What a revoltin' spectacle

CNN sure pushed the fact that Karl Rove was emerging to give a speech last night...and pushing it...and pushing it.

The network kept making it sound like it would be some sort of special announcement, only five minutes before he actually appeared, did Wolf Blitzer manage to say it was a "banquet" speech. And then it turned out to be the "Federalist Society".

Oh great, a speech before the union of wackjob - "I am the Law" cretins. The Federalist Society doesn't believe in "Strict Construction" they believe in "Our Construction". It is basically where the Michelle Malkins of the Legal World gather together to misunderstand precedent and repress each others sexual urges through satanic levels of halotosis.

So as the New York Times reports, it was just rubber chicken bullshit. If the White House somehow encouraged CNN to report this as a major deal (which is how they treated it) then the Rovians are truly out of touch. All there was in that speech was empty hubris -- that's all they got now.

I'm sure Firedog Lake can read the tea leaves of the speech for your "Fitzmas" related program activities.
