Okay, I don’t hate all Republicans. But I find the loyal Bushies to be the equivalent of pond scum.
Michael Gerson was a speech writer for Bush. He now writes a column for the Washington Post. In his paragraph about Karl Rove:
When I asked Karl Rove this week to summarize his approach to politics, he quoted from memory a 167-year-old letter by Abraham Lincoln to his Whig campaign committee: “Keep a constant watch on the doubtful voters, and from time to time have them talked to by those in whom they have the most confidence.”
This is the same Karl Rove who can’t recall things when it is convenient to forget them, but can recall a letter by Lincoln. In the case of Karl Rove, I want to recall lettres de cachet.
