If message discipline doesn’t work, there’s always *message bondage*, I
guess. Now Rove has always reminded me of the geeky kid in the old *Far Side
* cartoons who spent a lot of time frying insects with a magnifying glass.
But the idea of the Boy Genius orchestrating identical speeches for House
Republicans brought back a different memory: Thomas Pynchon’s novel *The
Crying of Lot 49*, in which a character who had taken far too much LSD
became obsessed with the idea of getting the whole world to simultaneously
say the words: “Rich, Chocolatey Goodness,” after which God would appear or
something.
