"Sweets for my sweets!" Karl tells the press

[Rose Siding]

...On Air Force One on the way home, (Karl Rove,) "the architect" made a rare appearance in the press cabin, handing out chocolate-covered pecans to the reporters. He waved the lid of the tin theatrically and said, "Sweets for my sweets!" In only a few days, it'll be clear whether he has outsmarted the pundits and Democrats, one last time.

If you read the piece, you'll see why the reward was given. Titled "Why Some Top Republicans Think They May Still Have the Last Laugh", Mike Allen, Time's WH correspondent, telegraphs his inablility to think about much beyond the way Bush looks in a flight suit.

5. I bet that's what he actually meant -- they had pecans in them

He was probably chortling to himself, figuring nobody would pick up on that.
