When he's right he's right!

Rove, Bush's brain, as they called him (sheesh; if he was THAT guy's brain...) has always been a terrible political consultant who could barely carry Bush across the finish line twice, even though both should have been easy wins. Rove is a big believer in "moving on" and letting a lie stand rather than fight back. He was the kind of guy who, in grammar school, told on you to the teacher and who hid from bullies all the time.

It was this policy that gave us Barack Obama; he and the GOP simply refused to fight back and got their collective trousers pulled up over their heads and got stabbed with their compasses. Rove never met a fight he didn't run away from.

And, following his program, the Democrats leeched power away from the GOP through the Bush era simply by being aggressive, knowing Rove would counsel backpeddling. I would say he's a counterpuncher but you actually have to counter-punch to be one.

Now he sits on the board of Fox News and there is a reason why Fox has moved to the Left fo the last few years. He's ruining our network, turning it into the Bush Network (Rove is basically the Bush family lawyer).

He is a guy whose time has passed. Even if you cut him a lot of slack, his approach is all wrong for this bare-knuckle political era. Now is time for a fighter, not a guy who wears a propeller beanie and a pocket protector. The public doesn't see him as reasonable - they see him as weak and fat and foolish. He's a man for a gentler era, at best.

He needs to rove off somewhere else.

(The title is a variant of what Dean Wurmer told the frat guys in Animal House, btw.)
