How Is That Even Possible?

How about this for a disturbing headline -- "Rove Gets Bigger Role at White House." Check it out:

President Bush's senior adviser, Karl Rove, will take on a wider role in
developing and coordinating policy in the president's second term, the White
House announced on Tuesday.
Rove, who was Bush's top political strategist
during his 2000 and 2004 presidential campaigns, will become a deputy White
House chief of staff in charge of coordinating policy between the White House
Domestic Policy Council, National Economic Council, National Security Council
and Homeland Security Council.

Rove will continue to oversee White House strategy to advance Bush's
agenda and will "make sure we have an open and fair process for the development
of policy and to make sure the policy is complementary and consistent with the
various councils," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

"He is one of the president's most trusted advisers who has played an
integral role in strategy and policy development for a long time," McClellan
said.


I'm glad to see that policy will continue not to be politicized in this adminstration and that we can count on good, sound policy debates continuing. What were Paul O'Neill and John DiIulio thinking?
