Rove front-paged by the shilling WaPo
an extended article, most notable, in typical wapo suck-up fashion, for what it leaves out...
yeah, vandehei and balz hovered somewhere in the general vicinity of rove's downside, kind of like saying "sunny d" is a "citrus product" because it was driven past an orange grove in a truck...
their definition of "worst stretch" only comprises rove's perceived tactical mistakes, like harriet miers and the social security debacle... nowhere do we see the "real" rove, the vicious, twisted misanthrope who has very nearly single-handedly dragged politics in the u.s. to the bottom of the septic tank and set the bar for the likes of ann coulter, glenn beck, michael savage, and oh-so-many other hate-mongers... dignifying this man as a brilliant political operative without giving us a three-dimensional profile is the worst sort of journalism... they should be ashamed...

Bush endured the worst stretch of his presidency when Rove's powers inside the White House were at their peak.
