Hmmmmmm..... The NEXT of the endless cycle of administration related "Screw-ups" might SEEM to be more monumental, devastating to America, and/or significant then all of those that have "Preceded"?

Perhaps GWB’s FIRST public demonstration as "President" of his strong willfulness & leadership should have been more APPARENT to "Some" American voters, but.... No human being's leadership could ever have been displayed better, than watching the most intellectually challenged president of all time doing his impression of a dumbstruck deer staring into the headlights of a oncoming vehicle at night, for a full seven minutes. If one of his handlers had not assisted that bumbling coward to his feet, he would have continued sitting with there with that blank expression until he raised his hand and asked the teacher if he could go make potty.

Now HOW LONG did it take before he "Resurfaced" long enough to address the "American People"? HOW MANY DAYS went by, before that occurred?

Actually... Since when has Karl Rove "EVER" done anything (especially anything of extremely HIGH profile)... without having some "Agenda" that was being (or about to be) carefully & painstakingly orchestrated???

Think about it..... On the ONE hand, getting MOST of the "Official" Democratic Opposition believing that the "ROVE ERA" may actually "BE" at an end. & thereby getting MOST of the current-day "Karl Watchers" OFF of his back and looking "Some where else".

As for ANY "Real" Washington-watcher or clinical observer of the "Neo-Con Agenda" and it’s "Key Henchman", ONE CAN ONLY SPECULATE what "Horrors" are written into Karl's New-Conservative issued marching orders!!!

It in FACT wouldn’t surprise SOME people TOO very much, if it were true that his expertise was needed ELSEWHERE to help plan 9-11 #2 and ASSURE that the GWB could effectively AND indefinitely postpone the 2008 election!!!

But seriously: "What MIGHT be some of the "Actual TASKS" that are now going to be undertaken by the Karl-bot???"

First and for most: It would DEFIANTLY be a practice of "Wishful Thinking" to actually fall into the TRAP of thinking that BECAUSE Karl R. Submitted his "Official Resignation" ON PAPER, that his ACTUAL INFLUENCE in the Executive Branch, Republican Party, OR Neo-Con Leadership has been DIMINISHED in ANY FORM of FACTUAL PRACTICE!!!

WHEREAS it is this authors most SINCERE opinion that to UNDER-ESTIMATE the FAMOUSLY RENOWNED "DEVIOUSNESS" of Karl and his shadowy henchmen, would be the SAME as welcoming yet ANOTHER series of monumental DISASTERS for America & Americans, as WELL as our Civil Rights and Freedoms as US Citizens.

So.... What’s next for "Karl"? It’s ANYONE’S GUESS... but here are just a FEW of the possibilities:

Lull the "Opposition" into a false sense of security while:

• Plotting how to once again "Manipulate" (Steal?) the 2008 Elections?
• Orchestrating, overseeing, & implementing measures to regain CONTROL that was compromised by the 2004 Election losses to the Democrats?
• GROOMING the current Governor of Texas (Rick Perry) for a possible bid for the White House in 2012 [Given the UNLIKELY event that the Republicans manage to LOSE that spot in 2008 ALTHOUGH they most probably have taken steps to ASSURE (Guarantee?) that as a "Victory already]?

*** OR COULD IT BE ***

• GROOMING the NEXT "Beneficiary (Repeating Error?) -Apparent" of the "Bush Dynasty", GEORGE "Preston" BUSH for a possible 2012 or (more likely) 2016 Presidential Race (After all, we all KNOW the Karl was INSTRUMENTAL to assuring that George "W" Bush would be groomed as a "Mindless" Presidential Puppet that the Neo-Conservative Agenda COULD CONTROL)

A "Combination" of the above? ALL of the ABOVE? ....Or something ENTIRELY DIFFERENT? It’s really ANYONE’S guess, but ONE thing is for CERTAIN that the departure of "Karl Rove" from the limelight CAN NOT be taken as the "Final Curtain"!!!

Now... TODAY’S "Moment of Zen" is brought to you BY "The Republican work ethic":

George W. Bush is poised to add yet another distinction to his presidency:

He will soon be the most vacationed president in history. He has been in office for 6.5 years and has taken 418 days (1.2 of those years "In-Office") of all-expense-paid "Vacation".

Ronald Reagan holds the record at 435 days, but that was for his entire presidency. Bush still has 1.5 years to go.

BTW, that works out to about two months every year. Considering the average American gets two weeks, it makes you think.
