Defining Rove

The Smirking Chimp:

"Rove is the one indispensable star in the Bush firmament. It's Rove who stitched together the Bush persona; carefully blending religious zeal with Reagan's rustic chumminess. Rove is the force behind our Betsy-McCall president. He's the guy who dresses him up to lark about in military jumpsuit or to play a working class hero in flannel shirt and chainsaw. It's Rove who perfected the pallid-faced hologram that appears whenever one turns on the TV. He chiseled Bush out of wormwood producing a character that looks to have the full range of human emotions with the exception of compassion. Without Rove, junior would still be snoozing peacefully on a barstool in Abilene rather than raining down hellfire on peaceful Muslim countries. . ."
