    “Now is not the time to go in the fetal position and whine.”

    … Rove continued: “I’ll tell you when it’s time to go up in the fetal position and whine. And believe me, it’s not far off.”


  2. ergonomicist says:

    Rove is absolutely right. Now is the time for conservatives to stand up, confess, take their punishment, and commence atoning for their sins (a lifetime commitment).

    Shrub’s a special case. He used to have trouble sleeping without his blanky, so KKKarl told him specifically to go into the fetal position and whine. Since then, Shrub sleeps like a baby.


  5. veritas says:

    I hope KKKKarl at least demonstrated the fetal position for the audience. After all, he’s going to find himself in that position in prison in the near future.


  6. veritas says:

    Perhaps KKKKarl was also sucking his thumb for effect and did his rendition of “Lil Karl Horner”…. sat in the corner, eating his curds and whey…stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum and said: what a total jackass am I”.


  7. veritas says:

    Rove is the poster child for a whining baby stuck in the fetal position. Which end is his head anyway?


  8. werenotgonnatakeit says:

    TOO LATE!!! LOL!


  9. Jay Randal says:

    Karl Rove can go into a fetal position and never come out of it. Put him into a hospital for the criminally insane.


  10. Zooey says:

    Our boy Karl sure knows how to stay on message.

    Hey Karl, what’s up with that sweat stain down the back of your shirt?

    And an equal number disprove of the George Bush presidency, now which one is do you think is going to bite the republicans in the ass more?


  15. RUCerious says:

    Right, Karl, that’s only after all the leather is off and you bask in the afterglow.


  16. Art says:

    That’s because they haven’t impeached Bush yet.

    Ands this relates to Karl Rove’s speech how?

    Oh, right, it doesn’t.

    This attempt to Distract and Hijackâ„¢ has been brought to you by the RNC Troll Dept. “serving your misinformation needs since 2001″.


  18. a Michigan boy says:

    A ha ha ha ha ha…
    Karl’s speech was to the Marquette County (Michigan) Republicans,
    at the Holiday Inn!
    As a former Yooper,
    (’cause we lived above the bridge, take that trolls!)
    I can tell you he picked a non-audience worthy of his diminishing stature.
    Ahhahahaha…
    Have a pasty while your there, or five, you pastey white overweight blob of scum!
    Aha hah ah!


  19. the republic of stupidity says:

    I’d suggest someone give KKKarl a “swiftboat” right in the ‘nads, so he’d start rolling around in a fetal postion and whining too, but I’m not sure he has a pair to “swiftboat”.


  20. Mr. Bush Goes To Hell says:

    Karl’s REAL Message to the “conservatives”:

    Continue to STONEWALL, OBFUSCATE, and LIE about the CRIMES and GENOCIDE we have committed…

    Your REWARD WILL BE with US in hell…

    er, I mean “HEAVEN”.. (with SATAN, you SUCKERS!!!)

    I “misspoke“!!!!

    You’re right. But what we disapprove of is that this congress has not implemented impeachment proceedings against these criminal bastards. And your unwavering support makes you a traitor to the country your father and grandfather stood for. Hope you’re proud.

    A couple of minor clarifications, Zooey.

    1) That isn’t a SWEAT stain, and

    2) It’s not down the back of his shirt.


  25. Hedley Lamarr says:

    Pat Buchanan used to call it “hiding in the tall grass”. Now he’s hiding from the brown people.

    Hey Flaco, I must have missed it when Congress became exclusively Democratic. 71% disapprove of the way CONGRESS is doing it’s job, NOT the DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS. And part of the reason why they are so disappointed is because the Republics have been filibustering or threatening to filibuster anything the Democrats try to do. You know, the “up or down vote” filibuster that the Republics threatened to take away completely if the Democrats dared to use it.

    I would be willing to bet if the question was “Do you approve of the job that the Democrats are doing in Congress”, the approval rating would be much higher. After all, someone recently took a poll that showed that 58% of the people in the US want to have a Democratic president in 2008 and only 35% want to have a Republic President. That means that a lot of Republics are wanting to have a Democratic President in 2008.

    Hey, you know me. Just trying to make things CLEAR. :-D!!!

    Ever see “The Caine Mutiny” w/ H Bogart as a naval officer who’s crew seizes control of the ship he’s on during a strom and then is put on trial afterwards (good movie)?

    Bogart’s nickname behind his back is “Old Yellowstain”. The SSers in WW II were called Brownshirts. Perhaps we should start referring to KKKarl as “Old Brownpants”, or perhaps just KKKarl “Brownpants” Rove.

  30. TROLLBAIT3000 says:

    Why would the be whining in the first place? Because they feel the backlash coming? I thought everything they are doing was legitimate. What Karl meant to say was, “You know, and have known all along, that what we are doing is illegal – did you think we’d protect you? You enjoy the crime, enjoy doin’ the time.” Next, he’s going to try to tell them that being ass-raped in prison, or having their necks streched with piano wire (a la Moussolini), is actually quite pleasant.

    Shorter Rove:

    Never tell the truth, even if you’re caught in a lie or with your hand in the till.


  31. Jim says:

    Right after his “speil”, he was followed by a Hitler and Moussalini lookalike, with accompanyment by “A Falwell”, in a half hour singalong…..
