Are we going to miss Karl..........

.......Bilmon says maybe yes.

Rove, at least, is smart, even if it is a feral, devious brand of intelligence. Card, on the other hand, is as dense as a truck load of gravel -- a half-full truck load of gravel.

So we are going to have two dull knives running the show. Or maybe not:

It may be that Rove is about to be "deposed" only in the same sense that Tom DeLay has stepped down as House Majority Leader, and will continue to run things by remote control. Card may simply be the designated front man -- still the patsy, after all these years.

But.....

On the other hand, given Bush's well-demonstrated weakness for servile sycophants, maybe Card really has talked his way into a promotion from chief cheeseburger chaser to Grand Vizier.

I don't know but looking at the numerous political miscues over the last few months makes me wonder if the not all that sharp Card has already taken the reigns.
