Rove Influence Leads to N. Korean Bomb Test
10 October 2006Pundits this morning said Karl Rove struck a deal with Kim Jong Il to test a nuclear weapon yesterday. “The timing is just too coincidental. There is no way North Korea took this step at this time without help from the Bush administration” said a highly placed Washington official. “This has Rove’s fingerprints all over it” said another unnamed source. “Bush needed to change the subject; he did not have control of the debate. This is just the sort of subject change that benefits him and it is not a coincidence” another source is quoted as saying.
One thing is certain, Bush does benefit from change in subject. Democrats have worked tirelessly to take national security away from Bush with little success. While many on both sides are unhappy with the situation in Iraq, most people support the overall “war on terror.” Democrats have had little success changing that
Kim Jong Il’s actions work to refocus the debate back on national security and away from the Foley scandal, good news for Republicans trying to hold on to their congressional majorities. Democrats, meanwhile, are working feverishly to keep Foley at the top of the news. The Daily Kos today has little mention of North Korea. The top three posts are about the Foley scandal and Democrat predictions about conservative voters. The top post, Cheer and Jeers: Tuesday, is a collection of quotes from liberals about the Foley scandal. Quoted are Cokie Roberts, Maureen Dowd, Eleanor Clift and Clair McCaskill, liberals all. Dowd, undoubtedly an expert on the subject, expounds about what conservative women think about Republican leadership’s action in the Foley case.
The first paragraph of this post is, of course, fabricated, although I feel confident that some of the loonier moonbats on the left actually believe it. Liberals are not happy that the debate is moving away from Foley. They are working overtime trying to refocus national attention back on House leadership and their perceived failures. Look for liberal bloggers and pundits to work overtime over the next couple of weeks in an attempt to knock North Korea out of the top new spot. They want Foley leading the news cycle and they believe they can keep him there until election day.
Unfortunately for liberals, national and international events are not particularly cooperative. Events have a way of moving and happening in unpredictable ways so the best plans liberals can come up with stand little chance of controlling the news for more than a day or so. Voters, too, know more than they are given credit for, when they are being manipulated and liberals run the risk of alienating voters with constant barrages of negativity.
All in all the next few weeks look to be politically very interesting. The mid-term elections have shaped up to be as close and as divisive as the last two presidential elections have been, largely because of the divisive nature of the extreme left. Win or lose, it should be a fun few weeks watching liberals squirm and gyrate trying to find the story that will sink Republicans.
