Wow. The world of politics is in an uproar over these comments by Karl Rove: (he's now George Bush's Deputy Chief of Staff)

"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers."

And this as well:

Mr. Rove also said American armed forces overseas were in more jeopardy as a result of remarks last week by Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, who compared American mistreatment of detainees to the acts of "Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime - Pol Pot or others."

"Has there ever been a more revealing moment this year?" Mr. Rove asked. "Let me just put this in fairly simple terms: Al Jazeera now broadcasts the words of Senator Durbin to the Mideast, certainly putting our troops in greater danger. No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals."

As Josh Marshall puts it: "I guess we needed more evidence that Karl Rove is the most despicable man on the American political scene today."

I couldn't agree more. I wonder if the American political scene has ever had anyone that will stoop as low as this man. I can't remember one. Lee Atwood comes to mind, but Karl has him beat by a mile. I also wonder how history will judge him as well. My guess is it won't be pretty.

I presonally can't think of a more loathesome character, a vile, repugnant creature who knows fecses so well because he flings it and wallows in it constantly.

As Billmon predicts, folks on the right, including the administration, will come looking for someone to blame for the fiasco in Iraq, and they've got two groups in mind: Liberals and the media. Karl's remarks dovetail nicely into that meme, and Dan Froomkin notes the following in his White House Briefing column in the Washington Post:

Rove's new comments come on the heels of an interview with David Gregory on MSNBC on Tuesday, in which Rove provided indications that Bush's new PR blitz to regain support for the war in Iraq may include the implication that criticizing Bush's plan is tantamount to supporting the insurgency.

Got that? Criticize Bush's plan, if there acutally is one, and you're a traitor. You're supporting the insurgents. You're either with us, or against us.

If you'd like a primer on Mr. Poop in Bloom, watch the movie Bush's Brain. It'll give you all you need to know about him. By the way, Turd Blossom isn't my label for Karl Rove, it was given to him by someone very fond of nicknaming just about everybody: George W. Bush.
