Rove to Speak at Mississippi College

Mar 21, 2009 09:01 Filed in: Bush Administration
A couple of weeks ago I was floored to receive an invitation to hear Karl Rove speak at a $125 per plate scholarship banquet benefitting Mississippi College. That an institution calling itself “of higher learning” would choose to be associated with a scoundrel who deserves, not praise, but a lengthy prison sentence, is overwhelming and deeply disheartening. Is there an ample supply of idiots in this state willing to pay $125 to eat rubber chicken and consume the bile, venom and half-truths that will almost certainly be served up along with the dessert?


Rove is shortly to testify before Congress, under oath, about the firing of U.S. Attorneys insufficiently enthusiastic about bringing frivolous criminal actions against Democrats just before critical elections. Unfortunately, the hearings will be closed, so the public will not be able to see him squirm and attempt to evade questions, the answers to which we all are entitled
to know. Hopefully, transcripts of the hearing will be made available.


Reactionary genius Fred Sullens, editor of the now defunct Jackson Daily News, hated Theodore G. Bilbo, governor and senator, with an intensity matched only by his hatred of Governor Paul Johnson, Sr. Once, when he learned that Bilbo was to deliver a speech in Oxford, he wrote, and the date is illustrative only, “ On May 5, 1943 at 10:00 o’clock A.M., in Oxford, Mississippi, a vulture will puke.” Seems appropriate now.
