When You’ve Lost Karl Rove


Good Ole Karl 



So I read the other day that Karl Rove is looking a bit askance at the Trump administration. He says it is exhausting Americans, and the regime will end badly.


Well, of course. That’s sort of like saying Tuesday comes after Monday. Most weeks, anyway.


But it is fascinating to see good ole Karl getting into this fight. This is the man who was “Bush’s Brain.” And who did so much to make demonizing Democrats a popular pastime. And he also worked very hard to make the GOP the focused and obedient militant Party-Army that it is today. When Trump says sh*t, Republicans ask what color. And that wouldn’t have happened without Karl.


So what do we say about Karl? Perhaps not much. Perhaps nothing. Except, of course, to note that the man who did so much to get us into this mess is now vaguely noticing that it is, in fact, a mess.


Except, of course, and obviously…


He’s taking none of the blame. No matter how much he deserves it. 


How very Republican of him.
