Yes, that's a line from one of that George Bush's old speechwriters, Michael Gerson, now a WaPo columnist. Michael Gerson comes out today speaking against the Tea Party, specifically against Christine O'Donnell's supporters, and aligns himself closely with Karl Rove, the so-called 'architect' of George Bush's victories in 2000 and 2004. Of course, 2006 and 2008 weren't so much helpful to our (Conservative) cause, and come to think of it, neither was 2000 and 2004; so Rove isn't mentioned in connection with those setbacks.

What's troubling to good people is Karl Rove's inexplicable attacks on Christine O'Donnell after she picked up the win in Delaware; one could correctly say that Rove, with his hateful and spiteful remarks, was the architect of current Democrat attacks on O'Donnell. I think Rove should have had his jaw wired shut; if you've nothing nice to say, and all of that.

Michael Gerson quickly rides to the defense of Karl Rove. Imagine that; Gerson and Rove would've been hung together if the same Democrats they are now sucking up to in the past few days had had their way, oh, anytime during the 2000-2008 span of years when George Bush was reviled in power.

How easily do these Ruling Class Republicans meet and greet with their Ruling Class Democrats counterparts, when it comes to beating back any outside-the-beltway usurpation? I guess the Tea Party just doesn't have the proper Community Organization credentials as did the far-left wing of party crashers who visibly took over the once-proud Democrat Party.

Gerson, now a speechwriter for no politician, certainly not for a Tea Partier, has to make his living by publically running his mouth, as a pundit. No better than those he criticizes today; given his party's record (the Genteel Republicans, the Bush Republicans, whatever definition you like) lately, it's best to take his punditry with a shaker of salt. He sinks his teeth into the throats of Tea Party supporters Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin and Dan Riehl, coming away with blood on his fangs...

While Rove's critique was tough, the reaction in parts of the conservative blogosphere has been unhinged. Michelle Malkin wrote that it "might as well have been Olbermann on MSNBC." Mark Levin pronounced Rove at "war against the Tea Party movement and conservatives." "In terms of the conservative movement," wrote Dan Riehl, "we should not simply ignore him, but proactively work to undermine Rove in whatever ways we can, given his obvious willingness to undermine us."

Positions I support fully. Why, you ask, does Gerson believe otherwise?

Some conservatives have adopted the Bolshevik approach to information and the media: Every personal feeling, every independent thought, every inconvenient fact, must be subordinated to the party line -- the Tea Party line.

Bolsheviks...let's see...those evil Communist rubes who split the Communist party and delayed the 1917 Revolution? Really, Michael?

The Bolsheviks believed in organising a party in a centralised and disciplined fashion that sought to overthrow the Tsar through a mass workers' revolution.

You are confused, Michael. The Tea Party is the Starfish Party; there's no central organization, and no mass worker's revolution. Maybe you're thinking of Obama's ACORN or Union Thug moochers, the 'shock troops' of the Democrat Party.

I guess the Tea Party's lack of structure makes it tough on political hardballers and insiders such as Michael Gerson and Karl Rove to find suitable employ. Who needs a structured and centralized apparatchik when the Tea Party is loosely organized, and can absorb losing an O'Donnell if that's what happens, because there's another arm growing from the wound? And who wants a Bush speechwriter to write for anyone nowadays?

Not that Christine O'Donnell's case is hopeless. It won't be easy, with the likes of Karl Rove and Michael Gerson speaking with their diarrhetic pundit-traps in a vein easily picked up by Democrat operatives such as Markos Molitsas and Olberdouche and spread far and wide to gleeful leftards. Karl Rove, rock star for the KOS set; what's next, a diary? Maybe Markos can pay you to write speeches against the Tea Party, Gerson. I think you'd look good with an orangey-white background, eh?

Hope you enjoy your few pieces of silver there, Gerson, you out-of-work apparatchik you.
