  • MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Ooh, a book that might actually rival Going Rogue, in lies: “NEW YORK – Karl Rove’s memoir has a title, ‘Courage and Consequence,’ and a release date — March 9, 2010.” Well if there’s snappy alliteration in the title, we can’t not buy it. [AP]

The only alliteration I’ll go for is “Karl: Koy and Kuntish.”

I guess the editors decided to scrap the longer working title, “How the the Courage of obtaining two student deferments avoided the Consequences of a Viet Cong firefight”

To be fair to Karl, he’s probably actually capable of writing parts of the book himself. To be even fairer, he’s a diarrhetic shitstain who accomplished the impossible in making H. R. Haldeman look like a squeaky-clean, honest Chief of Staff.

I was hoping for “Karl Rove A Life In Politics: 2+2 = 17 and Walnuts has an Illegitimate Black Baby”

Sounds like a drinking game. Not brave enough to shred the constitution? You lose the midterm elections.

I heard they are considering putting a cartoon picture of Porky Pig on the cover of the new book.

He must have been pissed when he found out “Pride and Prejudice” was already taken

He’s not calling it Going Rove?

What the hell, Karl?!

I was hoping for Crime and Punishment, but that doesn’t seem too likely now.

I was hoping for Death and Dismemberment, but I guess you don’t do the torture thing in America.

Hooray For Anything November 18, 2009 at 2:21 pm

I’m guessing that since the word “Consequence” is in the title, it all ends with him being sent to prison for crimes against humanity and being prison raped. Or, at least, that’s my ending.

Click November 18, 2009 at 2:22 pm

And the exact time of release projected with such certainty, even Ron Jeremy would be envious.

Memoirs from former President George W. Bush, former first lady Laura Bush and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld are also scheduled for next year.

Mmm, how about Cowardice and Chins (as in multiple)?

I think Kourage and KonseKuence would be more appropriate alliteration. Plus, it would boost sales in the South.

Heinrich Himmler’s unpublished biography was called “Mut und Konsequenz.” Both guys look their best in brown. Coincidence? I think not.

It’s an apt title. He showed the courage to fuck over the country right to our faces and paid no consequences for it.

“What are two things Karl Rove lacks, Alex?”

Conscience. Also.

Way Cool Larry November 18, 2009 at 2:50 pm

“courage and consequence”???? the courage to ignore all warnings of a massive terror attack and then completely take advantage of the consequences? The courage to bomb innocent people thousands of miles away so that the consequence would be a war president who gets barely elected to a second term? the courage to order torture and commit war crimes when you knew there would be no consequences?

vladster November 18, 2009 at 2:50 pm

Courage and Consequence? Isn’t that a town in New Mexico? I knew he was messican!

I hope this doesn’t mean he’s going to be on Oprah, interviewed by Barbara Walters, or freeze up The Dish.

Does the Burny Church know about this? Maybe they can hold a special “Springtime book burnin’” just for the occasion.

kentuckienne2 November 18, 2009 at 3:40 pm

What, no homage to Goldie Hawn? Even a Turd Blossom Grows in a Turd? I always thought that nickname was particularly appropriate.

lawrenceofthedesert November 18, 2009 at 3:47 pm

I was surprised to find that the book will be published in English, as I supposed that Rove must be hiding somewhere in Uruguay.

Here’s a leaked excerpt from “Courage and Consequence:”

Ashcroft, Gonzalez, Card and I were psyched about Dick’s invitation to a private Halloween weekend party over at the VP’s residence–Dick said we could party in the “Undisclosed Location Dungeon!” Well, we got there, and sure enough, it was quite the party! Some local black-leather-clad S&M dominatrixes were there, with whips, chains, branding irons and everything else, and the pleasure-torture devices were all ready to go! There were some Redskins cheerleaders, some quite attractive stippers from the Royal Palace, and some quite androgynous babes that Card said he met at Dupont Circle one Saturday night! We all partied crazy, drinking tequila, whiskey and Pabsts from the can, until about 5 a.m., when we all collapsed in the dungeon. Dubya was pretty pissed the next morning, a Sunday, because all of us were supposed to appear on those dumbass Sunday morning TV shows–and we all blew them off! I told Dubya not to worry–those shows are for saps! Dick made it up to Dubya by inviting the Prez to the next Dungeon party, on that Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, and sure enough, Dubya showed up–in a huge, black cowboy hat, black leather pants, a black vest–and black fishnet stockings!”

No doubt he’ll tell us how he managed to be brave under the horrible pressure of bad decision making and all the wonderful things that came from it. I hope Rosie O’Donnell plays him in the movie with Will Ferrell as Shithead, natch.

If only Rove had the balls to use an ampersand. Now there’s a title to believe in.
