Never Show Your Hand
You can say what you want about Karl Rove's version of Replublicans (personally I agree with what's here). You may even argue of what his absence may mean for President Bush.
One thing's for certain: Rove has no one to blame but himself.
His biggest shortcoming? Wanting to be known. True kingmakers are content with staying in the background, operating from behind the curtain and manipulating things from the sidelines. They don't want public recognition. They shun awards. They are suspicious of praise and publicity.
But Rove couldn't help himself. Being called the President's "brain" can really inflate you ego, ya know. Once he decided to have an official position with Bush's administration, it was all over. It's like the Loch Ness Monster suddenly deciding to be the spokesperson for Red Lobster. Now we see, without a shadow of a doubt, who you are and what you're about.
In short, you've been made fair game.
