Edwards Statement on the Resignation of Karl Rove
Chapel Hill, North Carolina – John Edwards today released the following
statement in reaction to President Bush’s announcement that his senior advisor,
Karl Rove, will resign at the end of the month:
"Goodbye, good riddance."
Come on John, can't you channel Karl's inner-child for a more meaningful comment? I know you usually make the big bucks for channeling, especially children, but you're rather lame here.
"Goodbye, good riddance." ?
Where is the pathos? We can all get to the logic and character subjects later, but dude, you have to sink your teeth into this pathos as an opening salvo. Where's the passion? If voters are a jury, you just tanked in the court of public opinion. Keep this up and there is no second mansion in DC waiting for you.
Rove? He is the dark lord of the other America that you saw when no one else did. Rove personally oversaw the forced poverty that crushed the hope of that America of ever having a mansion with an inside basketball court.
Rove? He was the evil man that personally stole your chance to really make two Americas in that election. Because of Rove you have had to get $400 haircuts in leased jets instead of Air Force II. That's gotta sting.
Rove? He personally planted Melissa and Amanda just to make you look bad. Come on, you know it. I mean what liberal would make vulgar, bigoted and anti-semantic statement? See, I told you. Rove. You gotta believe man. Give me an amen.
"Goodbye, good riddance." ?
Come on John, step up to the plate, wipe the hair outta your eyes and dig deep. (remember, pathos!).
