Fun, heavily biased Rove article

[outlander78]

I did a google news search for Rove, and found this balanced (in the same way that Fox News is balanced, but in the other direction) article on Rove.

For those who like a good mud flinging article, have at it!

Portly, balding, malicious, simpering, he looks like a cross between Sesame Street’s Mr. Hooper and the Third Reich’s Heinrich Himmler. And he acts like a cross between Heinrich Himmler and Henry Kissinger. Whom he also looks like. And not in a good way.]

So, it a scholarly article.

No, it's a fun read. A guilty pleasure. Like reality TV or Fox News.

Still less vitriolic than an Ann Coulter book.

And doubtlessly better researched.

(The description is nicer than I expected. Rove looks like every "white collar" child molester I've ever seen a picture of. Except in Rove's case, the child is America. High-end Republicans don't abuse or molest at the individual level. No profit in that. They prefer entire social groups and ecosystems. Economies of scale and all that.)

What a well researched and thought out arguement against the polices of Rove.

You have done it again Fumetti. He must be guilty. I mean see how he looks!

Hey Fumetti, I'm not very good looking either. You can use that against me the next time we argue.

Hurm. Odd response since I didn't offer (or purport to offer) any such policy analysis... (But he's clearly guilty no matter how he looks.)

I don't use people's looks against them in political arguments. It would have to be germaine to the discussion. Like Dubya's pitch black demon eyes. Spawn of Satan, for certain. Why am I convinced? His policies. If you look like a demon, and administrate like a demon, then...

Explain these two quotes"

This oughta be good. I can't wait for the slithering to begin.

I remember in the first DEADMAN story, Boston Brand explains the difference between a character analyst and a fortune teller to a crooked cop about to run the circus' fortune teller in just to be annoying:

"If I call you a lousy excuse for a cop, that's character analysis. If I tell you tomorrow you'll be looking at a charge of false arrest, that's fortune telling."

Saying that Rove looks like every child molester Fumetti has seen a picture of is a simple observation. A photography critique. He wasn't even calling him a child molester, he was just saying he LOOKS like one. And he didn't say looking like a child molester means he must be guilty of any crimes laid on his plate.

And while under the circumstances I wouldn't blame you for conjecturing that Fumetti's meaning is that anyone like Rove who looks like a child molester must be guilty of any crimes laid at his doorstep, it's not specifically what Fumetti said. It's your interpretation.

Which doesn't necessarily make it wrong, but it also doesn't necessarily make it right enough for him to bother trying to defend himself against the accusation.

In other words... both of you fucking knock it off.
