"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Karl Rove's Shameless, Remorseless, Soulless Attempt to Rewrite History
"He went on to paint a picture of a White House pushed into war, and laid the blame for much of what has happened since on a Congress that had 'made things move too fast.' If not for Congress, you see, there would have been more time for weapons inspections, and to build a broader coalition....Watching Rove, two things were perfectly clear: his disdain for the truth and his contempt for the American people know no bounds. Rove's appearance was the work of a shameless, remorseless, soulless political animal taking the first steps on what will no doubt be a high profile and lucrative march toward historical revisionism. ...he is hell-bent on replacing reality with the latest incarnation of The Big Lie. A student of history, Rove is obviously also up on his Orwell: 'Who controls the past, controls the future'."
