From US NEWS:
Democrats are always a little dumbfounded when they get some advantage over President Bush and the GOP. And this week, they can’t believe their luck.
Not just because the White House has seemed completely unprepared to deal with questions about its involvement in l’affaire Plame but also because the man in their sights is their archenemy, Karl Rove.
And later:
“The partisan attacks against Karl Rove are out of control and entirely inappropriate,” said North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole, who heads the Senate GOP’s campaign committee. “He is a distinguished member of the White House, and he is my friend.” And friends count for something in this town. Brian Nick, Dole’s spokesman at the National Republican Senatorial Committee, says the Rove saga is a signal not of Democratic advantage but of failure.
“It is another venue for Democrats to attack Republicans because they don’t have an agenda,” Nick says. “They are not going to cause us a problem. That is not a party right now that has a clear understanding of where they are going.”
Can’t say I disagree with Nick on that one.
