Senior Bush adviser Karl Rove was "very involved" in President Bush's Supreme Court nomination of Harriet Miers, who was selected in part because she has no judicial track record, according to a Republican with close ties to the administration.
"We know that Rove was very involved in the process, and he's certainly well tuned in to the Hill and how it works," said GOP strategist Charlie Black. "I suspect the Senate leadership might have given him the advice to take into consideration on how hard or how easy someone would be to confirm."
The White House was seeking a confirmable justice to replace Sandra Day O'Connor, even if its decision to name a nominee with no paper trail limited the talent pool, said David Schultz, a professor in Minnesota's Hamline University's law school and author of "The Encyclopedia of the Supreme Court."

Yeah, it's the Moonie times, so grain of salt taken.

This is the most political White House in history.

...I don't think dubya wipes his ass without Rove's involvement and guidance.

his brain is indicted?

Although, off the topic, IMO, I think Katrina was a disaster partly because Rove was getting his kidney stones removed and couldn't consult with idiot Bush about canning Brownie early in the process. Rove may be evil, but he is not incompetent.

Because Rove is such a vital part of Bush's Brain, I doubt that he will stop being in charge even after he's indicted. They'll probably do what DeLay did. They'll say he's been removed from office when all along Rove will still be calling the shots. I'm sure they already have this all planned out, knowing that indictments are inevitable.
