It is not Karl Rove that is giving him bad advise - it is Andy Card - read the following:
In an unusually revealing insight into the Bush White House yesterday, its chief of staff, Andrew Card, expressed concern that the administration was about to swing further to the right with the imminent departure of the president's closest adviser [Karen Hughes].
Mr Card told Esquire magazine that the absence of Karen Hughes - a pragmatist widely viewed as one of the most powerful women in US political history - would allow the president's conservative political strategist, Karl Rove, to extend his influence...
Since April, when Mrs Hughes announced her decision to leave the White House and go home to Texas next month, there have been signs that Mr Rove has had more of the president's ear, expanding his influence to trade and foreign affairs...
Mr Rove has also lobbied to maintain the administration's close backing for Israel, on the grounds that it was vital to secure the party's core support among southern conservatives and win over Jewish votes in Florida and California.
State department officials have complained about Mr Rove's burgeoning empire, arguing that foreign policy has become a hostage to domestic polls.
With Karl busy with the CIA leak business, President Bush is stranded with the "moderates" to advise him!
