I sympathize with Karl Rove.
He must navigate between the two imperatives of seeing the Republicans get elected, and of not being around when 9-11 actors Dick Cheney and George Bush get executed.
Nor can I imagine that Congressional aspirants want much to do with that...
George and Dick are not legitimate. No power is obligated to acknowledge them. No sense letting them sit in the offices; they'll just continue to wipe their asses with the velvet curtains.
