Karl Rove is really a Talosian.
Who has seen Oliver Stone’s "W?"
Good movie, even for Oliver Stone. Usually Ollie hits you in the face with a shovel for three hours, screaming over and over "I’M MAKING A POINT HERE!" That he usually isn’t sure what his point is, is, uh, besides the point.
But back to W. Several characters were eerily dead-bang. Nice little Ricky Dreyfus from Beverly Hills is a dead ringer for Vice President Vader – I mean, Vice President Cheney.
Let's not even get into how Rummy is portrayed by Scott Glenn -- the man with the lowest body-fat in Hollywood, while Li'l Rummy's voice is done by Iggy Pop -- the man with the lowest body-fat in the music industry. More coincidence. Or is it?
And Thandie Newton as Condoleezza Rice. Uncanny. Dios mio, man. Only a genius could transform a hot British woman into a joyless, sexless, amoral sycophant.
But Toby Jones’s resemblance to Karl Rove is surpassed only by Karl Rove’s own resemblance to a Talosian.
The same bulbous forehead. The same superhuman intellect. The same sad, pitiless eyes. The same total nothingness of morality.
But, and here’s the kicker – they both possess an irresistible ability to make others believe something is real simply because the Rove/Talosian wants it to be real. Their powers of projecting totally believable, sensor-round illusions is, well, just creepy. And we never see Rove and a Talosian at the same time.
So there. That’s it. No political eureka. Just another cruel coincidence.
If you look closely, I bet you can see the little vein pulsing in Rove’s forehead.
