic that he can expose his true character in such a blatant way, and the worst you can say is ‘he’s a dork’.

    Where you get so serious about the animal cruelty part, pretty much tells everyone you’re a wang.

    When you get so flippant about the animal cruelty part, pretty much tells everyone you’re not all that different from Rove.

    So…would that make you a ‘dork’ as well?

    Animal cruelty is disgusting. The treatment of the resourses of the earth by you Washichu? It is obvious that you care nothing about your children’s children. When you do not even care for your children and their children, you show you have no soul.

    Oh my god - didn’t anybody warn you not to watch the whole thing at once. You can scrub your eyeballs but can you ever remove that vision from your brain.

    Mybe that’s why so many Bushies seem lobotomized, they were trying to cleanse memories of Rove.

    Oh no Wayne, you have you watch it. You have to watch the entire thing, from start to finish.

    I know its hard, but you know, war is hell and all that.

    Knowing where we are now, with regards to the war, the administration and its lies, the corruption and scandals, I think it is important that every American watch this video from start to finish.

    This is who they are.

    Behold the man.


  85. chingebush Says:

    It’s all a joke to these pukes, they are totally insulated from the pain and suffering they cause. I wish for once that someone would have the balls to put broadhead’s through Bush and Rove’s guts.

    Maye after a long life of cleaning their colostemy bags they could realize that there is real pain in the world.

    F*ck them and their supporters in their asses.

    You will be scarred for life, but remember, that which does not kill us, makes us stronger.

  101. Doctor Biobrain Says:

    What a dork. I was embarrassed for everyone in the room. I can’t believe that someone got paid good money to produce such a lame show. That had all the production values of a Knights of Columbus meeting. And that rap was embarrassing to white people everywhere twenty years ago. Now it’s just sad. Really really sad.


  102. buzzbomb Says:

    Absolutely Pathetic.
    Rove: I like hunting quails.
    (Crickets chirping) Don’t you remember Cheney was quail hunting when he shot that lawyer. Isn’t that funny, man oh man that is funny. Ha ha haha. Shooting a man in the face is AWESOME. Thats comedy.
    I think Karl was checking his messages half way through his uncooridinated dance. I see they had to get some “street cred” by having the black guy on stage.
    I can’t even put into words how much I hate that bloated sack of crap. That bloated face, whispy hair clinging in vain to his shiny head. AAAAARHGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  103. Vance Says:

    And the media will comment on how witty the potus was….I hope that pig watches one of his skank daughters be raped. Sorry for the anger, but this has gone on for far to long.

    You will be scarred for life, but remember, that which does not kill us, makes us stronger.

    Cancer, strokes, and heart attacks don’t make you stronger. They weaken you. This video had a little bit of each one of those in it. I feel embarrassed for entertainers everywhere.

    #66 - Monkey Tripper

    Rove is a sleazeball who is responsible for the murders of 100’s of thousands of Iraqis, and you’re weeping for the “concept” of a tortured squirrel.

    Why are you such a racist squirrel lover? A squirrel can’t return your love. A squirrel can’t teach children how to love. Iraqis can. Why do you hate Iraqis?

    Zooey,

    I appreciate where you are coming from, I read your posts and like what you say and who you are, but I agree with Vance. Enough is enough,

    Anyone out there who is paying attention should have total hatred for Bush and all his supporters. This is beyond your team-my team. These are evil bastards that need to be taken down.

    Tell you what, you knock your head against the wall in a pissing match with Jake, Flaco, Patrick1, howsad, exley MA and VV, and I will play the bad guy.

    I have tried to have a discussion with these maggots, and that is a losing proposition. You can not rationalize with ideological fools. But keep on trying. I appreciate your efforts.

    Me, I am going to be the guy poking a stick in his eye.

    After they got on stage, Rove, when asked what his name was, said, “Peter Fitzgerald”, Then about a second later, grabs the mike and says, “Patrick Fitgerald.”

    So he was trying to be funny but completely botched the joke, if you could even call it that. He reminded me of one of the jerk IT guys at work. Trying to be funny but completely failing.

    The host, (I’m not sure you can call him a comedian) sucked big ones to be sure, but watch the video again, and this time watch Roves epileptic gyrations at the end.

    All comedy is about laughing at the misfortune of others. Or at an unexpected development. Either way, anybody who ever laughs is taking up time they could be spending fretting about something horrible that you’re too lazy to find out about. If you disagree with me, you’re racist, abhorrent, and way beneath me. Hater!!

    Don’t you understand that when you inhale to laugh, you breath in millions of living microbes that die in your lungs? How can you laugh when each of your lungs is like Auschwicz and Trablinca? C’mon, laugh, Hitler, laugh!

    Now think of the Moabiites slaughtered by the Israelites in the old Testament. There! Feel good, laughing Stalin? Laughter is so fascist!

