The Other Tact
Lou Cannon at the Washington Post has an interesting article up today, using a new tact to urge President Bush to fire Karl Rove. Now, instead of demands, and accusations of guilt, he's invoking Reagan and his firng of Don Regan, and the new beginning after his scandals.
He also brings up Clinton and his scandals, but doesn't delve into it, maybe because Clinton was never trusted by about half the population.
The fact is, Rove has been a thorn to the Dem's for the last five years. They still can't comprehend the amount of money Soros, et. al. spent in 2004 and they still lost. He's played hardball with them, and won for the most part, and they want him gone. The shrieks of Harry Reid and Ted Kennedy aren't going to do it. Bush will keep Rove if only to antagonize them, and remind them He, not they, control the White House.
I'm doubting Lou's soft sell on the idea is going to get him to fire Rove either.

The whole ordeal gives me tired-head. I just don't understand why everybody can't just play by the rules. But, that would make life easy, wouldn't it?
PD, she's no more a shill for the left than you or I are for the right.
Besides, she's got a good point "Can't we all just get along" would take part of the fun out of politics :)
