Rove dodges a bullet...

as Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald declines to indict the Deputy White House Chief of Staff.
Of course, the laugh here is, that Rove owes his freedom to a freeper reporter at Time Magazine one Viveca Novak (sp) who warned Rove's legal team at the last minute that Karl was a person of interest to the Special Prosecutor. The GOP's long investment in counter media resources seems to have finally paid...at least in the case of one prideful arrogant little weasel. Thus the White House Chief of Staff is now free to practice special brand electoral necromancy this fall.

Ah well...what can I tell you? Bonaparte looked like he was ready and willing to torch all of Europe after he escaped Elba. He had his own hairbreadth cliffhanger and was ready for some serious payback...then came Waterloo.
Ah...Waterloo in 1815...in that summer of catastrophe.
Bonaparte lost that day, not because he was up against superior military wits (indeed Wellington while brave was no genius and Marshal Blucher was a distinctly second rate man) but because his enemies had learned his tactics.
Rove's tactics will be pretty clear this fall...divide conquer, cheat, spend, and scandalize long and loud.
Like Wellington off in the low countries, we know where Rove must go and what he will do. The only question is, can we effectively interdict?
Who knows?
Gas is up to $3 a gallon in Menotom, Bush can off a hundred like Al Zarqawi and never bring it down.
Maybe we should start there.
Meanwhile remember this, No one can escape history not even Karl Rove.
