Recovery through patronage and politicking
"...Call Rove runs political operations and manages coalitions through patronage. That's what he does. And that's what this is about. Everybody realizes that. Don't expect much if any discussion of this point in the major papers or on the networks. It's shameless. But that's beside the point. This is a time when the country needs an opposition party. Every Democrat should be hitting on this. Take the politics out of the reconstruction effort. He put his chief spin-doctor in charge of the biggest reconstruction and refugee crisis the country's probably ever faced. That tells you all you need to know about his values. Nothing that happened in the last couple weeks meant anything to him. And nothing has changed. Same as Iraq. Same stuff."
