Bush and Karl Rove thrive on this status quo, which is all the more reason for Democrats to defend the politics of truth. Maybe congressional Democrats can’t stop Bush’s bills, or even his loony judges, but when he tries to obscure, twist or ignore the facts to push his agenda, the Democrats can and must call...
...even expect much from, government. People did not go hungry during the strife. Traditional communities remain strong, and the civil-society movement is gaining influence. In the Solomons today, a little good goes a long way. Perhaps the fools, drunks and thieves of Parliament will end up in Rove prison and young leaders will take charge. "If there is a struggle anywhere in the world, the cause - and answer - is leadership," says Father Brown. "I actually believe in problems.

...President was off mountain biking, leaving a political odd couple sharing a cup of coffee on the cool limestone porch of the Texas ranch. One was overnight guest John McCain, and the other was Bush's political adviser Karl Rove, the man who helped destroy McCain four years earlier in the South Carolina primary. Lately the Senator had been openly referring to Rove as "staff scum," a term of endearment he often uses for his own aides. Now the two discussed the political map and the previous day's events in Florida. Flying with Bush to Pensacola, McCain had told...
