Rove: the good news and the bad news

the good news is that his influence is on the wane within the party... the bad news is that he is still dr. evil in the bush administration, and it is, after all, the bush administration that, more than anything else, is ruining this country... granted, when the white house, the senate, and the congress r's were all moving together in rovian lockstep, the juggernaut was truly fearsome... but, with the national security/constitutional destruction alert level still red, thanks to such crap as the unitary executive, the aumf, signing statements, and their hell-spawn - warrantless wiretapping, indefinite detention of detainees, detainee torture, extraordinary rendition, endless war, etc. - the white house continues on its merry way with rove and his satanic partner, uncle dick, at the helm...

Political adviser Karl Rove's "word is no longer GOP gospel," according to a front page story in Sunday's edition of The New York Times.

"Karl Rove, the president's chief political adviser, is struggling to steer the Republican Party to victory this fall at a time when he appears to have the least political authority since he came to Washington, party officials said," report Adam Nagourney and Jim Rutenberg for the Times.

"Mr. Rove remains a dominant adviser to President Bush, administration officials say," the article continues. "But outside the White House, as President Bush's popularity has waned, and as questions have arisen among Republicans about the White House's political acumen, the party's candidates are going their own way in this difficult election season far more than they have in any other campaign Mr. Rove has overseen."

as long as karl rove has even a pinky-toe's worth of influence in national politics and/or policy, we are all in deeply dangerous territory...
