Rove’s Legacy Tainted by Steroids. Satire.
I hope that this doesn’t offend anyone.
Written by GussTo many, he was “Bush’s Brain,” the master tactician who would stop at nothing to advance the political agenda of George W. Bush.
But to a growing number of experts within the Beltway and beyond, a more sinister portrait is emerging of former White House political adviser Karl Rove: a man who achieved his record-shattering results only by using steroids.
“The question isn’t whether or not Karl Rove was juicing,” says Davis Logsdon, a University of Minnesota professor who studies steroid use among White House political advisers. “The question is, exactly how much was he juicing?”
In building his case that Mr. Rove used performance-enhancing drugs during his years in the Bush White House, Mr. Logsdon compares his record in Texas, where he was an above-average political adviser, to his tenure in Washington, where he became a pumped-up superstar.
“In Texas, Rove only succeeded in getting a governor elected, but in Washington, he organized the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, staged the ‘Mission Accomplished’ photo-op and outed a CIA agent,” Mr. Logsdon says. “There’s only one way to explain the surge in performance: steroids.”
