Enjoy the country club (maybe), you slimeball.

At a previous place of employment which shall remain nameless, when my supervisor had a mental breakdowns shortly after I joined the organization and had to take several weeks off to mend the shattered pieces of her psyche, we referred to it as "visiting the country club."

This phrase grew to encompass any embarrassing or potentially scandalous leave of absence someone might take, up to and including prison time.

So, Karl, I truly hope you enjoy your time at the country club and, once you're finished be nationally embarrassed, I sincerely hope that, if there's a God in Heaven, you'll suffer a massive coronary and die painfully and alone and then your spirit will be whisked straight to hell where you can finally start paying for what you've done to this country.

Karl Rove gets indicted, maybe, so Bush mobilizes National Guard to distract people.

Now, while this would be a great day, indeed, let's take a moment and realize a couple of things. First, while you can't get more radically, zealously, fanatically liberal than truthout.org, where this story was first "broken", they are not what you would call a touchstone of journalistic honesty. So this is probably wishful thinking. Second, I'm leaning towards wishful thinking because by noon Monday, there has been no main line news source pick-up or coverage. Methinks somewhere along the line, someone fibbed. Of course, there is a huge part of me that hopes this is just another example of the Cover Bush's Ass mentality of the current media gaggle and they're specifically not covering this because Snow sent out another nasty gram saying if they did, it would be a cold day in hell before they ever got to politely fire preapproved questions at him. Even I have a hard time, though, seriously believing they could get away with something like that.

So until there's an official announcement, this is the purest of speculation. It is interesting to note, however, that everyone pretty much immediately accepted it as not only possible, but probable, when it was announced. That is perhaps just as damning for the administration as an actual idictment.
