Red RoveR, Red RoveR, Send More Money Right Over

“Poor people haven’t lost their voice.  They can’t afford a voice.  And every day working people: universal laryngitis, the chronic absence of money.  As for children – children who have a big stake in our elections but no vote – for them to be heard they would need piggy banks the size of Wal-Mart heirs.  Or the Koch brothers for uncles.”

War criminal and death row inmate, Karl “Turd Blossom” Rove. Karl acquired that gap in his front teeth in prison; you’ll have to use your imagination as to how that actually happened. Still, it won’t matter when he’s in the chair.
“Exercising their First Amendment rights, demonstrators taped a kind of wanted poster on Rove’s office door, indicating they would like to see him wearing an orange prison jumpsuit.  Instead, he could be seen last weekend in casual wear, buzzing around in a golf cart at Mitt Romney’s Utah mountain gathering of high rollers.  No doubt plotting how to raise more millions to pay for more “free speech.”
“Let’s see if we’ve got this right:  On the one hand, conservatives declare that corporations and the super-rich can spend all they want on exercising their First Amendment rights, but on the other, they demand to keep it secret so the rest of us can’t exercise our First Amendment rights to fight back?  Have you ever heard of more cowardly lions?”
