Film Dissects 'Bush's Brain,' Karl Rove
http://apnews.excite.com/article/20040315/D81B1NJO0.html

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - "Bush's Brain" has been cracked open and exposed for the world to see. The documentary, based on the book of the same name about presidential adviser Karl Rove, had been kept tightly under wraps before making its world premiere to a packed theater at the South by Southwest film festival.

Both the book and the film depict Rove as the true brains behind the Bush administration, and practically a co-president.

--snip--

But Rove also helped Republicans get elected to key positions throughout the state - and it's suggested that he doesn't simply want to beat the opposing candidates, he wants to destroy them.

"He seems to effectively rationalize and compartmentalize," said Moore, a former television correspondent who has covered Bush since his unsuccessful run for Congress in 1978. "I think he is able to say to himself, 'Yeah, this is maybe outside the rules, this may be wrong, this may even be illegal, but I'm doing it for the greater good of the party.'"

3. Phew!
At first I thought you said they were dissecting Bush's brain.

One would need the Hubble Telescope to achieve that!
