about
On March 9, 2010, Karl Rove, “Bush’s Brain”. released a self-aggrandizing contrivance of his political past, “Courage and Consequence,” in all of its hard-bound, chicken hawk glory.
On March 3rd, 2010, a coalition of up-and-coming rock bands released an anticipatory sonic recollection of the gross misdeeds attributable to Rove over the past decade, “Courage and Consequence: The Unabridged Audio,” in all of its aggressively righteous indignation.

lyrics
You make me wish, I believed in Hell, so you could go there (yeah, yeah!)
Some sweet comeuppance, with your platitudes getting you nowhere (yeah,
yeah!)
Emperor had no clothes, but you kicked up dust,you played your role.
(yeah, yeah!)
Hey Karl, You may be a genius, but you're still an asshole.
We are...
Surprised by the size of your lies
You sell fear in a cunning disguise
Repulsed by how you sell the lie
You're a waste of flesh, and we're low on supplies
outraged by the strength of your lies.
You sell fear in a cunning disguise
you are so good at selling the lie
worst of all you think you're a good guy.
MC Rove was the hit of the political season (yeah, yeah!)
You controlled the message, you controlled the medium (yeah, yeah!)
So tell me Karl, why are you hated, tell me what is the reason? (yeah, yeah!)
See Karl: We think you should be hanged, be hanged for treason.
We are...
Surprised by the size of your lies
You sell fear in a cunning disguise
Repulsed by how you sell the lie
outraged by the strength of your lies.
You're a waste of flesh, and we're low on supplies
you are so good at selling the lie
worst of all you think you're a good guy.
The tragedy isn't just with the lies, it's the liar that sells them.
The tragedy isn't just with the lies, it's the liar that sells them.
The tragedy isn't just with the lies, it's the liar that sells them.
The tragedy isn't just with the lies, it's the liar that sells them.
You lie, lie, lie, but you can't stand up (to the music)
You sell us: lies, lies, lies and chaos erupts
you sell us: lies, lies, lies won't you please shut up?
you sell us: lies, lies, lies won't you please shut up?
SHUT UP!
Hey Karl, you may be a genius, but you're still an asshole.
