    They really love themselves. On the brink of disaster and maybe jail, they still think that they are the masters of the universe. Weird and scary.

    And don't forget the time Monkey Boy mocked the troops who died looking for his phony WMD threat in Iraq?

    "Nope, no WMD under here, heh, heh ,heh!"

    Yep, that one was a real knee slapper.

    couldn't drag me to watch that thing if they greased my feet and put me on rails.

    The sight of that guy always brings to mind Joseph Campbell's "corporate worm" metaphor.  Doesn't he look like Darth Vader when they took the mask off?  All bloated and whitened by lack of sun.

    watch with only a few sips of coffee in me.  It was totally sprung on me right in the middle of my morning drone of CNN.  I was confused and sort of traumatized like a deer in the headlights, didn't know what to do to defend myself. I still had sleep in my eyes but at least my stomach was empty.

    nothing short of bizarre.

    If this was an attempt to make Rove look "more human," it failed miserably.
