Froomkin: Rove is "brilliant..."

i say rove is brilliant... i also say he is evil... i believe that every single word that comes out of the mouths of bush, cheney, rove, rumsfeld, and the whole damn lot of 'em are carefully thought out, checked against an overall master strategy, committed to memory, and thoroughly practiced before ever visiting a public ear... i've seen many, many comments declaring that rove is nothing but a pathological political hack... i don't think so and, evidently, neither does dan froomkin...

There are at least two reasons why no one should expect any apologies from Karl Rove or the White House for Rove's controversial comments Tuesday night, in which he described the liberal approach to national security as being weak and possibly even treasonous.

1) This White House doesn't apologize.

2) Why apologize when you said exactly what you meant to say?

Karl Rove didn't get George W. Bush this far just by luck. Rove has a brilliant and so far unbeatable strategy when it comes to political warfare: He doesn't defend his candidate's weaknesses, he attacks his opponent's strengths. Unapologetically.

and, ya know what...? it's working... discussions of the downing street memo, bolton, iraq, delay, and all the other bushco fuck-ups have disappeared, literally overnight, from the blogs and the msm... i said a long time ago that my only hope for bush's second term was that the devil would come early to collect the marker karl gave him on his soul...
