Karl Rove Needs Time To Think

Bush said he cannot now make a rational decision. That is understandable. Condoleeza Rice and Collin Powel are out of the office and Karl Rove is catching up on some much needed sleep. Without anyone around to tell him what to think, he provided the only appropriate answer for a politician. President Bush is, if nothing else, a very good politician. Or is that a contradiction in terms?
