Ousted Karl Rove Takes New Job With Hugo Chavez
Ousted Karl Rove Takes New Job With Hugo Chavez

By Ion Zwitter, Avant News Editor
Caracas, Venezuela, December 2, 2006

Karl Rove, the Machiavellian strategist credited with major GOP election successes in 2000, 2002 and 2004, was fired by the Bush Administration today, three weeks after the November 7, 2006 massacre that ended the Republican majority in virtually every state and local branch of American government.

"Hey, reward is a two-way street," said Bernie Bellweather, White House Under-secretary for Explaining the Abrupt Dismissal of Presidential Appointees. "You get kudos when your smear tactics work out, you get flushed like a two-week old dead fish when they don't. Fair is fair, and we've got to clean house." (snip)

...Karl Rove, who is infamous for fighting back tooth and nail when under pressure and said he is not worried about his fall from grace, was picked up almost immediately by Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, who has previously said he admires Karl Rove's thick-skinned political opportunism and amoral ruthlessness, qualities he recognizes in himself.

1. Watch out - only a handful of DUers, it seems,
are lucky enough to be born with "satire genes."

7. Hey, I resent that. My satire gene is
front and center this morning. I loved it. It is sort of Monty Pythonish.
