Reply #152: I agree with you. This is from Rove. [View All]

Fortunate Son describes a scene between Hatfield and "The Man from Eufala" (whom Sander Hicks, publisher of Soft Skull, identifies as Karl Rove) in which Hatfield is taken out in a boat into the middle of an Oklahoma Lake and told the ugly truth about Bush--how he has never worked for anything in his life, how everything comes so easily to him, how he even gets out of jail free for crimes that would ruin an ordinary guy. Then the "Man from Eufala" makes clear without saying a word, after suggesting Hatfield just get used to the injustice of it, that it would be very easy to dispose of him, right then and there, in the middle of Lake Eufala.

Rove knows all about Bush's weaknesses. But he uses them as strengths, the way he uses other people's strengths as if they were weaknesses.
