| Sansui said: Karl Rove has actually been reasonably vocal during this campaign, whether McCain wanted his help or not. And I also mistyped "protege" as "prodigy" for some reason, and I definitely do think there is a Sith apprentice in McCain's campaign whether he knows it or not, ready to plant that traditional October Super Smear :P

Rove is a practical guy who solves problems in a practical way, whether or not the means be ethical. But I just don't see him going out of his way to help out the Republicans on the presidential trail when there is no chance he will get a job in the White House because of it and because even many Republicans want to distance themselves from Rove and his kind of politics. Rove can be totally hit or miss. During the 2004 election, his kind of politics worked great, during the 2006 election, his kind of politics sunk the entire Republican party.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
