One Man Does Rule The World

And his name is Karl Rove, apparently.  The Huffington Post continues to provide a nearly continuous stream of hilarity and mirth.  (Hat Tip: Ace of Spades)

I'm beginning to see how this works.

Let's say that Newsweek has a story, one that not only hurts Pres. Bush but, in a two-fer, also hurts the U.S. war effort.  The only reason that inadequately sourced story got into print was that...Karl Rove got Newsweek to violate their supposedly rigid MSM journalistic standards and run with the story without verification. (hat tip: Outside The Beltway)

And if Osama Bin Laden produces a video just before the November election, an election which is strangely enough a referendum on the war on terror, a war which burst forth after 3,000 Americans lost their lives in attacks by Bin Laden's minions on 9-11, the video's arrival must have been coordinated by...Karl Rove.  The timing is just too perfect, isn't it.

And then if CBS news anchor Dan Rather and his star producer, Mary Mapes, come upon documents that show the President shirking his duty during his Vietnam-era service in the Texas Air National Guard, documents strangely enough printed in a very, very, very early version of Microsoft Word/Times New Roman font, it must have been...Karl Rove that made them run with the story before adequately authenticating the documents.

Karl Rove is omnipotent.  He is amazing.  He is either very much like this guy:

Obi-Wan Kenobi ( Alec Guinness ) in 20th Century Fox's Star Wars

"These aren't the 'droids you're looking for."

or this guy:

Mike Myers as The Nefarious Dr. Evil in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

"Talk to the hand.  You ain't all that."

or maybe this guy:

Gert Fröbe  as Auric Goldfinger  from Goldfinger,  Photograph  B69451

"No, Mr. Liberal, I expect you to die."
