Rove Lives It Up in Posh Aspen

USNews & World Report: While official WH focus /emphasis is on rebuilding after Katrina, WH Deputy Chf of Staff Karl Rove found time to visit a super-exclusive conference this past weekend sponsored by Forstmann Little, the investment company, in Aspen, CO. A prominent GOPer w/strong connections to Capitol Hill got wind of Rove's jaunt and wasn't pleased: "What the hell is Karl Rove doing there?" he asked. The GOP insider wondered whether it was appropriate for Bush's political guru to hobnob w/the rich and powerful at the exclusive resort at a time when the administration is supposed to be focused on helping the victims of Katrina, showing empathy for their plight, especially since Rove is supposed to be the chief architect of the Gulf Reconstruction. And ya have to wonder, how did Rove-- a college dropout w/zero engineering credentials-- get the honor of overseeing the most important reconstruction effort since the Civil War? Well, I guess when you spew the Prez's fascist agenda-- such as the Katrina mistakes were simply a problem of the feds not being able to override the local govt (illegal by the way due to the Posse Comitatus Act, which prevents the military from being deployed in a law enforcement capacity domestically)-- you always get a free ride and high position for which you are completely unqualified.
