This time last year, Stephen Colbert was getting roasted for roasting Gee Dub at the annual gathering of the Washington press corpse. The 2007 annual dinner was held last night, and of course, McFlightsuit had some pithy words of wisdom and humor:

"A year ago my approval rating was in the 30s, my nominee for the Supreme Court had just withdrawn, and my vice president had shot someone," President Bush said Wednesday night during the annual gathering.
"Ah," he said, "those were the good ol' days."
But wait - there's more. You want to know why the elite Washington press corpse just can't seem to remove their suction cups from the Bush regime? It's events like the correspondent's dinner. Where else are you going to see something like this from Karl Rove? (Surgeon General's Warning: please - before viewing, have eyewash and brain bleach available.)

Must. Wash. Brain.

Digg!

Seems to be a pretty normal guy with sense of humor. I like him.

I am reminded in this video of a quote from a leading progressive organizer:

"The history of the American kings of capital and authority is the history of repeated crimes, injustice, oppression, outrage, and abuse, all aiming at the suppression of individual liberties and the exploitation of the people. A vast country, rich enough to supply all her children with all possible comforts, and insure well-being to all, is in the hands of a few, while the nameless millions are at the mercy of ruthless wealth gatherers, unscrupulous lawmakers, and corrupt politicians. Sturdy sons of America are forced to tramp the country in a fruitless search for bread, and many of her daughters are driven into the street, while thousands of tender children are daily sacrificed on the altar of Mammon. The reign of these kings is holding mankind in slavery, perpetuating poverty and disease, maintaining crime and corruption; it is fettering the spirit of liberty, throttling the voice of justice, and degrading and oppressing humanity. It is engaged in continual war and slaughter, devastating the country and destroying the best and finest qualities of man; it nurtures superstition and ignorance, sows prejudice and strife, and turns the human family into a camp of Ishmaelites." -- Emma Goldman 1909 (New Declaration of Independence)

A) What is with the hair, is Rove trying to grow one of those powdered wigs they used to wear back in the century?

B) Karl has a black friend, so that makes it okay to rap

C) Tear the "tops" off of small animals? Is he a fucking android with a language chip?

i'm done. barf.

...But "usually of a non-alcoholic nature, since I don't drink"...?!?!?

I really thought that by now there would be a law on the books regarding middle-aged white guys doing freestyles. With added penalties for making random black dudes stand around while you do it.

Abominable.

Thanks ever so much, Alternet, for scarring me for life.

This is beyond embarrassing.

Makes you feel like you dropped into the Bohemian Grove and watched a bunch of white rich guys trying to entertain themselves.

And in trying to let their hair down, the entire playhouse came crumbling down in one giant nose picking.

Little do these tinhorn Nero's know that it will actually be their very own Rome that will burn when they push the nuclear button on Iran... believe it, the Chinese wired the button and made the microchips it controls.
