While we wait for a Karl Rove book deal, we might as well kill time with books about Karl Rove aka “Bush's Brain” aka “Turd Blossom”. No doubt there are authorized and unauthorized biographies of the President's political adviser.

Of course, any book from Karl Rove himself will be the Book of Lies– can any member of this administration be trusted to tell the truth, much less the whole truth and nothing but the truth, about anything, to Congress or anyone else? Not likely, alas. But let's see what turns up.

It also might not be a bad idea to keep an eye on Cheney, playing Palpatine to Bush's Darth Vader. Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of that man?
