The excerpted article below asks a very good question. Why in the world does Karl Rove--hey, "Christian" is literally his middle name--have even a shred of credibility? He lied and schemed for his whole career, committing ethical and most probably violations of the law as a matter of course. He's a detestible toady, who even to his biggest supporters is known as "Turdblossom" or "Rove, you magnificent bastard." They love his scumminess.
Rove's policies have been proven wrong, and even worse, his predictions and pronouncements are regularly proven wrong as well. He's got a horrible track record. Still, people keep asking his opinion. Hell, they pay for it. I suppose this isn't entirely uncommon. Pundits like Bill Kristol, Brit Hume, Mort Kondrake, Charles Krauthammer (and so many others) are quite regularly wrong. And the lord, god, king Mr. Wrong of all time--Dick Cheney--still gives speeches that are covered by all of the cable news channels live.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a career you could suck really bad at, and still get gigs?
