McClellan will go long before Rove

George W. Bush has difficulty functioning with Karl Rove pulling his strings; he would be completely disfunctional without Karl Rove.

The calls for Turd Blossom to be fired or resign will not, and should not, subside. However, watch this administration and its Republican operatives wield out one sacrificial lamb after another. The first lamb will be Scott McClellan.

Let's face it. He's completely expendable; a trained monkey can stand up there and say, "No comment!" or "I've already answered that" or "Love the tie, Mr. Gannon!" so they don't need him there. The White House will buy several months by throwing McClellan under the bus. Watch for it.

Turd Blossom, on the other hand is very much needed. Afterall, Dubya has not made a move without Rove scripting it for him first for the last 25 years.

Ken Mehlman (can this guy look anybody in the eye? He has shiftier eyes than Nixon), Chair of the RNC was on Meet the Press again. His defense was the classic Rovian offense: attack! He said several times, "these partisan attacks on a good man are and outrage!" He, as was scripted in the Republican Talking Points, imparted the unholy names of Kerry, Dean, and Hillary..... he added Reid and Schumer just in case he didn't make it partisan enough .... in the party-line game-plan of distraction.

If hacks like Melhman can keep the Russerts, Matthews, and some of the major print media focusing on Joe Wilson, or "these outragous partisan attacks", rather than the blatant falsehoods, fabrications, lying, and deciept, that have permeated this Regime and have become stereotypical of the Wrong Wing, they will win. They will keep Bush's Brain in place for a few more years and continue sending this nation's integrity and international respect into the same crapper they sent Texas.
