Karl Rove Tea Leaves

How heavily will Karl Rove play in WH '08? Consider this tea leaf. Or, to be more precise, this postage stamp.

Shortly after announcing his WH resignation, Rove penned a quick letter to his old nemesis, Gore '00 camp. mgr Donna Brazile. "I love Karl, because when you receive a letter from Karl, you don't automatically go and read the letter," Brazile said. "You look at the stamps."

On the corner of Rove's envelope: a 15-cent stamp with the words "We've just begun to fight."

"I love that man," Brazile said, "because he knows how to fight."

Which drugs is Joe Trippi on this time? His latest Edwards email is too clever by half.

The idea that Bush attacked Kerry after he won Iowa and New Hampshire because somehow Karl 'the oracle' Rove was scared of John Edwards just doesn't pass the smell test. Sorry guys, it was over by then and no amount of revisionist history or mushrooms that Joe Trippi does can change that.

His idea that somehow the GOP is scared of Edwards so they are attacking Hillary is pathetic, desperate, and also...just strange. It makes my head hurt.
