Knight Lost! Right-wingers everywhere must be mourning today's defeat of Bobby Knight Texas Tech University by the blue-staters at Boston College. Bobby Knight is a perfect right-winger, in other words a bullying, arrogant prick and supreme hypocrite even if he is a great coach. By the way, I went to a Knight camp at West Point as a high school sophomore in Upstate New York. Like everybody else in Upstate, I was a Knight-worshipper when I arrived at West Point for two weeks of camping. But it was easy to see what a jerk he was even then.
Duke Lost! As a North Carolina alum, I've sworn a blood oath against the Duke Blue Devils and I am now hard into a bottle of scotch to celebrate their loss to Virginia Commonwealth. Not really! I'm allergic to most booze. But I can't stand Duke. It's bad enough that Coach K is a Knight protege, but he looks like Adolf Hitler with that little curl in his mouth. And then there's those super-smug Duke students who any decent person would want to see in jail even if the lacrosse team wasn't a bunch of rapists. To top it all off, my ex-wife is also a Duke history professor. So, I'm double-happy when they lose.
The Bush-Rove-Gonzales Axis of Failure--The two most Bush-identified of all the Bushies in government are Karl Rove and Alberto Gonzales and they are getting absolutely hammered in the fired prosecutor scandal. It's hard to say where speculation is going to go next--maybe talk of a perjury indictment for Gonzales' false testimony about the fired prosecutors to Congress or an obstruction of justice count for Rove's interfering with Carol Lam's investigation of Republican corruption. But it's going to get ugly. As Salon demonstrates, Rove has been up to his eyeballs in using government prosecutors for phony investigations of Democratic office-holders ever since his days as a punk political consultant in Texas.
But I'd still hate to see the dough-faced Rove resign. In the final analysis, Karl Rove is going to be the man most responsible for the Democratic Landslide of 2008. I'm hoping that he gets to watch the outcome of his handiwork from the Oval Office with President Bush.
So much for legacy!

Kaaaaarrrrl...Come ouuuuut...we've got subpoenas...
Why is it that everyone you dislike is compared to Hitler and that they are all the same (especially "right-wingers"), but it can be inferred from your comments that you believe that your group is tolerant and diverse. Your ingroup/outgroup bias shows your benightedness.
Thanks for the reply, but who have I ever compared to Hitler besides Coach K? And even then it's only his looks not his conduct.
As for the right-winger romance over bullying arrogant pricks like Bob Knight, that's just the truth. An excelent example of that is John Bolton but there is also Oliver North, G. Gordon Liddy, Ann Coulter, and more recently Rudy Giuliani. What people on the right really like about these kinds of people is that they "drive liberals crazy."
As for tolerance and diversity, I could be mistaken on this, but I don't think that any multi-culturalist has ever advertised their tolerance for jerks.
That Karl Rove thing IS funny. I do a thing on "dough-faces" versus the "square-jaws" in the Bush administration in some of my other posts this week. Needless to say, Rove is a dough-face.
