Could not have said it better – so won’t even try : – )

A great political mind? Hardly. He could carve up constituencies with the best of them, and divide the country as easily as columns on a spreadsheet — and with no more thought — but Karl Rove was no more a political genius than Jeffrey Dahmer was a brilliant culinary artist. Being the most unapologetically unethical person in the room does not make you avant-garde. Time and time again, though, it’s been proven to make you famous.

Having said all that, this is hardly a fitting epitaph, because it’s not like Rove’s going to be going anywhere. Let’s see, can we fathom any possible reason why a lifelong political operative would leave a lame-duck White House for a private career in the very months when the next presidential election cycle is finally starting to simmer?

Hmm. That’s a tough one. Yes, it must be because he wants to spend more time with his family.

Karl Rove and Jeffrey Dahmer in the same sentence – that gets a writing award from me!
