A masterful--and typically dramatic--piece of analysis from the New York Times yesterday examining Karl Rove's reemergence onto the GOP scene. The title alone is ingenious: 'Rove Returns'. Here's the gem though:
"In 2004, the Republican master strategist Karl Rove led weekly sessions at his Washington residence where, over big plates of his butter-smothered “eggies” and bacon slabs, he planned the re-election of President George W. Bush — and what he hoped would be lasting Republican dominion over Democrats."
Bacon slabs, eh? So what was on the table this year?
"Over takeout chicken pot pies, the group — the Republican fund-raiser Fred Malek, the onetime lobbyist and Bush White House counselor Ed Gillespie, and former Vice President Dick Cheney’s daughter Mary Cheney, among others — agreed on plans for an ambitious new political machine that would marshal the resources of disparate business, nonprofit and interest groups to bring Republicans back to power this fall."
