US Marines embed officer in Daily Show

Rob Riggle Daily Show US Marine
NPR just outed Rob Riggle! Maybe you knew it already, I did not, but Comedian Rob Riggle of the Daily Show is a Marine Corps Reserves Officer! The news story this Memorial Day being that Riggle just got promoted. His duty in the Marines? Public Relations Officer! On the DAILY SHOW, handling public relations, and he earned a promotion WTF!

We think of reservists like dry-season firefighters: in theory, volunteering to assist in times of crisis. Certainly “putting out fires” defines the challenges of media relations too.

Since when has it been okay to spend defense funding on making palatable what the military does? Defense Department propaganda aimed at the home front public used to be forbidden, when Josef Goebbels was still a bad example. Now we accept paying soldiers to kill civilians, and we need soldiers stationed in LA to keep us in a laughing mood about it.

So which is Rob Riggle’s day job, and which is his reservist post? Riggle’s reserve duty is mentioned in his Daily Show bio, as if he is a soldier. Basically Riggle is a military propagandist embedded with the Comedy Network.

Karl Rove vs Heinrich Himmler: Get Ready to RRRRRRumble!

Power-behind-the-throne Rove is now under the microscope. His name is Front and Center in Three of the Big Four investigations before Congress this week. The other one is Walter Reed investigation, and the only link to that is his continual firing off at the mouth about any attack on his Beloved Fuhrer.

Power behind the throne Himmler, on the other hand, wasn’t a household name in Deutschlander households until AFTER the war.

Cartoon and poster Images of the Fuhrer and his best buds, show him flanked by Hermann Goering, and that simpering worm Josef Goebbels. Not a sign of Himmler anywhere. That’s American and British cartoons and posters.

So Our Karl, has basically not only screwed himself, he has bolted and nailed himself into the bargain.

You just can’t get away with being a puppeteer and actually show your hands on the strings. The audience is supposed to be watching the puppet.

Out of all the major players, his being taken out can damage the Agenda more than anybody elses.

Even Bush and Cheney would be expected to “take one for the team” ahead of him. Karl has supposedly prepared to throw his Kingmaking machine over to support McCain, effectively taking away the threat of Das TotenKultur being overthrown merely by one or two faces being taken away.

His ego trip got the better of him, and now he is running out of places to hide.
