Rove's Fingerprints and the Gonzales Fiasco

Rove's Fingerprints and the Gonzales Fiasco

In the pitiful performance by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in an attempt to save his job, the undercurrent of Karl Rove's role is obvious.

Rove has been behind about every act of political chicanery in President Bush's tenure and while Bush was governor of Texas.

Where was Rove in all this? I have my suspicions.

Sen. John Kerry's war record was maligned by the Swift Boat ads run against him by wealthy Texans. This attack on Kerry's heroism in combat in Vietnam was disgusting. Again, I have my hunch that Rove knew about it all along.
