What the hell is a "turd blossom"

[vivalarev]

Sounds to me like its a piece of shit (fittingly enough), left in the yard for too long that eventually grows grass and flowers out of it.

I have no doubt that KKKarl is a piece of shit, but why degrade the beauty of flowers?

1. I believe, having grown up where people use the term, that it is a fart.

11. Exactly. It's because Rove flourishes in bullshit.

Not being snarky, that's the reason why Chimp calls him that.

9. It means he can even make a turd smell like a flower (seriously)

cuz he's the king of spin or whatnot

10. Someone who can take a bad sitch and turn it into something good.

Rove attacks the strengths of his adversaries. When things look bad, he makes it good. That is what a turd blossum is. A flower from shit. It's a Texas saying, one that preceeds the pile of shit that now wears it.