  139. The Artist Formerly Known as WORFEUS Says:

    Rove couldn’t even get his big line right.

    When the non-comedian (ok, maybe I’m being unfair, maybe this is what passes for a comedian with a republican) asked Rove his name, Rove replied, “Peter Fitzgerald”.

    :|

    Boggles the mind.


  140. chingebush Says:

    Agreed Zooey.

    The evil is in the perpetrator, even if it caused him the grief and suffering you wish he felt, it can’t come from another.

    You only wish that these guys were human enough to realize the horrible wreck they have made of things. That epiphany in itself would be the catalyst that would open their eyes.

    It ain’t gonna happen. They are not living in the same world we do. They are insulated from reality.

    I think the wish was more on Bush –so’s he’d have to watch it. Problem is: it prolly wouldn’t bother him at all, so what’s the point? If it ain’t being done to him, “God’s Little Helper,” then he probably doesn’t notice it.

    I’m convinced that a parallel species evolved alongside humans and its members are so like humans in appearance that the split has gone completely unnoticed. Here, in the brain, where a conscience should have developed, there is a black, gritty, oily substance which has yet to be explored by science. It will no doubt turn out to be anti-soul, or something along those lines.

  149. I WORFEUS Says:

    Nice to know that Karl Rove is really thinking about Patrick Fitzgerald. He even has to call himself Patrick Fitzgerald knowing he was busted by him.

    Yea. Except he didn’t call himself Patrick Fitzgerald.

    He called himself PETER Fitzgerald.

But when I came back to the station and saw the set up I with a very affable Karl, I suspected this was set up to humanize Rove before the subpoenas started rolling in. Then I saw that Wilson guy from Fox News was in charge of the dinner and that clinched it. More propaganda brought to you by the fine folks from RNC/Fox.

    Putting Karl Rove up there, while embarrassing to Rove, was even more humiliating for the journalists who never seem to be able to get him to answer a serious question.

  176. veritas Says:

    Blowfish-Karl needs a bit of levity before facing criminal charges - maybe he’ll take his “gig” on the road soon? It will certainly bring him many admirers in the “big house” as that’s where this comic is headed. And, yes, he’s definitely not in good health as evidenced by the “water-retaining Blowfish syndrome” we see here in this clip.

    But of course, he always was a little, nasty-looking fat boy all his life.

    I know: Maybe he and Dubya can make it a duet: FRAT BOY AND FAT BOY DOES WASHINGTON!!


  177. veritas Says:

    Here are the two top men in this country acting like flaming jackasses in public. When the president reduces himself to making jokes about attorneys when he’s at the heart of this obvious “obstruction of justice case”, well, it only shows what little intellect he really has. Buffoonery in the White House and that isn’t good.


  178. veritas Says:

    Besides, it’s time for Rove and Bush to sit on the hot seat for their obvious roles in the Valerie Plame affair. If they didn’t know what was happening under them (in the OVP), then they should have known as part of doing their job. EVERYONE knew at that time that Karl Rove was at the center of PlameGate but he managed to slime his way out of it all - allowing Libby to become the “fall guy”. But, let’s face it - we ALL knew that Bush himself and his CYA guy, RoveReich were as guilty as sin.

    GONZALES-GATE will be the undoing of this presidency which should have occurred during PLAME-GATE. By allowing Bush and Rove to slide away at PlameGate, we have enabled them to do even more damage to this country.

    It is the responsibility of every citizen to do their duty in bringing justice back to our government and to hold Rove and Bush personally responsibility for this obvious obstruction of justice.

    Bush now has so many articles of impeachment that it boggles the mind. Recognizing, of course, the amount of time and energy it takes to impeach a president, it would still be in the best interest of this country, both nationally and internationally, to separate the citizens from the corrupt officials by impeachment in an attempt to reinstate a level of patriotism which is abysmally low right now as well as to elevate our reputation internationally.

    It’s obvious that only abou 20% of americans align themselves with this president….and that number is rapidly dwindling as he draws the line in the sand with the people and continues to have public tantrums and a virtual pissing contest with the people who pay his salary.

    He stole both elections (thanks to Jebbie, Katherine Harris & Diebold in 2000 as well as Ken Blackwell, et al in Ohio in 2004). His biggest mistake was “overreaching” by a second hacking of voting computers which gave his dirty deeds time to catch up to him. He could have walked away in 2004 with some shred of integrity and a dubious legacy; now these weekly scandals will be his legacy and he will be listed in the history books as “The WORST President Ever in the history of this country”.


  179. veritas Says:

    P.S. Bush was simply too addicted to the intoxicating mixture of adolescent buccaneering and adult perfidy to relinquish it after 4 years…..but his second term will be his total “undoing”.
