Karl Rove's Book of Lies by Paul Begala
-snip-
In writing his memoirs, Karl Rove faced a choice. He could reach for history: Fearlessly face the numerous failures of the Bush presidency, account for his role in the destruction of the American economy and a disastrous, dishonest war. Or he could play to his base: Deny everything, admit nothing, assert baldly that white is black.

Guess which path he chose?

I am not, I must admit, a fan of the political kiss-and-tell, so I don’t begrudge Rove a full-throated defense of the president he served. Nor am I part of the Democratic obsession with Rove. Karl was just the latest in a line that stretched from Carville and Atwater back to Willie Herndon, Lincoln’s political guru. I’ve always believed it’s better to focus on the organ grinder, not the monkey.

1. this is the tip of the spear, Cheney is next then W.
We will get all 3 books rolled out to support the lies of the others.

Rove is first because he is the lower profile of the three. Cheney will go on his FOX book tour sighting Rove's book for his lies and then the Shrub will do the same thing with both Dick and Karl to support him.

Still manipulating the media and misleading America.

Wasn't Rove the organ grinder and Bush* the monkey or did I miss those hateful eight years?
