Traitor Karl at his Repulsive Worst

Did you, like me, scoff when Arianna Huffington announced her celebrity group blog?

Nobody's laughing anymore. It pays to have correspondents who get into the best parties.

Rove Off The Record On Katrina: The Only Mistake We Made Was Not Overriding The Local Government...

Karl Rove, President Bush's top political advisor and deputy White House chief of staff, spoke at businessman Teddy Forstmann's annual off the record gathering in Aspen, Colorado this weekend. Here is what Rove had to say that the press wasn't allowed to report on.

On Katrina: The only mistake we made with Katrina was not overriding the local government...

On The Anti-War Movement: Cindy Sheehan is a clown. There is no real anti-war movement. No serious politician, with anything to do with anything, would show his face at an anti-war rally...

On Bush's Low Poll Numbers: We have not been good at explaining the success in Iraq. Polls go up and down and don't mean anything...

On Iraq: There has been a big difference in the region. Iraq will transform the Middle East...

On Judy Miller And Plamegate: Judy Miller is in jail for reasons I don't really understand...

On Joe Wilson: Joe Wilson and I attend the same church but Joe goes to the wacky mass...

In attendance at the conference, among others were: Harvey Weinstein, Brad Grey, Michael Eisner, Les Moonves, Tom Freston, Tom Friedman, Bob Novak, Barry Diller, Martha Stewart, Margaret Carlson, Alan Greenspan, Andrea Mitchell, Norman Pearlstein and Walter Isaacson.

Yes, repulsive Karl actually said those things while bodies, barely alive and mostly dead, were being pulled from houses in New Orleans.

Were intrepid "journalists" Tom Friedman, Bob Novak, Margaret Carlson or Andrew Mitchell going to tell you about this little soiree? About what was said while they were schmoozing with the man behind the curtain? Nope.

Journalism is dead. Long live the corporate media. Thank God for blogtopia (yes! skippy invented that term!)
