That's pretty funny...
But I think you are too quick to assume that Rove is not madly working some spin behind the scenes. I don't know if the articles you posted are a direct result of Rove's efforts, an indirect result of the same or just a coincidence. Even those who are quick to support Bush can recognize that Bush has been taking a beating in the mainstream press and ultimately did not come out of Katrina looking so hot (regardless of whether or not he did the right thing).
If Rove wasn't busy trying to spin the story to repair some of the damage done to his boy's image he wouldn't be doing his job.
(I've said it elsewhere on this board but will say it again, Bush and his handlers missed a very solid opportunity to build support for their side. Regardless of what he was supposed to do or who was supposed to be in charge, Bush should have at least looked like he was doing the right thing. The photo OP with him playing guitar should *never* have happened. He should have had his ass on the plane to DC as soon as possible and been at least looking like he was trying to make things happen).
