What's With The Rove-anoia?

Cindy Sheehan speaks to the multitudes!

And the first words out of her mouth are Karl Rove.

So the first question that comes to me this Monday morning ... besides "How can she conjure up 'hundreds of thousands' of demonstrators when the number was apparently between 100,000 and 150,000 ... is, "What is it about Karl Rove that makes them so paranoid?"

You could say that it's because he's not elected but has power with the president. But then there's James Carville.

You could say that it's because he is pinpoint focused on the president's success. But then there's James Carville.

You could say it's because Rove is particularly effective. But Bush under Rove isn't any more popular today than Clinton under Carville was at this point in his administration.

That leaves the boogeyman. The childish, emotional politics of the ANSWERless Left always require a boogeyman, and Rove's the one obvious choice: behind the scenes, rarely seen, powerful.

And then there's that K-for-Karl ... the anti-AmeriKan, pro-Karl Marx, quick to throw around KKK Left has a big thing for that letter.

And the letter K is as logical an explanation as any for their Rove-anoia.
