HOME SWEET HOME

They're so disconnected from the real-world consequences of what they do (or don't do). So when a couple of busloads of people showed up to demonstrate at Karl Rove's house, he got pretty upset.

Palacios said that Rove was "very upset" and was "yelling in our faces" and that Rove told them "he hoped we were proud to make his 14-year-old and 10-year-old cry."

A White House spokesman said one of the children was a neighbor.

Palacios, trembling and in tears herself, said, "He is very offended because we dared to come here. We dared to come here because he dared to ignore us. I'm sorry we disturbed his children, but our children are disturbed every day.

"He also said, 'Don't ever dare to come back,' " Palacios said. "We will, if he continues to ignore us."

Boy, he just can't help lying, can he? It seems to be a given in this administration.

I wonder how Karl feels when confronted with the concept that these policies involve something more than moving pieces on a game board.

And I wonder how long before he has 24/7 Secret Service protection at our expense.

UPDATE- A lot of the usual suspects in Blogistan are tsk-tsking, calling the demonstration beyond the pale, etc. You know: the same people who remain so approvingly silent when the fundie wingnuts surround the house of an abortion doctor, clinic patients or anyone remote connected to one.

Like that. Only different.
