Rove to get Bigger Role in the White House

[ClintonTyree]

Holy crap! He's "Bush's Brain" already, what more can this porcine polluter of politics do that hasn't been done through his mouthpiece, George Bush? Is Bush terminally ill, is there really a hand stuffed up his ass? I guess I just don't understand how Rove could play a bigger role than he's playing right now.

DETROIT (Reuters) - 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.

1. It seems he was already doing much of this

Now they just let him come out in the open.

2. He's going to figure out the perfect VP replacement

so Dick can resign and the new VP can run in 2008. (Kinda like Nixon/Ford.) Just watch -- it's gonna happen.
