Democrats have become totally unhinged in their desperation to get rid of Karl Rove. I've never seen anything like it, in my 30 years of political activity. They are willing to say and do almost anything, no matter how hypocritical, ridiculous, libelous, or treasonous, to get this guy out of the White House. He has become the white whale to a party full of feckless Ahabs.
There's a great book to be written someday about how Karl Rove became such a bogeyman to the Left. I don't think even he could have ever foreseen himself being so successful in driving an entire political party to throw itself off a cliff.
What the 'Rats do not seem to understand is that even if they somehow succeed in getting Rove out of the White House, nothing will change. Bush will still be able to pick up the phone and get Rove's advice any time he wants.
