Bush strategist Karl Rove takes victory lap after election win
The Rat Bastard can't contain his glee alright, as he whacks himself off on national tv...

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Karl Rove, chief strategist behind President George W. Bush (news - web sites)'s successful bid to recapture the White House, took a victory lap around the US talk shows, expounding on the strategy of the campaign he had stage-managed from the shadows, and the future of US politics.

snip...

Asked about rival Democrats who spent the week constructing scenarios that might have tipped the narrow margin their way, the Republican strategist could not contain his glee.

"Yeah, well, if, if, if," he told NBC television in a rare interview Sunday.

Opposition Democrats vilify him as the master strategist "attack dog" of many political hatchet jobs, although Rove's fingerprints are rarely found.

Rove is sometimes called "Bush's brain." Bush himself dubbed Rove the "architect" of Tuesday's win. And he engineered Bush's 2000 squeaker, after which Bush called him "Boy Genius."

2. A victory lap for Karl Rove would consist of a big plate of
deep-fried everything, eaten like a dog.
A running lap would kill him.
