Latest Rolling Stone Magazine on Karl Rove. Interesting and long read. A true horror story. I knew when the guy "retired" from the Bush administration (to cheers from Dems) that it was to set himself up as the "adviser" to whoever ran for the Republican ticket in 2008.

Long interesting read for sure! Thanks, Spongie!!!

This part rang true:

The reason Rove continues to survive is the same reason that Johnnie Cochran was called a genius for keeping a double-murderer on the golf course — because this generation of Americans has become so steeped in greed and social Darwinism that it can no longer distinguish between cheating and achieving, between enterprise and crime, and can't bring itself to criticize winners any more than it knows how to be nice to losers. He survives because an increasing number of Americans secretly agree with Rove's vision of rules, laws and "the truth" as quaint, faintly embarrassing rituals that only a sucker would let hold him back.

Great editorial opinion, backed by fact and passion.

Any time.....
