in terms of the news coverage, i was thinking that maybe the fact is that karl rove is the luckiest man alive.
think about it--this story breaks on the day after sandra day o'connor resigned. and then there's live8 and then there's a patriotic holiday.
if you or i had luck like his, any of us could be running the bush administration.
that is the type of good fortune that would make many of us begin to think being on a mission from god or something.
but apparently it happens: there are alot of people--lots of parameters, lots of trajectories, the law of averages, etc..overwhelming luck has to be possible, and because it really is distributed by chance, why could karl rove not simply be the beneficiary of some cycle or another?
but even still, this turn of events for rove is extraordinary.
as of the evening of 5 july, 2005, he is the luckiest man alive.
