Karl Rove knows from going too far

Hey, did you hear? The economy is tumbling at breakneck speed into a giant bowl of suck. If you want to take a second and check to make sure whichever bank you keep your money at is still in business, go ahead. We’ll wait.

OK, good. Now we can move on to more important matters, namely lying John McCain’s untruthful lies. Yesterday, the Obama campaign finally — finally — came out and called foul on the liberties the McCain campaign has taken with the truth. You know, like how Obama wants to teach kindergarteners how to have sex. Or that he called Sarah Palin a pig in lipstick, when even Palin herself will tell you she’s a pit bull in lipstick. Which is… better? We guess?

But the Obama camp was still late to the party, and as usual, a Republican beat them to the punch: On Sunday, Karl Rove, that bastion of decency and even-handed campaigning, said this on “Fox News Sunday”: “McCain has gone in his ads one step too far, and sort of attributing to Obama things that are, you know, beyond the 100-percent-truth test.”

Yes, that Karl Rove. Can we just say, Sen. McCain, you need to stop and examine what you’re doing. When Karl freaking Rove is cautioning restraint, maybe, just maybe, you’ve crossed a line or two. Maybe. It’s worth looking into.

Now that Rove has gone and brought this up on his own, McCain’s adopted daughter would probably like to have a word with him. Just to chat.
