Hence the presence of "Bush's Brain," making its world premiere Saturday night. The documentary is based on the 2003 book of the same name by veteran Texas journalists Wayne Slater and Jim Moore, which depicts Rove as the most powerful political consultant in American history and, in essence, a co-president.

"I knew the moment I met (Rove) back in the late '70s that he was different," said Moore, a former television correspondent who has covered Bush since his unsuccessful run for Congress in 1978. "He was unbelievably intelligent but he seemed to be different in a way. ... Every time I've been asked to describe Karl, I say there's a darkness in him that other people don't have."

Rove was interviewed for the book but declined repeated requests to take part in the film. He also declined to return calls for comment on the film from The Associated Press.

And Elizabeth Reeder, the film's co-producer, predicted: "We're ready for some challenges at the screening."



Anyone planning on seeing the film at sxsw?

in your article:

Every time I've been asked to describe Karl, I say there's a darkness in him that other people don't have."

They apparently haven't taken time to take a long, hard squint at Wolfowitz, and Perle. Bush has quite a few darkened areas in his "brain," doesn't he?

Is there anyone who could stand to watch a film about this maggot? It would be a real endurance test, no doubt.

like his boss, he doesn't like to be in the spotlight, and doesn't generally do well when he's in it.

Rove doesn't do well in the daylight much like a vampire.

... got Bush* into office, and Rove will be Bush*'s undoing.

very anti Bush/Rove. I think we should spread the word & give it as much exposure as we can during this election year!
