Is Rove Bush's brain in Texas, as Governer?
Is Rove, totally Bush's boy? Did Bush bring Rove to Washington?

Are they so a part of each other, politically that Bush really can't pretend this was going on unknown under his nose?

1. Oh, yes.
A touching love story.

I asked Rove if he remembered his first impression of the Bushes. "The father was incredibly gentle," he said. "Great character. Very thoughtful. Really generous in his openness and attitude. Clearly pained by Watergate as it unrolled." His first memory of George W. Bush was more precise. "It was the day before Thanksgiving, 1973," Rove said. "Chairman Bush´s chief of staff called me and said, 'I've got to be at a meeting on the Hill, the chairman´s got to be at a meeting at the White House, the other people in the office have already gone, and the eldest son is going to be coming down from Harvard. He's going to arrive at the train station, early afternoon. He'll call over here when he gets to the train station. Meet him down in the lobby and give him the keys to the family car." I can literally remember what he was wearing: an Air National Guard flight jacket, cowboy boots, bulletins, complete with the-in Texas you see it a lot-one of the back pockets will have a circle worn in the pocket from where you carry your tin of snuff, your tin of tobacco. He was exuding more charisma than any one individual should be allowed to have."

Rove totally got Bush into the TX governor's mansion. There was a very ugly last-minute smear against Gov. Ann Richards implying that she was, gasp, a lesbian.

3. Good - So Bush has to pretend that he doesn;t know what his brain is doing
behind his back.

2. Rove has been around forever, all the way back to the Nixon era when
he was the head of the college republicans
