Republic-ans

I saw this cartoon on a blog. For those of you who don't like links, it's Karl Rove saying to Plato "But surely you can agree that truth can be created by the repetition of a lie."

Yes, I know, it's a joke. Still, the irony is Rove (as far as I can tell from my semi-inside sources) honestly believes in what he's doing, whereas Plato was the one who suggested rulers should lie to keep the people in line.
