    Um, sorry to disrupt anyone who feels Rove is a good guy, but why on Earth would anyone consider him a "boy genius"? For selling a flawed president to the American people for two terms?

    Sorry, I hold my geniuses to a higher standard.

    That's the defense here? Patrick Fitzgerald's essential integrity as a prosecutor?
    Sad, really.

    On the other hand, the fact that he sold this flawed president to an American Public does make him a genius. An evil genius, but a genius nonetheless...

    If that's the standard we're using, then we could make the case that several leaders in the 20th century who were somehow sold to the American people were also backed by geniuses.

    I don't consider anyone a genius if they're using tricks or tools to dupe people into buying a flawed bag of goods. I consider that more propagandist than genius.

    Exactly. The guy's been a dismal failure in his White House job, but winning two elections with Bush was masterful (in an evil way, of course). And since I don't envision Rove having a similar deathbed conversion the way Atwater did, I'm sure Satan will give him mad props once he arrives in the lair.

    Wonder if Rove and Saddam will be bunkmates in Hell?

    Whew! At least they're not talking about that 1994 Cheney interview now.

    "Karl, why do you always make love to me from behind? Are you pretending I'm someone else?"

    "Satan, your ass is gigantic and red -- who am I going to pretend you are, Liza Minnelli?"

    The conspiracy theorist in me says he's just leaving so its harder for us to keep track of what he'll be doing before the 08 election.

    Like he doesn't have to save all his emails, now.
