the Rover

The Politicos seem to have gotten into, if not the apparatus of web logging, at least into the rhetorical swing of things: overheated rhetoric flung about indiscriminately In Capital's Rhetoric Wars, 'Sorry' Is a Temporary Pause . I understand that it all just good light hearted entertainment done in the name of fun Downplaying Durbin, Jumping on Rove. Possibly; though, there may be some who believe what these folk are saying, possibly some of these folk do believe what they are saying.

Rep. John Hostettler (R-Ind) for instance. '"Like a moth to a flame, Democrats can't help themselves when it comes to denigrating and demonizing Christians," Hostettler said.' Hostettler accuses Dems of waging 'War on Christianity. I find it especially touching the way that quote carries with it the easy and glib assumption that democrats are not Christians. I should ask what it is that leaves Mr. Hostettler believing that he himself might be Christian? He seems to have let a sense of righteousness stand in for any being upright. Leaving him with only with a certain intoxication of vertigo. "Like moths to a flame..? Well,

"As Kingfishers catch fire dragonflies draw flame;... I say more: the just man justices, keeps grace that keeps all his goings graces..."(G.M.Hopkins)
This man Hostettler leans too hard on the crutch of his assumed faith.

As for Karl Rove, who while feeding the crocodiles of his own lumpen street let it be known that he imagines that 'liberals want "therapy and understanding" for the 11 Sept. attacks' Rove Criticizes Liberals on 9/11 - New York Times . This is how he believes he can distinguish the Bush administration's utterly incompetent non-engagment with that enemy, in order to chase down their own personal business with Iraq. He seems to be the new administration point man on this and similar matters: Rove Taking a More Public Role . Here one is tempted to see a subtext that as some generals are valuing the lives of their solders over Dick Cheney's reputation and so disclaim that the insurgency is in its last throes, that some other speak for a while.

One of the offices in the Pentagon annhilated in the blistering inferno of airliner driven into ground, was a unit I was attached to for a few years, CNO-IP (OP 009U). This is where I had transferred after Rvah-7 decommissioned. This had been quite a few years earlier, but it is where I sat, in a uniform I had taken an oath to wear, among compatriots in their uniforms, doing our jobs. Let me pause for a moment to catch my breath so I can try to take this debate to a higher level and here say exactly what need to be said. Karl Rove can Kiss my Ass. He is beneath contempt.
