A couple of points:
- "Bush was ' ... exuding more charisma than any one individual should be allowed to have,' Rove later gushed." I keep hearing this over and over. Why can that not be ever seen on TV? Is it because Jon et al. edit out all the charismatic stuff?
- "Rove saw the fulfilment of his ambition in Bush but it is more likely that Bush is in the end the dominant one. Bush is, after all, the President. He can fire Rove. Not the other way around. Both parties know this. In the relationship between Geek and Jock - even one as symbiotic as Rove and Bush - it may be the Geek who does most of the planning, but it is the Jock who has the power and the glory." Could this explain the Myers nomination? Surely Rove would have anticipated all the backlash and reaction, but Bush might have overruled him...
