During the election, I heard some strange things about Karl Rove...people accusing him of getting the Peterson jury to announce their verdict at a time to take attention off something they thought was damaging to the administration, and things like that.

Then today, I saw this cartoon:



That in turn, led to this:

The eyes of Karl Rove are upon you
All the live long day,
The eyes of Karl Rove are upon you
you cannot get away,
You think you have political acumen,
you think you know the score,
Til Karl Rove gets you in his cross hairs,
and blows you out the door.

He knows what you've been doing in the morning,
He knows where you go at night,
He knows the chatter you've been talking,
He knows the truth all right.
You think you have political acumen,
you think you know the score,
Til Karl Rove gets you in his cross hairs,
and blows you out the door.

The New York Time is missing Judith,
They think Rove will be the key,
When he just smiles at what they're doing,
As they fume at him foolishly.
You think you have political acumen,
you think you know the score,
Til Karl Rove gets you in his cross hairs,
and blows you out the door.

The eyes of Karl Rove are upon you
All the live long day,
The eyes of Karl Rove are upon you
you cannot get away,
You think you have political acumen,
you think you know the score,
Til Karl Rove gets you in his cross hairs,
and blows you out the door.


I do not think that Karl Rove is Mephistopheles, but my sense of humor got the better of me today.
