You have to wonder about liberals. For instance if Karl Rove is such a “Turd Blossom”, then why bother with his leaving? I mean “good riddance” right?

Instead you would think he was the greatest thing that ever came out of Washington. After all the talk about being the “architect”, the fact is that he didn’t make people pull handles for George Bush, and speaking as one who worked for the 2004 reelection campaign of the President I can say that he had next to no influence or interaction down here in South Florida. We worked hard and brough in the votes for President Bush because - get this - people wanted to vote for him.

This isn’t to underscore Rove’s political skill or his savy in political circles, but you would think - well I know that liberals do - that George Bush couldn’t get out of bed without Karl Rove to help him.

Robert Novak writes in this morning’s Washington Post:

“Rove is unique, a rare political mechanic with a comprehensive knowledge of American political history. As an obscure young campaign consultant in Austin 20 years ago, he embraced George W. Bush — who had failed in both politics and business — and gave him a plan to guide him into the White House.”

Novak shows the same disrespect (his actual distain for Bush is not a secret) to the President as does the left in the continuation of the “Stupid Bush Syndrome”.

You know, “Bush’s Brain”? Nevertheless, I disagree that his departure necessarily spells the “end” of the Bush administration. Not that any president with so little time left in office is “lame duck”, but the there is still much that the President can do even with Rove gone.

Let’s move on.
